It's suddenly warm and sunny and all you ladies big girls blouses over sensitive politically correct wankers sheilas princesses that can't ride if your fingers get a little chilly are suddenly hitting the road again and camping in the split like you own it.

You have mirrors, check them. Like, once in a while. Just more than never.

If I'm shoved up your ass, please move over. Don't split faster. If I caught up to you, it's because you weren't comfortable splitting faster and I don't want you to crash. Just move over.

It took two posts before the BARF sensitivity police commented about the "ladies" part of the post. What's happening BARF?!? You're getting soft! Usually the OMG OMG OMG reaction would be the first response!

Could it be, could it just be that BARF is lightening up a little and regaining it's sense of humor? Say it ain't so!!!!

It only took two more posts for the sensitivity of the OP to come out when one of the ladies around here called him out for being soft.

Sometimes, around here, being told you ride like a girl is a complement.

No wonder people think this place sucks now. No one can make a joke or say something tongue in cheek without some social justice moment. ��

“Lady” was a bad choice of word. Someone please supply me with a good word to describe fair weather riders that complain when their little fingy wingies are getting coldy woldy.

I see a woman riding to work on dressed in pink highlight adv gear, I’m not sure what she’s riding, I think a vstrom and she’s out there all year round, rain or shine, and I call her a badass in my mind. And she checks her mirrors and waves me by every time. Like a lady. So thanks for that whoever you are. You’re awesome.

oh Yeah. That’s much better.

Word choices.

You’ll have to forgive me, ladies, In Australia calling someone a lady is a real insult. Women much prefer being called woman. Or mate. Never Sheila tho. They fkn hate that.

I’m still getting the hang of speaking in yank.

I don't think AJ rides like that on the freeway.:teeth
At least I hope not.:ride:wow.

Personally I have seen many fast splitters out there lately.... I mean real fast.

Whammy does watch his mirrors, and will yield to those splitting like they have to poop real bad.:rofl
FYI I did upgrade my gear to accommodate the colder weather :teeth:thumbup

I'm a year round all weather commuter on my FZ07. I come up on someone and then after checking their mirrors they speed up instead of moving over. It's normally guys on 600s with just a helmet and maybe gloves. I had one that I passed and after they realized I was a lady they cut over from the carpool lane to the far right and zipped ahead then back to the carpool lane, where I caught them and they sat in my way again.

Infuriating. I’ve had this happen too though usually they decide that a tiger front wheel shoved right up their ass is uncomfortable.

I think I see worse riding behavior in general by people with jackets and no gloves than people with gloves and no jacket

Riding that way will get you brake checked sooner or later... (tiger tires up the behind) remember this is California.
Its a whole nother type of crazy.:wtf
Not everyone has the good sense of humor.
Patience or poop.:thumbup

Yeah I’ve definitely noticed at this time of year you get a wave of this type and then they disappear after a few months.

Gotta sell the bike to pay the hospital bills?. Silver lining of lack of national healthcare? Hmm.
