Slumgullion Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Saturday I took a quick ride to the N Ga Mtns to scuff in my new rear tire and as I was returning on the Atlanta connector (I live in dntown Atlanta) I passed 3 Sport bikes as I picked my way through heavy late afternoon traffic. Actually I didn't really pass them because they were in another lane riding with traffic, kicked back talking to each other. Anyway for some reason they took offense to my actions and one by one blew by me at a speed considerably faster than the 60mph pace of traffic. In doing so the leader entered my lane and all were weaving in and out crossing over all 6 lanes. Within less than a mile they exited I 20 while I got off at the next exit. Now finally my question: What is the universal sign for derision that old BMW guys can flash to young bucks indicating SO? I admit my competitive juices began to flow but wisdom prevailed or maybe it was my lack of testosterone! Link to comment

j4bberw0ck Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I suppose you could always try "spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" - just copy your local priest / rabbi / minister / whatever. If they ride like lunatics and try to carve up other bikes, they'll likely have an appointment with someone doing it for them at some stage. Link to comment

PRC Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I tend to chuckle when I see it. I do this because I feel sorry that they were cheated at birth and have to make up for their lack of, umm, well, uh, you know..."manliness." When I work, well, I chuckle because I'll help them get to make a "contribution." Link to comment
Slumgullion Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 So my gift to them was they got to feel 'manly' at least for a minute! Its good they didn't see my grey hair that might have taken a little edge off the good feelin'!!! Link to comment
