Hurr, secret clubb!

this board proves otherwise

Where's the proof? Did I miss the thread of secret spy photos of manual drivers waving at each other?

>China
That's vietnam bro. Chinese hate motorcycles.

My bad, they all look alike

In America there's no practical benefit to bikes. People only ride them because they like bikes. When cars outnumber bikes 100:1 it's nice to see people who share your interest.

I don't get it, it's just a wave.
They have something in common and some sense of camaraderie because of it, why you gotta be so autistic about it?

>there's no practical benefit to bikes.
Lane splitting

Here's something to trigger your 'tism:
Sometimes I'll even join someone or the group they're in on a ride, spontaneously.
Woah.

>crash your car in rush hour
>no one stops to help

>crash your bike in rush hour
>any biker stops to help
>probably talk about the bike bikes they had rode while your cabbaged on the road while knee is dislocated

The secret clubs are great!

I think the worst people are the cruiser riders who don't respect the sportbike riders, and vice versa.
Showing a sign of respect and friendliness is nothing to get upset over.

I think people rush to help crashed motorcyclists more because there's a much higher chance of serious injury.

not applicable in most of the US

It is if you're not a pussy.

only legal in California. though i'm sure the democrats will get around to banning that the first time a lane splitter is implicated in the cause of a major traffic accident. because those fags hate the idea of fun, freedom, and personal responsibility.

can't even go to the fucking beach with out a state mandated sign warning you about cancer from the sun, the air, and a billion different things.

>i drive a bmw gs: the post

>it's an "user insists on being an antisocial sperglord with a completely unfounded sense of superiority" episode

This.

It's just a wave, who gives a fuck.

>it's just an earing
>it's just a club where there aren't any women
>it's just practicing kissing
>it's just messing around with your friend
>it's just to get tax breaks
>it's just easier OKAY?
>STOP JUDGING ME
>WHERE ARE MY FREE HORMONES AND SURGERIES
>REEEEEEEEEE IM A GIRL LET ME USE THE GIRL'S ROOM

This is only true if you act like a fedora lord about driving manual, like literally everyone on Veeky Forums.

It's too bad your mom won't let you get a bike

>he lets a sign tell him what to do
>the sign offended him
goddamn you really are a pussy. You belong in this state

What the fuck is wrong with you

You must be fun at parties

Middle school can be tough for some people. Sucks not having friends or a hobby.

I hear sucking is a good hobby.
*flashes secret code*
Party is in
>the usual spot :3

>le edgy hardcore bro!
swag yolo AF 100 blaze it, double tap, my dude!

wow you really are a pussy. You got upset by a sign and a post

Subaru wave is even fucking gayer.

You know you're scraping the bottom when you have to use that argument.

Nothing special about being a cager.

>implying Veeky Forums is one person
Sorry faggot, I just saw your 13 year old level post and cringed so hard I got an eye cramp.

>banning lane splitting
They just passed the law last year making it legal since it was always a gray area.

...

>getting offended for him
wow you really are a pussy.

>pussy insult again
yyaawwnnnnn. 13 year old confirmed. Wanna do a monster energy together bro?

>cager
You organ donors are funny

Seek help.

dont worry op, i was never a part of anything either

>'okay every car manufacturer must now put in air bags and must build the frame in such a way that it's safe in a crash!'
>but sir, what about motorcycles?
>'oh, theyre plenty safe. they get a pass'
?????????????????????? what were they thinking? what in the fucking world? how are motorcycles even legal?

Shhh, don't say those things out loud

>and cringe internally whenever someone shoots me one.

I cringe at the fact you can't make simple social gesture with out getting autistic about it.

Its one of those things that got grandfathered in simply becuase it would've been too much trouble to ban after the fact.

Kind of like cigarettes or alcohol.

i do this in my own special way
>be me
>on my 80s jap sportbike
>wait until last second possible
>aggressively shoot my arm out to wave
>kek as other rider awkwardly try to salvage the wave
works everytiem, most of the time

>see stupid shit on 4chains
>remember that most people posting are actually underage and dont even drive vehicles

Whenever I see bikers do this I cringe hard. It looks so gay.

The jeep wave is worse though.

I'll give them a nod if they're some stranger, but if I know them I'll give them a wave.

Motorcycle vlogs were a mistake.

>In America there's no practical benefit to bikes.

Besides the greater mileage, portability and otherwise cheapest way to travel.

people of similar cars do if they are on the rarer side.

When i was daily driving my saab 900 we would freak the fuck out when we saw each other

When i drove both a 240z and a 280zx we would wave.

What the fuck does this have to do with motorcycle vlogs?

No, a government should only make it illegal to hurt others, not yourself. Stupid fucking liberal who can't trust himself not to kill himself so he needs daddy government to do it for him.

but if a company sells a dangerous product they are hurting their customers

Only if the product is operated incorrectly and in an unsafe manner.

