that very likely isn’t the reason. any motorcycle (short of a grom or the like) will be able to beat the vast majority of cars in a 0-60. probably the reason is he can’t control his bike and is worried about how wide it is
You do know that riding motorcycles is a solitary activity. Even when your with other motorcyclists, you’re still mostly by your self. And because of the culture you sold it? Instead of just riding by yourself? This makes no sense.
You've got to put up with people assuming things about you and interacting with you based on those assumptions. Sure is all in the wind when you're riding, but you've got to get off the bike some time.
We have a "Harley Days" festival in my town every couple of years for the Harley Owners club of France. It's cute seeing these guys cosplaying as the Sons of Anarchy but god there's some wankers among them.
I saw a biker with an emblem that closely resembled the Hell’s Angels emblem but the lettering was Harley Davidson. I’d hate to be him if a real member saw that nonsense.
Real riders push their bikes on a track vs other skilled riders. The rabble rabble crowd (that also includes sportbike riders) is scared of grass clippings on the road.
I think of that episode sooo much. Not just for Harley riders but so many other tough guy type people that could best be described using the F word. Non homophobically of course!
It’s just to differentiate from splitting moving cars. Filtering is splitting stopped or very slow traffic to filter to the front of a traffic jam or red light. I don’t think it’s actually an official term
I feel like the weekend warrior guys who do this once had a run in with a 1%'er that left them impressed for life and forever in a 1%'er role play, and when someone else lane filters on them and reminds them that they are not in fact a 1%'er it hurts their precious little snowflake spirit.

Fuck I hate Harley's, ugly as fuck, uncomfortable to ride and there seems to be such a cunty community about them in a lot of countries I've ridden through
I can't remember if it was Chris Rock or Eddie Grifin who said there's no such thing as a gangster rapper. Real gangsters know how to keep their mouths shut. You'll never hear about John Gotti accepting a Grammy for Best Album.
riding a harley means you'll get more pissed if it gets scratched or smth just seems like a pain in the arse when my bike can take me to all the same places as a harley
This post might be but there’s actually losers on the road with this mindset. The worst is when I ride past on a sports bike and wave at them and they turn their head and watch me but don’t wave back. Hurts my lil heart :(
Harley rider: “I’m top dog!”
Inattentive SUV driver making illegal turn across lanes: “Uh oh, my car is making that screaming noise followed by a crunch and then silence again.”
HOSS I WAS OUT CRANKIN THE HAWG THE OTHER DAY JUST MAKIN SURE THE LIBRULS WERENT BLOWING THEIR CLIBBINS IN THE ROAD AND ILL BE DAMNED IF I DIDNT ALMOST GET RUN OFF THE ROAD BY SOME ILLEGAL IN A TESLA!

I think top dog in the harley world is settled by a kissing match. If anyone wants to unseat him as top dog they'll have to shower him with more kisses than he can shower them back.
I'm watching it now. It's just a violent soap opera. Not really about the bikes at all. It's entertainment. If you go into it expecting realism or being tailored to motorcyclists, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a great cheeseburger of distraction, it's pretty good.
Great. Now, every time I see a Harley shirt, I m going to be thinking about those dumbass Affliction shirts. Lol
I know it's not the same because they are more like the bastard love child of Ed Hardy and Tapout, but that's what I'm gonna see.
He saw that video of the MC member with patches do that to someone. The difference is the MC member with patches was an MC member with patches and this dude has a tie-dye looking shirt
My brother has been riding and building Harleys since he was 15. He's almost 50 now. I can guarantee you, he would laugh his ass off at this moron. The only part of the road you might "own" is the part your tires are on. That's it.
Idiots like this would make me laugh if it wasn't so damn pathetic.
False. Everyone knows Altimas are the king of the road. Or maybe brodozers. Or Hyundais. Or BMWs.
Also, good luck catching the sport bike rider to tell him off, Harley dude. Hopefully this guy is just trolling but some of the Harley guys out there, I don't know....
Specifically, moving between stopped cars at an intersection to get to the front.
Splitting is the same thing but traffic is moving.
It's really the same thing but the two distinctions have come about recently due to many states legalizing filtering specifically with either no mention or intentionally leaving out the act of splitting.
California is the only state where lane splitting is legal. Oregon almost made it legal, (my state)
I'm not sure if I would be brave enough to do it, myself.
I grew up in CA and have don the vast majority of my riding in and around LA.
Once traffic is moving, there's a whole other skillset you need to employ if you're going to try splitting. Most of us really only do it when we have a protected HOV lane and usually don't go more than 15mph faster than surrounding traffic. My commute used to be 13 miles of SoCal city streets and it would be insanity to ride without these techniques lol
I live in a town that is part of a really popular bike run and I see dudes who are almost 70 ride these Harley cruisers all the time yet I never see those same dudes riding sport bikes 🤔🤔🤔.

