It’s hard being a smart biker. I’m not saying I’m the Stephen Hawkings of the motorcycle world, but I do think I’m one of the sharper knives in the drawer. Especially the biker drawer. It’s almost physically painful to me how dumb some of my fellow bikers are.

There’s a message board I frequent where motorcycling issues are discussed, and it’s there that I suffer the most. I can look past the knee-jerk conservative reactionary bullshit most of the time, but it pains me to have to decipher their text. These are some guys who simply should not be allowed near a keyboard. The written word is not their friend. The following is a recent post from this message board:

Catherine Zeda Jones Comercial roadi

I saw my bike on this commercial. It is for BT cellular phones. My bike is the one in the living room behind the couch with the huge looking biker on it. also in the last shot when the guy is riding the bike threw the house, mine is the one in front of the row of the bikes in the background pretty cool. I know have pictures of my bike in the film industry they paid me 500.00 doll, maybe�I can recoup some of the cost of the endless mods, Has anyone seen it? we don’t have many US stations

I swear, it hurts me to read this garbled mess, and this was one of the more literate posts. Et almos maks me knot wanto rode ennymoore.
