I dunno, it only seems the young ones (riding any brand) are the snobs. I haven't met any riders my age (old) that seem to give a rats rear what brand you ride.

BTW: Just got a text from a good friend (life long HD rider) in Key West. Did 1400 miles in 34 hrs. Really nice guy, but he is nuts! This is the same guy who rode his Street Glide to the Arctic Circle. Was headed to Prudhoe Bay, but the gas station was closed.

Re:Why do they (hd) hate us so much? 1 Year ago  
I just got my R*, two weeks ago, didn't get to spend much time with it due to the fact that I put it right into the shop to get the trans recall work done. But I am very happy with the ride so far. I have owned 3 other bikes. All harleys. I grew up with harleys, never owned anything else until now. I used to think like all the other Harley guys, that if it ain't a Harley it isn't worth riding. Lol . But then I did my home work. As far I as can tell, the R* is a Harley, with diff emblems. Don't get me wrong, I still love harleys just as much, even have the logo tattooed on me. But comparing apples to apples, I can't tell much difference between the two brands, except for the mystique of the Harley name, and the outrageous price tags.

At my work I park with a Suzuki C90, Honda VTX 1800, HD Fat Bob, HD Street Glide and a couple other bikes that show up occasionally. None of us have ever commented on brand but we do comment on bikes. Got a brother in law that rides an Ultra Classic. He and I ride with a Gold Wing and a couple sport bikes and one guy that comes along occasionally with an old HD hard tail. Not sure of model and he used to be hardcore but we all ride for the ride and nothing more.

Re:Why do they (hd) hate us so much? 1 Year ago  
I absolutely LOVE my R/S!!! My wife wonders which I love more, the bike or my four year old Boxer. I was talking to a knuckle head the other day and he just couldn’t understand why I would only own a Yamaha and not a Harley. In my opinion the big three Yamaha bikes (R/S, Liner and Raider) are by far the best you can get and the prices are great. All of my family and friends ride Harleys and really like my Roadie. I just get aggravated when people I don’t even know ACTUALLY think they are riding a superior machine.

I say it's a joke, I say it;s a joke son, and
it's on those weekend warriors, wannabe 1%er's.
I have 1%er friends, never said a bad word about
my R*, some actually ask to putt around the block.
Brother rides a Road King, my R* get all the attention.

that's what gets me also. My R* is my second bike, I started on a Suzuki C50....when someone comments on my "Jap" bike, I just laugh and ride away

As Lee Iacocca said: "Small minds need big offices."

If anyone is willing to spend the time to minimize or belittle you or something you have, you or it is a threat to them. When someone truly doesn't care about someone or something, it never enters their mind.

Another quote (paraphrased) from Booker T. Washington: 'Those intent upon holding someone down in a ditch have to stand down in that ditch with them.' In other words, they've got waste some of their own time to keep you down. It must be pretty important to them.
