How did you find the UTMC?

Rench · Post by **Rench** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 8:08 am

There's an indirect link on the Sportster.org main page to the article BSH mentioned from Monk. I read it once years ago, was amused, and left it at that. Then about 2 weeks before my wedding, I caught a nasty summer flu, so I was home from work, bored out of my mind, went back to that article, then found the boards.

No disrespect to them, but haven't been back to Sportster.org since...

I was looking for a motorcycle forum, and all the ones I had found either talked about bikes that were so new they bore no resemblance to mine (cbrforum, hondabikes), or had an unhealthy obsession with buying gear (ADVrider).

Rejecting their realities and substituting my own, I googled "motorcycle cult" and all was made clear to me.

I've never felt more at home.

Rolly recommended to me on one of our Kanuckistan sites. Now that I have embraced the bacon, I guess I'm home.

I think it was same as Ames with some super late night @ paris, Darth Beemer pushing some hard to remember web address with something about itchy and macintosh in it somewhere. I think it was around the same time the before mentioned/shall not be mentioned group and patches and A-hole 1%ers were crashing and burning.

Link from the Cretins website.

My memory has gone for shit but I think I googled cafe racer very shortly after purchasing my KZ and becoming the Asshole that I am today. Now I trade art with the Asshole that dubbed me Asshole.

Saw the Nuke and Pave shirt... on some huge fuckin' viking at a bike show.

Just after I got my endorsement, I was reading a lot of retarded articles about the biker lifestyle (in order to avoid, you know, working), and then I found this place. I think I came here after learning my 1%-er name...

I remember some site about good peoples and bad peoples that linked here too. And the ratbike site.

That was back before the forums were the new hotness we enjoy today. I'm practically an old-timer.

Wasn't there some guy called Vance who was someday going to buy an Aprilia he'd had on layaway? What ever happened with that?

I guess you have to find solace somewhere for having to live in Phoenix.

I lived there for a year and a half and finally cried Uncle, then bolted for San Fran for 4 years before moving back home to LA.

The guy I bought my Goldwing from had a whole garage full of motorcycles & parts, some of them were running! He & his buddy were talking as I was picking up my bike, and they mentioned the cretins. I went home & looked it up, found this link & YAYYYY!!!!!

I am not as social as I should be, with all the regular excuses, too busy, too much other stuff to do, too lazy, you know,so a brick and mortar club seemed too much for me.

This place gives me the opportunity to look and gawk and interact at my own pace.

For a year, Merlyn said, " You need to join the UTMC. They are intelligent. They *read* for chrissakes! They don't engage in bullshit flaming, but will actually come up with valid, articulate REASONS for their disagreements! You need to join the UTMC."

I finally broke down and joined.....and am still here. In spite of you all being a bunch of fucktards.

You shouldn't tease the animals....not only is it not nice, but it could be dangerous when they actually *do* have whips.

Yeah, we're going on seven years here. The novelty wore off about a year ago. I think we're headed for Oregon next. I figure going to "wet all the time" from "dry all the time" will be a good change.

The Triumph will probably feel more at home up there, too.

Strangely enough but I remember seeing your posts on the .org site, and noticing a new guy "Rench" posting the exact same questions over here. Thats how I learned your real name, I felt like a hacker.

I came across the UTMC before there was a forum. . . I think googling about motorcycles in the Snow. Saw some awesome pics of somebody who is far too cool for us now and thought these guys are alright.

Came across the forum a year or so later.

Speaking of the Nuke and Pave shirt. Just be careful not to assume that anybody wearing one actually has a clue about this site. Grabbing a complete stranger in public and telling them you are "Rabbit Fighter" can be a bit confusing for them.

I may do this at some point throughout the day tomorrow. Apropos of nothing, I will just walk up to people and say "I am the Rabbit Fighter". I will return with reports.

"I don't know officer, this guy with tattoos on his face just walked up to me and said, "I am the Rabbit Fighter" then he just walked away."
"Did he threaten you Sir?"
"Uh, I'm not sure?"

Point taken. Allow me to rephrase:

"In spite of you all being a bunch of fucktards, dicks and/or assholes."

I googled "Pinkie+bacon+asshole" and this was the only thing that came up. I had to look.

For real, a coworker shot me a link about an R1 getting rear-ended, and it was no more work from there. About 2 years ago. Met Jaeger and Mook a few weeks later. Downhill ever since!

At which point, if the person doesn't respond with "the jackal wears bacon lederhosen," shoot him/her.

Step in line, Stiles. He may be all cool and class on the outside, but dig deeper and he's a vicious demented animal.
