Little Things You Hate

LTIH The 30 or so harley riders playing cat and mouse on a busy M1, all racing to be first to the Blue Oyster to eat the sao.

I'm not interested in getting caught up in the results of your ambition out weighing your talent.

I do laugh at the patch wearing type of bikie. They start their little clubs on the grounds of freedom and not needing to follow the rules when the clubs they join are absolutely full of rules that they have to conform to! 😂
Then there's that stupid thing where you aren't allowed to pass a biker wearing their colours. Just because your Harley has the power to weight ratio of a Fergusson tractor and you don't want your fragile ego broken if another bike passes you.

Sooooo... that "rule" supposedly applies to all other motorbike riders??? That is utterly retarded.

Some of the earlier Fergies were quite powerful so I think this is an unfair comparison.

I had a mate that rode Harleys and he once tried stirring me up for riding my 90's YZF600 with the typical bright graphics, saying it's all for show. I pulled him up and told him a Harley was nothing but show! It didn't stop, it didn't handle, and had no go (for the engine size) and was all just shiny chrome and noise. 😂

Christ I f***ing hate Harleys. I'm all for a bit of internal combustion noise but Harleys are apparently designed to sound as obnoxious and shit as possible. Air-cooled engines sound good in Porsches, they do not sound good in crude pieces of badly built shit that are lusted after by fat stupid insecure boomers who weren't hugged or hit enough as children (unsure which).

Overpriced Fart bikes. The exhaust note is just one long cheek-flapping fart.
 
A guy I went to uni with bought a Harley Davidson chaff cutter and pushed me to ride it. I was riding competitive trials at the time and my only comparison was a big 2 stroke single with no seat designed to climb vertical cliffs. Well fuck me. That HRC trials bike was comfier and a better ride than I thought.
 
kind of good and kind of bad, my dad decided he wasnt going to trade his car in for his last ever car. he's decided to pretty much stop driving despite just passing the doctors review that said he was still fit to drive at 82. he doesnt drive much or often, just the 2km to the station. bit sad but im glad he made the call himself, think it would have hit harder if someone else had to tell him to stop. between my mum, me sometimes and uber it shouldnt limit him too much.

There’s been some very delicate discussions around this with my mum lately. Definitely a LTIH.

Good on him for knowing when to call it

My MF65 from the early 60s left the factory with 55 HP at the PTO. Whilst also weighing about 1,200 kg. Given that our new Kioti claims only 38 HP at the PTO but runs the same wood chipper much faster and with more oomph...

...your observation is probably still quite true!!!