The customer is well aware of the risk when buying it.
I think junkies are degenerates who deserve whatever fate they get, but I think heroine and other narcotics should be legally available to anyone of a legal age.
Just have the same aggressive anti-marketing as cigarettes.
Let people make their own mistakes.

I like to say hello to other riders, it's always fun to enjoy à nice sunny day in the twisties and meeting someone that share your hobbies, and they always sign back.
And i ride a gs.
Come and stop me faggot.

>products never cause the user harm
>companies never lie about the danger of their products
wish I could live in your world

>Implying we don't know.
I'm sure most motorcyclists are at least somewhat suicidal, or at least comfortable with the idea of death.
Cigarettes are legally required to state that they will fucking kill you in the US. Advertising of cigarettes is banned outside of gas stations and liquor stores. This is fine government intervention. They still let you buy them.
I'd be fine with constant PSAs of "Don't ride motorcycles, you'll fucking die", as long as they stay off the actual regulations.
(although prices will go up so please don't do that, gov)

Last I checked tobacco companies aren't allowed to lie to consumers anymore.

FUCK off satan!!!

Can you not read?
I said it would need anti-marketing.

And the fun ofc

If you're dumb enough to get tricked by a company then you deserve whatever comes your way.

my argument wasn't that anything should or should not be banned, rather that
>a government should only make it illegal to hurt others
is a meaningless statement as anything that causes harm can be attributed to someone else (other than suicide etc). In an attempt to limit gov control you have made it unlimited.

sepereate point but my sarcastic response to is
>wew that's good, no company will ever lie about the dangers of a product from here to the end of time.

what device did you post this with?

PC I built (with parts from companies)
What is your point? I know nothing bad will come my way because of my purchases. If my graphics card comes alive and ends up killing me then I guess I'm just too stupid to live.
(The more realistic point to make would be if someone bought a really shitty power supply from ebay and then died to electrocution then they deserved to die)

Ok then, go back to your socialist shithole and leave the free people alone.
Individual freedoms > any common sense

>with parts from companies
oh I see,
I assume you tested each of these components electrically to make sure there were no dangerous shorts?
I assume you know every chemical used in the manufacturing process and its toxicity?
I assume you tested how every component in different temperatures and humidities and know how it responds?
I assume you disinfected every component encase it was carrying disease from the place of manufacturing?

or did you perhaps just trust the government body in your area to regulate the goods that you are able to purchase to do all that for you?

even if you did, no one knows everything or has the equipment to inform them self, how can you "know" what is in medicine or food?

buyer beware dose not work and never has.

>or did you perhaps just trust the government body in your area to regulate the goods that you are able to purchase to do all that for you?
Neither. I trust in the free market to reasonably discern which products are garbage, and I buy the products that have been determined not to be garbage. Are you slow or something?

so none of the products have been approved by the FCC or Conformité Européene?

We're getting way off base, and the other guy is right.
My point still stands. You should be allowed to hurt yourself but not others.
Motorcycles are dangerous to the user, but what has a much higher potential for injury to people other than the user? Cars.
Regulating motorcycles is stupid and pointless. I hate the idea that I'm forced to wear a helmet, but I do so anyway, as well as full riding gear, all on my own free will.
Idiots like me who ride and idiots who don't wear gear when they ride deserve whatever happens to us.

>You should be allowed to hurt yourself but not others

read

I read it, and it was stupid.

in what way

So what if they have been? My point stands, those committees could just not exist and it wouldn't matter. The free market would determine my purchase.

because you can't sell products without them in those markets. So your claim that "the free market" sorted out the safest products was not accurate. You were not given the option to buy unsafe products.

>When i was daily driving my saab 900 we would freak the fuck out when we saw each other

Seems like all Saab owners are spergs.

You say that but there's a Miata wave too. At least the enthusiast vehicles make sense to wave at one another with, but the Jeep wave is just stupid. Wranglers are for 16 year old girls so they kill whoever they smash into while they're texting and driving, instead of racking up lawsuits for Daddy.

What was written under that bad Photoshop?

>Chinese hate motorcycles
Why?

>Chinese hate motorcycles
No they don't. Any affordable motorcycle in Britain was built by chinks.

I literally wave at other bikers sometimes. As in, raised hand and wiggling it side-to-side with all fingers extended.

>being mad because people wave to each other
How fucking autistic are you?

Look, there's literally nothing wrong with being gay.

...

>Any affordable motorcycle in Britain was built by chinks

which only idiots buy because a second hand jap bike is cheaper and better. even an abused RS-125 is a more dependable option

>can't afford any of them regardless

I see you live in the city, Wranglers are enthusiast vehicles. Granted I'm about an hour away from Moab.

It's more like: "I'll pull you out of a ditch if you wreck, please do the same for me"

Wheres the man, Giantsley?

Goldwings have airbags
