Bet y'all can't get this to 10 pages by dinner time.

So basically because you roll in a "high end" car :rolleyes: and can't fit on the display parking at restaurants you're ****** off? I like the wearing all your gear posing hoping someone will talk to you. Guys never roll in a car like yours past places just for the attention. Oh wait they do and most look down their noses at everyone else too. I know I'm impressed. $100k or more car that would get spanked in any way by a 10k bike.

I am sorry but you are taking this the wrong way. I admitted to doing a lot of the things on the list, and that includes revving at yonge and dundas for no purpose whatsoever. If this is how you want to enjoy riding than go ahead. My opinion as I stated in an earlier post means nothing. Its simply my observation.

Your point about a 10k bike spanking a car is absurd in the real world. We arent in a track, we arent in a race. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. In the end of the day it comes down to the rider/driver. You are forgetting the context.. the real world. I can pretty much outrun (on foot) a bugatti in standstill traffic. I dont care about paper performance figures.

I dont know why there is so much hate and "looking down". We are all motorists in the end of the day. There are just more ********** out there that forget what the experience is all about and focus on showmanship

Nailed it. Then you will have the jealous folk as well, that will do anything to bring you down.

I once parked my Austin Martin in a very discreet area, taking up 3 parking spots because I was parked on an angle in Toronto and took a high end escort out for dinner. I came back to find the entire passenger side covered in semen. This is the world we live in, full of hard working people who won't make my yearly salary in 5 years.

I agree with you. The gta and especially downtown is littered with **********. All I'm saying is they come in all forms. Many look down at you in places like Yorkville because they're driving some exotic that's leased through their company which I suppose is badass? It's the whole I'm better than you attitude and my point was while on a 10k bike it's better in every way yet these clowns still strut around like King Edward. Guys on bikes do it too. Ride from home to tims or Dundas square back to home. Look at me, look at me. Also dumb
 
Ok then we are on the same page. Like I said everyone has their own reasons for their "passions".

There are people that buy exotic cars or superbikes just for showmanship and bragging about performance.

While there are others that make huge sacrifices in life to be able to make certain dreams possible.

But I still disagree with a bike being better in every way. You cant eat a sandwich while strutting around like King Edward on a bike. The car beats you there :D

Anyways, I communicated my point. Just wanted to remind folks that the essence of riding isnt about acting like a ********* but actually riding. I will concede that I do miss it and the experience shouldnt be taken for granted. I have no more "value" to provide and will stop talking.



Message to the creeps, still incorrect.

No longer being a rider, I can now share an outsider’s perspective on the irritating behaviors of riders that I often witness (in no particular order). I am guilty for doing many things on the list, but for what it is worth, I just want to give my 2 cents.


  1. Unnecessary revving at an intersections: Throttle blipping while stopped at a major intersection Yonge/Dundas and Bay/Bloor.
  2. High RPM Riding: Riding at high RPM (near redline) at a constant speed
  3. Racing other vehicles: Just because someone is driving a sports car doesn’t mean they want to race you
  4. Lane filtering / splitting: Illegal
  5. Posing: Wearing all your gear and standing next to your bike with accent lighting hoping someone will talk to you
  6. Display parking: I see this often in the suburbs where bikers will park on a sidewalk right in front of a restaurant so others can see. Often justified by “avoid people knocking the bike”. I could make the same argument for cars as it relates to door dings. Which is much more expensive to repair than plastic fairings
  7. Superiority: Riding a bike does not make you more of a petrol head than any other motorist
  8. Following too closely: I used to hate when cars did this to me while I was riding down bad roads, not sure why riders would even do this. / Revving behind a car, this is an act of aggression.

Wait a minute, this coming from a guy who buys a new ducati, then barely rides it for a couple years accumulating a whopping 7,000km :lmao:

I have a feeling that you are "that guy" you're posting about here. From the sounds of it you were never really into bikes, just bought a flashy toy cause it looked nice, this is a whole lot different than the majority of guys/girls on here who bleed bikes...

I care, and a lot of others care. It's the reason why I drive a **** box and will continue to drive one no matter how much dough I rake in. No point in having an expensive car you can't use to it's potential; that defeats the whole virtue of the car.

what?
 
If you hit your rev limiter, you might be a D bag.

If you wear a dark tinted visor at night, you might be a D bag.

If you ride for the soul purpose of getting attention, you might be a D bag.

If you compare "chicken strips" with ANYONE, you might be a D bag.

+1 This should be a new thread! <3 Foxworthy

If your bike has more cosmetic mods than performance mods, you might be a D bag.

If you've ever "raced" a civic on the street with your SS, you might be a D bag.

If you tell people you're always "doin' 300 all the way down the DVP" on your 600, you might be a D bag.

If as you sit in traffic and you're always either burning out, bouncing off the rev limiter, or both, you might be a D bag.

If you've ever ridden in flip-flops, you might be a D bag.

If a police officer has ever questioned you for doing a burnout in a timmies parking lot, and you answered "just warmin' up my tires!" you might be a D bag.

If you've ever taken your friends bike without their permission/will and dumped it, you might be a D bag.

And last but not least, if your sissy strips (and I'm not comparing to anyone elses) are wider than YOUR contact patch, you just MIGHT be a D bag.

Meh, too lazy to swap it over most times. Easy to see out of, especially with all the D-bags running poorly installed aftermarket HIDs, or the turkeys who run high beams everywhere. Don't forget the fog lamp goofballs as well. Who DOESN'T need six headlights to drive in the GTA?
