[@taylorthompson2073]

I started on a R3 and now ride a SV650S. Whenever I come to any kind of intersection where there is a car that could have pulled out on me but they didn't I always try to give them a wave. I obviously want to thank them for seeing me and waiting but I also hope to give them a nice perception on motorcyclist. Maybe they did have a squid on the highway cut them off while weaving at 120mph through traffic, but I hope that they will also remember the nice motorcyclist who gave them a wave for stopping and waiting and they'll be more open minded to those who ride

[@tonymartinez7205]

My advice to other motorcycle riders: Get proper motorcycle training, get proper gear, get a bike that fits you best, ride below your motorcycle ridding skills, Observe, analyze, execute with high precision and most importantly stay away from cars all the time.

[@richardmeyerowitz6054]

Mostly it can be said that any subculture within society gets up the nose of another. I’m a cyclist in the UK, believe me, at least as a motorcycle rider I get the odd person who realizes I am not only going to work like everyone else but also taking up less space and therefore making other peoples life easier. As soon as I jump on my bicycle I am all of a sudden dehumanized and unanimously disrespected by other road users just for being there.

[@doghous3]

subcultures! Yup. Even in push-bike circles. I used to x-country/downhill a lot and would get sneered at by roadies (cyclists) when I was on the road with my hardtail mtb. As for motorbikes, I think most normies think of them as widow-makers. Heh.

[@duhbullb]

As a newer rider, it was the gatekeepers that were my worry. Like many hobbies they are the clear minority, but that small group is loud. The nicest people I have met this year were on bikes, but also the biggest douchebags I met this year were also on bikes.

[@ajc-ff5cm]

It depends. People will think what they want to think. If you drive a big truck, people can and do perceive you differently depending on where you are. In Texas and Oklahoma it’s pretty much expected. In big and dense coastal cities, you can be get perceived as a redneck country bumpkin. With bikes, I think it depends more on how you carry yourself. In today’s culture, the squid without gear riding 2-3 times the speed limit and getting angry at the car pulling out in front at no risk to them is remembered more than the guy riding invisible.

[@ShivaShakur]

It's like every day I hear someone make a rude comment about how some dude driving a truck must have a small pee pee. Then in the next breath they'll say they support body positivity and think shaming people based on how they're born is wrong. People are terrible at examining their own biases and recognizing their hypocrisy. Most are "sheep" unfortunately, ignorant, surface-level intelligent, and/or extremely cognitively imbalanced or dissonant (figuratively myopic, intellectually strong in logic but only barely able to create or recognize social cues, or vice versa)

[@shawnclarke7]

I have always liked this opinion I once heard regarding driving that said "isn't it funny how everyone driving slower than you is an asshole and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac?" I think this translates in many different aspects of not only driving/riding but almost everything. If I see someone speeding (not even crazy fast) or aggressively moving through traffic, I tend to think WTF are they doing? But then that might be me and any other given day. I think this "bad behavior" is normal for enthusiasts whether it is cars, trucks or bikes, but in North America since bikes are not a common form of commuter transportation it means most motorcyclists are also enthusiasts which means there is a higher percentage of them "doing bad things" by why we are all judged.

There is definitely a perception out there that people who ride motorcycles are in some way “not normal”. What is funny is the response from some people when they see that “normal” people do ride, and in the case of a group I ride with, we’re all health care professionals. When we meet “normal” folks on a ride and they find out the group riding are doctors, nurses and health care executives, the look on their face is priceless. They truly have a hard time processing it….

it's funny because I keep seeing videos by yammie and chase talking about trying to minimize your time near cars, meanwhile when I see someone on a bike I try to "get away" from them either by going faster or giving a ton of space because I don't want to be near them if they make a mistake or something happens. really helpful to learn this stuff though. maybe in 5 years I'll get around to getting my first motorcycle.

The last two times I got pulled over by law enforcement, the very first thing they said to me was "thanks for stopping". Since when has it become optional, not to pull over, when prompted to do so by the proper authorities. (of course, asking for a friend)

[@Kenneth_Rogers]

It not that it became "optional", it's that most squids on supersport bikes ran and either go away or got un-alived. I once got busted doing 80 in a 55 on my R1. Sheriff deputy saw me and flashed his lights. I pulled over, took off my helmet and waited a solid 2 minutes for him to come. The look of relief on his face was priceless. He thanked me for stopping and I said "You got me fair and square." His biggest concern wasn't me violating the speed limit, it was my safety due to risk of crashing being higher and that's why he thanked me.

Every time I ride or go to my dealer to get maintenance done there’s always a rider saying ride safe. I like that. It’s like this instant connection that we have. I’ve met some harley guys that get enthusiastic about the younger generation becoming riders. Their main concern is how some people go over 100 and might not make it because of the possibility of one simple mistake could end it all. I know my honda navi is technically a scooter but I get a lot of compliments on it and it helped me with the basics such as counter steering and throttle control.

[@John_Ridley]

I was a bit bugged by some specific dirt bike riders a few years ago. A couple of kids of a family that owned the gas station down the road from me, the family owned a whole strip of land, the kids decided they wanted to do dirt bikes, so the family rented a Bobcat and made a track for the kids. I mean that's friggin' awesome right? Except the kids were on the track ALL THE TIME, like 12 hours a day, every day, all summer, like 500 feet from my house. It was even more irritating than the HD crowd riding along the scenic road that our house is up against (sometimes almost 100 bikes in a pack taking minutes to go by)

I am 56. I have been riding since I was 14, so people have always seen me as an outsider. I do not consider myself an average rider.

Speed limit in Ireland is 120kmph. Any biker not wearing gear (boots, trousers, jacket, gloves , helmet) are very much looked down on and considered an idiot. Lane splitting is allowed here but much be done cautiously. You’ll absolutely be pulled over by police if you’re flying it, however. There are restrictions here on power output of the bike depending on your age. You’ve also to complete a minimal training period. Once you’re over 24 the limits are lifted. 24 is usually the age people ‘wake up’ a little and take less chances.

Agree with much of what’s been said here. I ride responsibly most of the time, ATGATT, a Kawasaki Z900RS and an MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR. Complete nerd who loved tinkering with mechanical things since I was 3 years old. Also own a bunch of fun German cars. And no tattoos. Happy in my enthusiast worlds.

The funny thing is people love to see my v30 magna, I have never been harassed or had people be apauled to be in the presence of my bike, but I live in a small town in north Texas I think is has to do with the area that you ride/live in.