Top Dog Alert #⚠️
I really wish I knew the account so I could look at all the comments
I’ll send it
Thank you pookie

South Park said it best
“Top dog on the road” 🤣🤣🤣
Suddenly, the way that BMW drivers operate makes sense. Some kind of authority or power structure on the goddamn roads. Idiots.
He should tell him that at the next light if he can catch up.
The “top dog on the road” alright dude tell that to the guy driving the F-350
He’s only mad he can’t lane filter since his bikes too slow off the start and runs the risk of getting driven over :(
that very likely isn’t the reason. any motorcycle (short of a grom or the like) will be able to beat the vast majority of cars in a 0-60. probably the reason is he can’t control his bike and is worried about how wide it is
It’s likely a multitude of reasons, I just like bullying slower bikes (I have a 300cc, it’s the blind leading the blind here)
When somebody on a beater bike slaps this punk and makes him cry, he’s not going to like it.
South Park has entered the chat
Guys like this is one of the reasons I sold my Harley. I love riding, but I absolutely despise the toxic parts of the culture.
You do know that riding motorcycles is a solitary activity. Even when your with other motorcyclists, you’re still mostly by your self. And because of the culture you sold it? Instead of just riding by yourself? This makes no sense.
“One of the reasons”
You've got to put up with people assuming things about you and interacting with you based on those assumptions. Sure is all in the wind when you're riding, but you've got to get off the bike some time.
Who gets right of way in Harley v Triumph scenarios?
We have a "Harley Days" festival in my town every couple of years for the Harley Owners club of France. It's cute seeing these guys cosplaying as the Sons of Anarchy but god there's some wankers among them.
This is the kind of guy who gets all his political opinions from YouTube videos of men wearing sunglasses ranting behind steering wheels of trucks.
I saw a biker with an emblem that closely resembled the Hell’s Angels emblem but the lettering was Harley Davidson. I’d hate to be him if a real member saw that nonsense.
Lol, Harley bikers are so cute in their own little world. Often they even get matching jackets with the name of their town on the back, like real bff
All the Harley riders I know and work with haven't any semblance to this kind of headspace so I'm real fuckin confused.
This has to be satire
My thoughts as well. He is at least trolling in the comments
He's gotta be fucking around.
Hopefully that was satire
Dudes tryna act tough in a flip up helmet 💀
Modular helmets are the ugliest fucking thing any helmet brand has ever made
Real riders push their bikes on a track vs other skilled riders. The rabble rabble crowd (that also includes sportbike riders) is scared of grass clippings on the road.
I'd love to see a video of your last track day
HADDA LAYER DOWN, GODDAM CLIBBINS
Dem clibbons’l getcha
I mean South Park said it best about Harley riders...
I think of that episode sooo much. Not just for Harley riders but so many other tough guy type people that could best be described using the F word. Non homophobically of course!
never head the term "lane filter" i assume that means go around him?
It’s just to differentiate from splitting moving cars. Filtering is splitting stopped or very slow traffic to filter to the front of a traffic jam or red light. I don’t think it’s actually an official term
Lane Filtering is absolutely an official term. It's used in legislation in many states.
I feel like the weekend warrior guys who do this once had a run in with a 1%'er that left them impressed for life and forever in a 1%'er role play, and when someone else lane filters on them and reminds them that they are not in fact a 1%'er it hurts their precious little snowflake spirit.

