The world's largest costume party.
Is not an expression of individuality or freedom, its a demonstration of being ill-mannered while screaming “get offa my lawn”
Really the "Sturgis Warriors" tow their bikes to a park on trailers? Do you actually believe what you are writing? Do you expect us to? Some of us know better. The disdain the MOA collective feels for the HD crowd is disgusting. You somehow believe you hold yourself to be a higher level, more enlightened motorcyclist, but then resort to 3rd grade style name calling.
How about this....I was at the nerdy, old f*ck convention in TN this year -feel good?
Every time I visit this forum or the FB page I am reminded why I have quit this 5hit show numerous times.
Makes me embarrassed to be associated with YOU people.

I camped twice in Yellowstone during the Sturgis rally and I expressed what I saw on both occasions. Numerous trailers with HDs sitting beside them, groups of bikes, with many running straight pipes, riders wearing shorts, wife beater shirts and cruising at 10 MPH under the speed limit. They ruined the Yellowstone experience for others; those are the facts.
“Sturgis Warriors” is, I believe, an apt description of the riders I’ve seen in Sturgis or passing through my home area on their way to and from the rally. They may be wealthy and accomplished people, but when it comes to motorcycles they are dilettantes.
In my original post I never mentioned a particular brand of bike, but since you assumed I was describing HDs you must realize that the riders of that brand are most likely to behave in such a boorish fashion. I’m glad we agree on something... or does my description of these riders hit too close to home? Maybe you should be embarrassed if you embrace the behavior I described.
But, when someone intentionally chooses to degrade my environment with their noise that's an act of aggression and hostility. From the same perspective that we would not tolerate someone urinating in our water well or burning trash next to our homes, it's incredible that a sub-group of the motoring public demands acceptance of their boorish behavior. It's not an expression of individuality or freedom, its a demonstration of being ill-mannered.
It was an orchestra bassist that first enlightened me to riding with earplugs. Apparently, protecting your hearing during your youth extends your musical career.
All the earplugs, all the time!
It was very carefully explained in a letter from a BMW rider in letters to the editor of a Harley type magazine. So I quote, "We are all alike. But you guys dress like pirates and we dress like Armadillos." That deserves a and a but not a because it is so true.
All the earplugs, all the time!
Probably not realistic to ask all of the citizens in Paris to wear ear plugs. Squelching a few thousand noisy scooters would work better.
