Oh, I'm pretty sure he gets it, he strikes me as a perceptive fella. I think he was expressing shock at the projected mentality that Anachronism has given our talented, free-digit master of the road. From a few conversations with some crotch-rocketeers I've ran into, the mentality isn't too far off base.
However, I think the aforementioned trails could also apply to a situation such as this. ( No complaints if you click, you know it's bound to be bad!)

Holy bellyflop! That has got to suck. That chic seriously needed one of those gremlin bells or something Why oh why do folks ride more bike than they can handle.

Thank you. Thank you sir, for changing my world. There I was, mired in ignorance, sitting on my Stella waiting for the light to change, when you took it upon yourself to enlighten me as to the error of my ways.
It was just the forceful, graceful, and dare I say, arousing way that you approached the intersection to make your left turn, while simultaneously pulling in the clutch, flooring your bike, and giving me "the finger" (in the parlance of our time), that got my full, undivided attention and let me see the error of my ways.
The sound of your hacksaw-unmuffled engine surely let everyone within earshot know you were the man in command (don't ask, don't tell, lieutenant!), and it spoke directly to my heart. And your appearance! If only your worn leather jacket could talk and regale me with all of its stories of how your mom accidentally threw it in the washer! And your hair, that would blow so freely in the wind were it not shellacked in a few fistfuls of "product!" Who would dare to suggest head protection, because what god would dare to allow harm to befall YOU?
I have been so, so very wrong. My life is a waste, most notably the parts that involve scootering. Because, when I commute to and from work, I am failing to broadcast to everyone how cool I am, which is the only reason one should venture outside of their house. I can only dream of what I could have done with my life if it was nobly spent riding around on my hacked up, dropped sportbike, bragging about the "bitches" leaving "snail trails" on my back seat, while demonstrating how "hacksawed pipes save lives."
My only true regret is that, no matter how hard I try, I can never truly BE you. I will always come up short in my quest to live up to your standards.
I yearn for you.
Sincerely Yours.
Yeah, that definitely sucks!
There are a lot of motorcyclists in general that try and show off their 'power'! I think a lot of it comes with maturity, but there are exceptions to every rule!

AHHH, I CAN FEEL THE POSI-MOJO VYBEZ!!!
Let's see...so far, I've gotten a beer can thrown at me from a car when I was riding home from the Rabble Rousers rally; a plastic soda bottle, a handful of rocks, and an egg (on Mischief Night) tossed at me by some little darlings, a cigarette butt from a dude in a truck, and fruit. At least, I think it was fruit...they missed.

I'm now accepting donations of used spark plugs.
NOT while riding, but I've had soiled diapers thrown out of car windows at me!!

I was hoping you, or anyone else local, could tell me! I simply don't get it.
It earnestly pains me to hear stories such as yours. I mean, who are these hateful people? It's a real shame that folks need to act this way! While only clocking about 30 miles on my wifes Buddy, I'm an avid motorcyclist and live/ride in Philly. Fortunately, I've never had this sort of problem and I hope you won't encounter it again!
Why oh why do folks ride more bike than they can handle.