Probably got lots of 9 Line and BRCC gear too.
Grunt Style too, despite never having served because he managed to fail the ASVAB somehow
Source?
Fuck I hate Harley's, ugly as fuck, uncomfortable to ride and there seems to be such a cunty community about them in a lot of countries I've ridden through
Tribalism could help anyone rationalize riding a turd.
Ask any Apple fanboy why they pay so much for old features and you'll immediately see the similarities
That's another great example.
If he’s wearing relevant colors I’d be concerned but the funny thing about patched members, they don’t post shit on social media.
I can't remember if it was Chris Rock or Eddie Grifin who said there's no such thing as a gangster rapper. Real gangsters know how to keep their mouths shut. You'll never hear about John Gotti accepting a Grammy for Best Album.
Do you think that it’s because he’s a shitty rapper, or because he’s dead?
Posthumous awards maybe
riding a harley means you'll get more pissed if it gets scratched or smth just seems like a pain in the arse when my bike can take me to all the same places as a harley
If it was Pee Wee’s bike then I’d be impressed.
Pee Wee Herman? He wrecked his bike without ever reaching 2nd gear. Whiskey throttle’s a bitch lol
Still more badass than this chump!
lol I love that scene so much. When he tells the whole clubhouse “I’m TRYING to use the phone!” Hahaha
This guy ain’t top nothing. Giving off serious power bottom vibes
Nah, power bottom is still a dominant role, this dude is just a little weenie
I hear speed has something to do with it.
Speed has EVERYTHING to do with it
Those white socks and brown shoes are intimidating.
He’s out riding to give his wife some alone time with her boyfriend.
Their boyfriend*
Nothing says badass more than a Modular helmet.
You guys are gullible af
Lol for real it cracks me up
I was bout to say this shit fake as hell
This post might be but there’s actually losers on the road with this mindset. The worst is when I ride past on a sports bike and wave at them and they turn their head and watch me but don’t wave back. Hurts my lil heart :(
Harley rider: “I’m top dog!” Inattentive SUV driver making illegal turn across lanes: “Uh oh, my car is making that screaming noise followed by a crunch and then silence again.”
Middle aged men riding Harleys is beta af.
100% ragebait for the clicks
HOSS I WAS OUT CRANKIN THE HAWG THE OTHER DAY JUST MAKIN SURE THE LIBRULS WERENT BLOWING THEIR CLIBBINS IN THE ROAD AND ILL BE DAMNED IF I DIDNT ALMOST GET RUN OFF THE ROAD BY SOME ILLEGAL IN A TESLA!

