While en route to BJ’s, I discuss my neighborhood’s friendliness, being a hermit, and I film a jackass turning left in front of me.

    I like the friendly neighbors that keep an eye out for each other. sometimes that can be bad but I believe the good far exceeds the negative attributes.

    @suburbanryder: I would love to be more like that. Must grow a pair!

  3. suburbanryder says:

    I actually have run into the same situation.

    I just handle it directly and tell them, “Call just once and leave a message.” So far it has worked very well and I still get along with them.
    Not that it would break my heart if they got miffed about it.

    @maikeli7 LOL! Are those names for real? (I don’t have tv)

  5. maikeli7 says:

    @moose3971 “Smile and wave boys. Smile and wave.” LOL! Love it!

    @cdwolf So nice to know that others feel the same way!!
    Thanks, CDW!

    @hoston1765 =^D

  8. maikeli7 says:

    @onejillion Ya know!?
    LOL!
    That is actually the first time I’ve had that happen to me since I started riding in ‘06.
    Gotta always keep yer eyes peeled!

    @jnt4life I think the motorcycle lends itself well to the hermit wishing to get out and about, yet not be sociable. I want a sticker that says, “Hermit on wheels!”

  10. maikeli7 says:

    @808yewtube What, has no one heard of BJ’s? What about Dick’s? They are always in the same complex in these parts. Oh, then there is Badcock & More: “Makes it easy!”
    I’d have loved to be in the room when they were coming up with their ad campaign!

  11. maikeli7 says:

    @8cuttlefish8 If you’re going to have problems with neighbors, this is among the most desirable on the scale.

  12. maikeli7 says:

    @SmokeRingsPipeDreams Jeesh! Sounds like a determined stalker! I hate that too. “Dammit, leave a message!”

  13. SmokeRingsPipeDreams says:

    It always pisses me off when someone calls my land line and don’t leave a message, but then calls my cell phone. Sometimes they don’t leave a message on my cell either, but call my land line AGAIN! I hate that, and sometimes they even call my cell phone a second time (four calls alltogether) and then finally leave a message. It’s like being attacked with technology.

  14. 8cuttlefish8 says:

    Haha, yeah i agree some people can be a little to nice haha :) .

  15. 808yewtube says:

    LOL! I love your video description. In Hawaii you can have a million neighbors but they can pretty much leave you alone. Let’s see your new glasses!!! Does HD make frames? I bet they do!!!! haha!

  16. jnt4life says:

    I’m definately a hermit. I only leave the house ride or go to work . I can’t even think of anything to make a vlog about! Yes, the American Flag shirt fiasco bothered me too.

  17. onejillion says:

    So some idiot turns in front of you, and YOU’RE the one who needs glasses??? Be careful out there Mike!

  18. hoston1765 says:

    Good content, agree 100%!

  19. cdwolf says:

    LMAO@U Mike! I knew I could count on you to brighten up my day. I love your YouTube contributions, they empower me and make me feel as though I am right with the world. I AM NOT ALONE!

  20. moose3971 says:

    Well on the part on the neighbors, I agree, I have the same problem with my old neighbors, always bothering me. I agree with what the penguins of Madagascar say, “Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave. On the part of the American Flag, well Ron White said it “You can’t fix stupid!” What does the BJ stand for, I mean I have my ideas, but I do not think you should be posting things like that on youtube, just my two cents.

  21. maikeli7 says:

    @theSMYRNAcowboy : LOL! Well, I dunno if those are the words he’d use! All in all, I wouldn’t change my neighborhood for anything!

  22. maikeli7 says:

    @RC62: I actually was tempted to buy a sticker that said, “Old Fart,” but I figured I’m still a tad young for it.

    You got that right!

    Thanks, and stay safe out there!

  23. maikeli7 says:

    @KeukaRyder: I was thinking I was being rude, but later, I realized he was being a colon-crowder. He hasn’t bugged me since, so I guess my cold shoulder kind of worked!
    The REAL geezer, i.e., my Dad, at the age of 66, once told an Arab-looking dude the following: “I gut no problem wit you or your religion, but if try anything funny, I’ll rip yaw f—in’ head off!” And that tough old Marine meant every word.

    I did, didn’t I!? It must have gotten into me subconsciously!

  24. KeukaRyder says:

    You’re no hermit. If a guy celled me, phoned me and rang my doorbell and wanted to sell me something… as a hermit, I would’ve reamed him out for violating my personal space.(like, ya know dude)

    Lets see, the last thing I would hear is a’geezer’ saying “I’m going to eat you?” As a long time geezer I can tell you that eating Arab hijackers sucks.

    You did a lauriejennifer 7:23..LOFL!

  25. RC62 says:

    Gee you are becoming a grumpy old fart eh? LOL
    Just razzing you a little bit! I tend to be a bit of a hermit too.

    Political correctness and cultural sensitivity only work in one direction.

    Ride safe!
