No so much moto, but I hate the old fuck up the road that rides his Harley past my place on Sunday mornings @ 6am bliping the throttle and making as much noise as possible. (including the radio!) Radio's on motorcycles? WTF?

Sooooo tempted to ride the YZ up to his place and unleash the 2 stroke on his lawn. grrrrrrrrrrr

It really grinds my gears when I'm low on oil and don't use the clutch Tongue

Sandbaggers

Moto dads that scream at their kids to go do certain jumps when the freakin dad has no clue on how to ride the bike in the first place.

D riders that have a pro setup with 4 different bikes, a mod and stock 250, a practice bike and a mod 450

Quads

Cross jumpers

Young kids that try block passing or try taking out your front wheel in practice or on a practice day. Look kids I'm 6'2 and 205lbs, me coming back at you is like Bowers going after Webb. I suggest you stop! Wink

Well, at 54 years old I've probably devolved into a D rider after 40 years of riding/racing. I make no apologies for having a stock 250, a modified 250, and a modded 450 (full Ohlins setup, which I guess makes me some sort of super a**hole). I enjoy working on and modding my bikes almost as much as I enjoy riding (which I do every week, weather permitting). I'm not sure why how I choose to spend my money negatively affects anyone else, but to each, his own, I guess. I do run a very modest moto van setup, so perhaps that offsets the whole multiple bike offense.
Lol no no, you're in the clear! You've paid your dues. I should have been a little more clear with the "D riders with a pro setup." I mean the 14-25 year old kid that can barely run midpack D class at a local race yet has 4 bikes that are more modded than the A and B riders bikes lol.

I absolutely hate it when someone throws his bike down after winning a race. Maybe I'm just sore because I've rarely had that opportunity haha

I had this happen over the weekend. Multiple classes together and I give a guy not in my class plenty of room to go around. He caught me, it was the last lap, it's hot as balls I don't care, go ahead. This dickweed after passing me right before a jump section proceeds to fade to the right when I left him the entire left side and that's the side he passed me on. He faded so far over I had to shut down and roll the whole section. Like WTF dude why did you need to do that? Hold your line buttlicker.

The "9/10's" of a cent on gas prices. Just call it $6.50 a gallon, not $6.49. and 9/10th's of a cent. Fuggoff with that shit.
People that sit at the intersection after the light turns green. Wake the fuck up, put the phone down and join the party.
"Healthy eating" skinny vegan type people who smoke cigarettes .
Vapors who think it's cool to blow out a vw van size plume of smoke that smells like a cross between cotton candy and a worn out skilsaw blade.
14 teller lines at the bank and never more than 2 tellers working at one time, ever.
Paying full price at self checkouts. If I'm doing the work of the check out person and bagging my own groceries give me a discount.

Wow a thread coming up that I made when I was 17 Laughing

Since everyone is replying again, I may aswell add something to this:

I know Feld doesn’t support privateers enough and that the entry fees are bullshit expensive but living in your van and riding in front of huge crowds around the country is in our eyes “living the dream” and what we would call “a once in a lifetime holiday”. So why are there pleas to the public for help and support to do it. In an ideal world each privateer would work full-time and race the rounds the 5-6 rounds they can afford.

I just don’t sympathise with these guys doing it tough as privateers especially the ones that are entering their late 20s

STACKED B Class .....3 guys in A Class

2 Stroke meatheads

People that go and practice at the track but cut the track and don't ride laps.

When Pros say I just want to have fun out there, dong take the money then.

Speaking of Australian mx, I thought I'd do a bit of racing this year. $160 I think it was to enter the Vic titles, absolutely fuck all of that. What a joke.

*may have not been 160 but I remember it being stupidly expensive*

People who talk like they are faster than they are. Don't be a poser.

People who can't say three words without a saying f@&! or some variation of it. It just makes no sense (if you think about what the word actually means and the context they are using it in, 99% of the time)...and so you know they are only saying it out of habit, which makes it worse.
Sorry man...I am that guy.Blush I joined the AF at 17. If you didn't add a "fuck" before every word...it meant there was no urgency. This fucking fucked up fucker is fucked...meant we were gonna miss a sortie if we didn't get support asap.

It's weird for me now because I work for a very friendly, polite company, but I have been a machine tech for a long time, and expletives are part of me, and that's what you might get.

To be clear I was never in the military, and thank you Plowboy for serving, but I think it's a similar vibe amongst guys who fix broken shit.