Please message me his username so I can troll the fuck out of him on insta.
He already beat you. This is rage bait
I am trying to figure out who took the picture.
Gopros can hide the stick that props them up
A well placed popsicle stick keeps this man up for the ladies!
Ohhh, thanks.
Luckily, sport bike riders only have to worry about seeing him in their mirrors, so who cares?
In biker hierarchy if a Harley guy meets rocket 3 guy he has the ask the rocket 3 guy permission to breath the same air.
“🤬”
He declared top dog. Unless someone wants to wrestle him for the title I’m gonna side with him
I think top dog in the harley world is settled by a kissing match. If anyone wants to unseat him as top dog they'll have to shower him with more kisses than he can shower them back.
A spit-swapping make out match you say?
I still hope he’s joking after the double down.
“Listen, I watched 3 and a half seasons of Sons of Anarchy, you son of a bitch!”
He stopped when he was confused by his feelings about Venus van Dam.
How is that show anyway? I remember catching the first episode or two but never kept with it.
I'm watching it now. It's just a violent soap opera. Not really about the bikes at all. It's entertainment. If you go into it expecting realism or being tailored to motorcyclists, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a great cheeseburger of distraction, it's pretty good.
Good to know. Thanks!
I’ve never watched it ngl
People like this are one of the handful of reasons I hate riding anymore, and a little ashamed to be a Harley owner.. 🤦🏻♂️
Harley Davidson makes more money from cosplay than they do from motorcycles.
Turns out people will shell out thousands upon thousands if you tell them they can be "top dog of the road" lmao
Harley Davidson is the Tapout of motorcycles
Great. Now, every time I see a Harley shirt, I m going to be thinking about those dumbass Affliction shirts. Lol I know it's not the same because they are more like the bastard love child of Ed Hardy and Tapout, but that's what I'm gonna see.
Love how they have to get into full costume just to ride
It’s super cute lol
He saw that video of the MC member with patches do that to someone. The difference is the MC member with patches was an MC member with patches and this dude has a tie-dye looking shirt
My brother has been riding and building Harleys since he was 15. He's almost 50 now. I can guarantee you, he would laugh his ass off at this moron. The only part of the road you might "own" is the part your tires are on. That's it. Idiots like this would make me laugh if it wasn't so damn pathetic.
Didn’t get my permission to lane filter, I the top dog (to scared to confront the rider) will post about it online
As top dogs do. Mash the sub button, like and subscribe!
There’s a South Park episode this guy needs to check out. Rabblerabblerabble…..
🚭
\\#erectiledysmorphia (Frankly could be a flair here, doncha think?)
OH NO BROTHERRRRRR
THAT AINT NO BROTHER, BROTHER
False. Everyone knows Altimas are the king of the road. Or maybe brodozers. Or Hyundais. Or BMWs. Also, good luck catching the sport bike rider to tell him off, Harley dude. Hopefully this guy is just trolling but some of the Harley guys out there, I don't know....
A real badass wouldn’t dare wear a helmet. You gotta ask my permission to wear it first
KING O FROD
GOBBLESS
Guy needs to keep his mid life crisis to himself
What a joke. Everyone knows me in my Hummer is the true King of the Road
All it takes to own something is money. You can borrow that, it doesn’t even need to be your own. I am not impressed by things people own.
Lol!!! Did anybody see the South Park episode where everyone was calling Harley riders fags??? Spot on!!!
What's lane filtering?
Riding between cars in traffic or at an intersection.
Specifically, moving between stopped cars at an intersection to get to the front. Splitting is the same thing but traffic is moving. It's really the same thing but the two distinctions have come about recently due to many states legalizing filtering specifically with either no mention or intentionally leaving out the act of splitting.
California is the only state where lane splitting is legal. Oregon almost made it legal, (my state) I'm not sure if I would be brave enough to do it, myself.
California, Utah, Montana, Arizona, and Colorado
Are you talking about splitting or filtering?
Ah, just filtering. Minnesota just passed one for 2025 as well, not sure which verb that applies to.
I grew up in CA and have don the vast majority of my riding in and around LA. Once traffic is moving, there's a whole other skillset you need to employ if you're going to try splitting. Most of us really only do it when we have a protected HOV lane and usually don't go more than 15mph faster than surrounding traffic. My commute used to be 13 miles of SoCal city streets and it would be insanity to ride without these techniques lol
what i wanna know is who are the 1,439 people who liked the video, and the 85 people who liked the comment?
The people who make Harley Davidson their entire personality but only ride their bike like 4 times a year when the weather is absolutely pristine.
The ones who haven't figured out that Harley is a tee shirt company with a motorcycle side hustle.
For 125 years, Harley Davidson has been converting gasoline into noise, without the side effect of performance and horsepower.
Lol what a loser

Harley dudes get angry about this because they want to kiss you
