Asshat Award!

[keithaba]

I would like to formally extend an ASSHAT AWARD :asshat2: to some guy I had the pleasure of crossing path's with this weekend.

I was driving down a two lane residential road I'm not familiar with, and missed my turn. I put my turn signal on, and slowed down to make a left into some guys driveway so I could turn around. Because I decided to turn around, this asshat actually stops to scream at me. He was on a harley, no gear, big beard, big ugly chick on the back, tattoos.... the works....

"ASSHOLE!! JUST FUCKING TURN AROUND WHEREVER YOU WANT!!! blah blah blah...

I put my helmet visor up, big smile, wave and calmly say, "Merry Christmas,"

He flicks me off and yells "ASSHOLE." Then guns his harley to intimidate me with his loud pipes....

 

[FJRMGM]

I don't get it - did you stop to quickly for him or something?

 

[Toecutter]

Uh, what was a Harley doing anywhere near your six? You afraid to wick it up since the get-off or sumpin'?

:lol:

 

[TriggerT]

Hmm.....He should be used to having to do U-Turns to pick up the parts that have fallen off his bike. Maybe that was the problem, you didn't drop some part on the ground to signal your intentions to do a U-Turn.

 

[wpbfjr]

he ws proabably intimidated by the turn signals...

 

[Mike-H]

he ws proabably intimidated by the turn signals...

Sorry I have to disagree...he was probably confused by the turn signal (not smart enough to be intimidated) :lol: .....

 

[6mmbr]

Maybe he was just jealous you could turn around.

A skill he has yet to master?

 

[wpbfjr]

Sorry I have to disagree...he was probably confused by the turn signal (not smart enough to be intimidated) :lol: .....

and i respectfuly disagree with your disagreement... one has to be smart to turn a turn signal on, and off in the fjr's case, but intimidation is a base instinct, even the lowest of mammals respond too...

:rofl: :rofl:

So from now on I'll carry a couple of spare chrome parts in my pocket and if a harley is behind me again and I need to turn around i'll just start dropping them. Maybe then he would have said something like, "Sorry Man, I feel your pain." Maybe he would have even stopped to help me!

FJRMGM: I just think he was pissed he had to apply his brakes and was scared wether or not they would work!

It's a common Harley syndrome. They all hate to come to a stop because:

1. They can't do it without "paddling"

2. At an idle the vibration hurts their hands

3. The engine mounted horn is sure to fall off

4. When motion is resumed they get a dangerous oil spot on the rear tire

5. The leather tasels just hang straight down

6. Their testicles get that pins and needles feeling, (hence the term "numbnuts")

7. The mental strain of having to remember to put your feet down

No, I was with him Saturday, and he ain't skeert.

Sorry to slow you down Keith, I'm faster when I can actually see around the corner you just flew thru.

8. Many of them are convinced they'll go over the handlebars if they use the front brake. Hence, you prolly braked at a rate that was gentle for you, but downright scary for him.

 

[Scoot]

Most likely he just saw an opportunity to give crap to somebody who has the audacity NOT to ride a Harley.

9. The large passenger on the back exacerbates 1, 6, & 8 when slowing.

 

[Checkswrecks]

You mean you stopped without a part/buddy falling off and were turning where there was no bar? Have you no shame, you confused the poor trog.

10. Without the pressure exerted by the wind when moving thus stretching the skin, the tattoos look all blurry. Combined with #5, this is a serious Harley foul.

Now let's be careful here fella's! I don't like this Harley-Davidson™ bashing one bit. We need to celebrate the diversity of our brotherhood and welcome those toothless, tatooed, balding but bearded and ponytailed, doo-rag topped, Milwaukee goitered, chain drive wallet wearing, black leather vested, fingerless gloved, assless chaps encased icons when ever we have the chance. They bring so much to the community. They bring toys to the little tots every Christmas. And all they ask in return is the opportunity to despoil the quiet of neighborhoods across the country with the cacophonous belching exhaust of their iron horses as they head to the nearest watering hole after a grueling 15 minute ride.

Can't we just all get along???

He can be out of town, busier than hell at work, without a comp in some far off locale, caught in a tsunami, dying of Ebola in a Uganda hellhole, in Attica for yet another Enron related fiasco, but John will never, ever, no never, miss an opportunity to join in on a HD bashathon. Ever.
