After a long day of riding, I stop by a local Shell gas station to fill up. It is located at Higgins right behind Voodoo by Woodfield in Schaumburg. I see two R1's, a blue one and a red one in the midst of a few gixxers, a tl, a cbr1000rr a cbr600rr and a few other bikes. The guy on the Red one was bald and was riding a girl. Both riders had no helmets and no gear what so ever. I ask the guy on the red one how he liked it, and he was pretty cool about it.
The other guy on the blue R1 left the gas station when I left with my girlfriend. He seemed to leave his whole group behind. He pulled up behind me in a left turn lane and this is where the arrogance started. I asked him if he had ever ridden an '02 R1 like mine. He said, "No, but this one is better than yours" :finger That response shocked me (note that this one still had temporary plates and he had no gear on) because it was so blunt(I know it's true, but that response was uncalled for). I asked him if he could wheelie it, and he proceeded to brag that he held one for 1/2 a mile today. We were turning left onto a Highway, so I asked him to show me (My intentions were to call his bluff and show him a real 1/2 Mile standup...squiddy I know, but it would have been fun to show this guy up). He responds by saying that he has to wait for his guys and can't show me, but he left them 1/2 mile away! What bull.
So my response to him, I am calling you out brother. You give a bad name to motorcyclist community and the brotherhood. Anyone who knows of this group of riders, please PM me. I think he was of Greek, Russian, or Polish descent. I challenge him to show me his bike is "better" than my bike with HIS @SS on the seat. I will drag race him and I will show him how to take turns. I will not race for top speed because I know the '04 will shine there regardless of the rider.
Let the flaming begin because I know this is completely extensive, immature, and dangerous. I am taking it this far because I'm fed up with all the non-helmet, speeding 150mph in traffic, buying '04 liter bikes as first motorcycles for the sake of B!TCHES and @SS, nonsense.
To every man, his own, whether it be buying a bike for poser purposes, or to prep it for nesba races, but if you are putting yourself, other riders, and the passengers you ride in danger, and when you talk to me like you are a better man because you ride the cutting edge in motorcycles, I will have a word with you and you better be able to back your words with some actions and skills.
PM me if you have any information on this prick.
