Haters gonna Hate

[Cheb]

Grrrr ...

First time out with the new trike and my beloved when some uneducated, redneck, hillbilly, 30-something kid in Aberdeen, WA driving a white POS yells at us that "If you can't ride two-wheels safely you should not be riding at all." Eff'n hater. My lady did give him the quick one finger salute.

Not a good experience for my wife and I on our first 130 mile trikein' road trip. Hope it does not impact her desire to go riding with me anymore. I can let that s#!t roll off my back, but ... Grrrr!!!

Have any of you experienced of this kind of prejudiced discrimination just 'cause you ride a trike?

Awww. I’m sorry that happened to you. People that say that kind of thing are usually disappointed in their own life so they have to put other people down. Just feel sorry for him/her and continue on with your lives. Ride on and ride safe.

WELCOME TO TRIKE TALK David!!!!!

Thank GOD that person in a member of a VERY VERY TINY group. Maybe he was just feeling a bit insecure and needed to feel important. :xszpv: :xszpv:

My experience is totally on the other end of the spectrum. I have had soooo many two wheel riders go out of their way to complement and ask questions. Sometimes its almost embarrassing and at the same time really rewarding. Please don't let people like that rob you and your wife of the riding joy and experiences. :clapping::clapping:

Welcome to Trike Talk

It looks to me as if you found some jealous folks that have pretty insecure feelings

I would not pay them no never mind

Just enjoy your ride and smile if you can

 

[ol' school]

Just enjoy your trike! Jealousy will get them no where. They don't know how much fun they are missing.

Welcome to Trike Talk,never had anyone be that nasty,but i have noticed that some other HD riders will give the low wave to the bikes in the front then pull their hands up when they get to the trikes. Don't care,until they walk in my shoes they are just being ignorant.

 

[paws]

Sticks and stones.....

Obviously he was an immature, insecure individual who needed to make himself feel macho. Just laugh, forget it, and keep on rolling friend...

 

[LadyonaMission]

This will most likely be a one time thing, so keep riding and have fun. Don't let anyone take your joy.

I've noticed that too. Riding the two-wheeler, almost everyone waves. Not so much on the trike ... hmmm. At least we are riding. I'll just keep on waving cause I like to.

Thanks everyone else for the words of encouragement. Now I'll have to convince the missus that was an isolated occurrence and start prepping for another outing. Maybe a lunch ride to Mt. Saint Helen's? That is a great ride and it seems food always put her in a better mood.

I've noticed that the closer one gets to needing a trike, the more apt they are to wave.:clapping:

I actually have customers that would insult me at bike shows in the late 90's, only to become trike customers 10 years later.:laugh:

OUCH

 

[Pooch]

I noticed I've had more 2 wheelers wave to me on my Endeavor than before on my 2 wheeler. Don't know if it's because maybe they never seen one. I wave, you wave, you don't wave I don't care cuz I'm still enjoying the ride.

Welcome aboard, Cheb and enjoy the ride! That negative comment came from an idiot. Don't let it spoil your fun. I have had a few but have had FAR more positives. Just yesterday, wifey & I were stopped at a bakery and 2 different people came up and asked about the trike. Today at a gas stop a guy with a two wheeler asked about how my trike is to ride. We talked for a good 10 minutes, his knees are starting to bother and he will retire soon and wants to tour long distance with his wife as a passenger. I was happy to answer all their questions. These times more than make up for the a-hole comments of an idiot!

 

[chaschargois]

not smart

Not a smart thing to do...yell at someone on a trike....you might get shot.
