Actually, by riding like a tool on a bike, you give the rest of us a bad rep. It's bad enough that we all carry a stigma of being hooligans who always break the law just because we ride motorcycles. So yes, it does affect the rest of us.
^^THIS!
Was riding home from work last night on the Lakeshore around 4:30pm. Ahead of me was a guy in shorts and a dallas mavs jersey on a "stickered-out" gsxr, and another guy in shorts but at least he had a jacket on, on a yellow cbr. Do not care in the slightest what they were wearing, though I was shaking my head at the shorts (pipes burn skin fast!) and lack of gloves, but they were filtering through cars during red light stops to the front of the line. Now I'm stuck behind them with a bunch of ****** off cagers. So really, do whatever, wear whatever, IDGAF, but when it affects me, I think I have the right to be a lil pissy is all.
I wouldn't call the cops though..situations like this is why god invented Darwin.
I think you might be putting a bit too much stock in how much those riders would alter people perception of you. If I see a couple squid doing something stupid while you are in gear waiting your turn with everyone else I'm going to think "look at those idiots riding like a**hats while this guy sits in traffic sweating his nuts off".
I was cut off by a civic on the 400 this morning. I didn't immediately blame the other civic beside me. Anyone unstable enough to take a run at you for something someone else did is unstable enough to do it without provocation.
When you are part of a minority and someone in the minority does something bad, human nature is to paint all the minority with the same brush. This is much of the root of prejudice.
Now most people aren't prejudiced but some are and those that have issues wil look at the negative actions of a few and use that to justify their actions.
I was chewed out at a stoplight by a guy in a pickup truck after someone else rode past us both and did some real stupid things. The driver started chewin me out saying words to the effect of "all you ******* bikers think you own the road and can do whatever you want..."
What do you think the odds of this guy giving a break to the next motorcycle rider he sees?

Only certain riders were being idiots by riding with straight pipes, in residential areas. That didn't stop the City of Montreal from banning all motorcycles from some streets.
Funny thing; people always seem to remember the bad, but not the good.

Exactly! ^^
I was riding with a friend and we were stopped at a light when 2 SS bikes went flying through the green light at a very high rate of speed and they were very very loud. I'm pretty sure one hit the rev limiter.
Our light turned green we made a left in the same direction Perdosa and Rossi were going. 2 Mins later we got pulled over. Someone reported 2 bikes racing.
Luckily the 2nd cop that arrived was cool and he knew bikes. He recognized we weren't the same bikes that were racing and were released.
What you do and how you act can have negative repercussions....so don't be a d-bag.
This. Buddy and I got pulled over by OPP doing the speed limit. They said they had complaints of 2 sport bikes racing on the 401. They checked our info and all that and finally let us go, but what a waste of time.
QUE?Some Gixxer squid on Colombus attempting some crazy lane splitting.
Latino looking rider, i haven't seen many of your type in Brooklin before. Good job you had your lic plate flipped otherwise i would have called the cops.
Nice chicken strips btw. That truck almost creamed you.
