Rockers vs. Mods 2010

[muskrat]

I'd like to see him on that 50 running down I30.  shit if he tries that I'll bring the Vespa down the tollway.

So ...uh... what are you planning to ride to this shindig? the ST4s or the Scarabeo?

Well, 35 miles on the Scarabeo is a bit much since I would also have to return or stay at the Belmont. It's going to RED! I'm also more a Rocker than a Mod at heart.  See you there?

[Frisco]

I hate snobs who are posers on a bike!  No Harleys allowed?   
I will go on my Harley and ride up and down the street just to piss everyone off......yes I'm also in a bad mood but never havv I attended a so called rally where they exclude bikes.   

I've been turned down from entering a HOG rally in Oklahoma because I wasn't on a Harley or a member of the HOG club - don't get me started on the number of Harley snobs out there. I like to piss them off and then outrun them - get that big motor kit yet to keep up?

the way you're riding lately it wont be hard to catch you.  You look drunk out there lately. 

as for the HOG rallies, well it's a members club only, ONE which I don't belong to and that's the ONLY exclusive rally I've seen but at least they pay dues and so on (dumb in my opinion since riding is about freedom to me).  I work for a living and deal with politics daily, I don't need my hobby to have the same crap in it.  PRIVATE club Mr. Frisco.

no offense here but i don't typically think of a nice and shiny red 999 as a "rocker" bike... i mean, i guess it's possible, but just always kind of thought of rocker as dirty old cafe bikes.  i'm neither so i really don't fit into either crowd.

Rich, I know you, you're just like the rest of here.  A middle-class homeowner who works for living and pays exhorbitant taxes. If you will, the so-called 'Ton Ups', Rockers or whatever one wishes to call them are just like us. I mean, come on, for a group to put on an event that invites Itallian SCOOTERS! for crying out loud has a tremendous since of humour I think. They go through the motions of a 'club' but in the end it's the same interest we all have about the facination of the motorcycle and what it means individually to us all. Come on come all is the message.

For instance at last years Lee Harvey party on Saturday I witnessed a hoard of BMWs, and some really nice HDs. You will see Nortons and Triumphs of years ago but there were also several nice Ducs. Surprisingly there weren't that many cafe racers. I do know that Stuart is building one hell of wicked concoction that he plans on riding over that I personally can't wait to see. I think seeing the DFWMers at this event would really be cool. JMTC

BTW, have you been riding your bike into work lately? I keep hearing a very loud Duc resonating down Elm St. west bound @ about 8am every nice morning.

[muskrat]

IMO who gives a crap as long as you belong to the two-wheeled dream that is freedom.  I'm not taking a stand with anyone just offering up my opinion, like it or not. 

Sadly I will be out of town at an "ALL BIKES WELCOME" rally this very weekend in Louisiana.

Try riding a japanese bike at an AMS event.  I have no problem with that.  Why would you take a child molester van to a lambo event?

[muskrat]

He did and has time and time again.  His bike was a casualty this time last year when the moron drove into the droves of bikes out front.  He drank the cool aid but refuses to commit.

nah, not me... i take the bus.  might be that black 1098 that i see many days that parks in the adolphus parking garage along commerce (next to walt garrison/rodeo bar).  i've met the guy at jason's deli before; he seemed pretty cool but didn't sound very interested in our little "group"

[muskrat]

here's the email from the event organizer:

"Yep. Harley's have a rally every 3 days. Plus the mods/rockers thing
is specific to the Brighton Riots in the early sixties. I'm sorry if
offends but we're planning a mods and hogs event, if that's any
consolation."

It's obvious he doesn't know that there's only ONE sponsored rally for Harley's and that's the HOG group which no one belongs to anymore because of the BS and politics.    Anyway, just starting shit and soliciting a response; I know you're surprised right?

Before you start in on a history lesson I know what the Brighton Riots were about.    Lastly, I told him I owned all types of bikes but I still think it's stupid to host an event at local bars and limit participation. 

  ok done.  Besides, I'm out of town that weekend so you guys have fun.

He has to have Termis. That sucker is loud!
Yeah, riding into work on the bike in downtown is not something I like to do but on occsaion half to do. I've almost been taken out on several occasions by the F*&kn bus driver idiots as well as the taxi cab driving idiots.

[RED]

Just for you skrat, maybe we can stage our own RvM rally at a Dallas Triumph dealer then ride to Stokers? on our scooters. That way we can encompass all venues and all motos. ok? No electric sidewalk scooters allowed though!

[greenohawk69]

  Yeah but would you go to a Harley rally on sportbike? 

Maybe that's what Mods v Rockers needs to do;  "All Bikes Welcome (but don't be a goober and turn up on the wrong $#%^ing bike...)" 

Yes and have, ROT for one.  No problems.     I'm in the all bikes welcome group.
