| Kickstand Operator ![]() | I know I will probably get shunned for this, but there are some things that motorcyclists/bikers say or do that do not make sense to me. Was just wondering how everyone else feels. here's my list of cliches that IMO, are kind of stupid. "Live to ride, ride to live." Granted, I love riding, but this just seems way too over used. "diligaf" My solution, just say it, don't make it an acronym. You will have to say it anyway when someone looks at you thinking you're talking a foreign language. "If you had to ask, you wouldn't understand." Maybe one wants to understand, that's why they asked. "Get a real bike" Ok, so I guess only HD's are real bikes. Well, if it has two wheels, an engine, a step over seat, and is street legal, what else constitutes it being real? It's really pathetic when someone without a bike has told me this. "Loud pipes save lives" Really loud pipes irritate me. Granted, it can alert other drivers of your presence, but to sit at a red light just revving so people will notice you. It's like saying "Look at me, look at me, I'm on a motorcycle and you're not." Stupid products Fake braided pony tails Grow it out or get hair extensions. Fake tattoos. If you dont' have the guts to get a real one, don't bother. You're not impressing anyone. Those really stupid tattoo shirts that are supposed to look like muscle shirts with skin colored sleeves. Read two sentances above again. Granted, these are all poser items, but there have been riders with them, and they are sold through motorcycle accessory outlets.

| Kickstand Operator ![]() | "do I look like I give a f..." I see it on coat pins that riders wear, and t shirts at dealers. Not maybe exclusive to riders, but very much embraced by it.

| Kickstand Operator ![]() | Yes, as much as I hate the dilligaf acronym, I use other acronyms in this post, but acronyms themselves is not really what I was talking about. I was talking about things that I think are idiotic centered around motorcycling.

| I went to a buddy's lake cabin last year for a party. Had to have been 100 degrees out there. Some Harley ridin "Bikers" showed up and stood around all day in their leathers. The sweat was running everywhere but they were to cool to take off the leathers. I guess they had that tough guy image to uphold.
