As for riding, I wouldn't mind riding with these so called Misfits, shit I'm a newbie myself. I remember I PM'd a guy that posted a ride and told him how many miles I had and if he thought I would be able to ride this ride. He told me that it wasn't a newbie friendly ride and my bike (Honda Shadow 750) wasn't meant to ride a ride like this, he thanked me for asking before I came out. To me I respect a rider like that, I don't mind being told that a ride isnt for me and my bike, because to be honest not every ride is for every rider and I understand that. Just my 2cents.....

Ride Safe all.....

are you freaking kidding me? It's not what you ride it's how you ride it that counts. I betcha a skilled rider on a Shadow 750 can smoke the average leather clad, puck strutting, ego heavy, butt wipe poser on here. Just saying.
Can't think of a single thing a Shadow can't do. :facepalm

Another example of opinions and assholes...

Did you watch the video? He poked good fun at us all in that one, mostly himself.

I don't know the Koi you know, but I know he has a very wicked sense of humor. While not everybody's cup of tea all the time, (at times includes me) I would NEVER accuse him of suffering the lack of a sense of humor!

I wasn't talking about the video you can plug your own dialog into and have it make a movie for you. I was thinking more of his comments and images before that, when he discovered not everyone thought his scout patch was an awesome idea. Hey, he wants a patch go for it. Just because someone doesn't think it's a great idea does not make them a nazi.
 
Well, folks were coming off a little high and mighty there for awhile....

+1 That Shadow is a fine bike. I'm sure I have a couple friends that could outride the person who said that on a HD Electra Glide or YSR 50.
 
We should have a cruiser sportbike twist off that would be awesome :thumbup

or bashing on their BARF tenure..

Being new to Barf doesn't mean you are a new rider. It does mean you are new to Barf.

Before asking people for money or using the Barf brand to promote your club, I think it's reasonable to sit back and get a feel of the place before making such requests. Imho I think that is, in part, why the OP is getting the grief he is. As I pointed out earlier, had he been around longer and had a better feel for how Barfers react to requests like this he wouldn't be surprised by the reaction he got. Instead he asked for opinions, didn't like some of the comments and reverted to calling people nazi's. Yes, being murderous thugs who killied millions of innocent people is exactly like disagreeing about a patch with his screen name, Barf, and his club name on it.

LOL I was thinking the samething, but hey its all good I am happy riding solo too. I won't ride where I'm not wanted!
 
you have a point about the "nazi" comment. It's odd what is offensive to some is not to others.

Totally. We have folks that go ape shit and mash the 'alert post' button when anything even close to race gets mentioned. For others it's 'nazi.' Others get totally pissed if someone 'disses' their brand of bike. We all have to do the best we can to respect each others sensitivities, especially in the General section of Barf. :thumbup

LOL! Really no application...just come on a ride..make sure you bow to the koi..kiss his ring and YOU ARE IN! We will ask for you to turn over all your worldy possessions for the greater good of the misfits of course..starting with your bike! :laughing

Come on down and ride...how is that for an application? :ride...bowing and ring kissing are optional!

PattyA - you forgot something. To ride with us, you must go home and put up The Icon in the most conspicuous place in your home. Then pray in front of it 11 times daily, for 23 minutes each time.

And, if you play your cards right, you can use it for your avatar on BARF.
 
I know of few of us so-called "misfits" got a little defensive in this thread. I apologize to anyone I ticked off, etc. But I think a lot of us were a bit insulted because there were many posts pretty much saying that we noobs, et al. didn't belong on BARF, had no right to say anything because we don't know sh*t and some of them really overreacted and got pretty nasty in the process while going all over the place and imagining stuff was said that wasn't. All people had to do was say that they didn't think it appropriate to use BARF on our silly little patch or just PM Koi or any of us for clarification and express concerns & objections.

While I don't know much at all about riding motorcycles, I'm smart enough to know how to find resources that do. BARF is the best by far in that regard. The whole idea of a misfits patch was to make fun of ourselves, not denigrate or subvert BARF. Many of us thought the patch should pay tribute & respect to the forum and its members that brought us together This is where we "misfits" communicate with each other, and with everyone else, ask questions, take advice from our "superiors," and continue to make new friends every day. The Koi thing is also a big joke, it was meant annoy the holy crap out of Koi (and still does). And fish are funny! Especially on a bike :)

Anyone is welcome to join our outings, including the breakfasts, ride with us, joke with us here on BARF or anywhere for that matter. And if folks would show up, even for an afternoon BBQ or two. Every time one of you badass riders join us for a ride, I just watch you ride (when I can see you!) and listen to you talk about riding. Our get-togethers are about no pressure, safe, fun, instructional riding for all levels. There are plenty of rides for those of you who want to be "spirited" and ride like the wind with their peers. Our rides for anyone that wants to go with no expectations from the group except what I stated above.

We don't want to be separate, we're just a subset of folks, just like those addicted to track days, or dirt, or goat roads. And while we poke fun and make jokes, we take safety and consideration for our fellow riders very seriously. And we learned that's the way to be from the OG's on BARF.
Thanks Original Gangsta's and everyone else.
