So I knew going in I was going to take some crap for my post. But these 2 were funny and appreciated.
Longest excuse ever for not attending Windber.
Stay home and knit something.
You're both right.....however.....Hent I didn't list my reasons for not going to Windber except for this year. What if I were disabled? How would you feel about your comment then?
Bikerscum, that's just straight up sexist. Funny because I'm a guy, but sexist none the less.
There are faster and slower riders. You can always stay at the back of the pack with them. Also Windber is not a big city. It does not have the traffic you would expect. I also believe some of the riders passing were the ones that block the side street traffic from going onto the main road. Then speed up to get to the next side street and so on. You don't have to make excuses for losing your inner child.
Believe me Gumpit, I have not lost my "inner child". I have done more than my fair share of fast riding, and still do. I was riding Kawasaki HD's when most of the kids I saw in that video were still riding in their parents pants at least 10 years after that. I ALWAYS stay at the back of the pack when doing group rides because of that fact and years of riding with morons who just got their first Harley and think it would be "cool" to do a poker run and drink at every stop.. I can see your argument about them doing the "Funeral Patrol" thing and maybe that's it.
You maybe a little bit correct , but my brothers and I wore helmets and had a ball riding in the parade .
Also a pretty damn long excuse for not having fun .
I am correct, and I'm glad you and your brothers had a ball. I will add that I'm not trying to make an excuse for not having fun, but trying to promote safety.
Oh and that a helmet only prolongs your life long enough for the doctors to extract your organs.
Having fun is a state of mind.
We decided before our 20+ hour drive to Windber that we were going to have fun regardless of all the factors beyond our control, like the rain and boarder security. And fun we had!
Life is too short not to live to the fullest.
Dammit man, this is the hardest argument to refute. It's also probably the reason you all will see me next year at Windber. You all can give me your crap in person then.
