Why does it bother people? cause we dont have a payment book like the phone book.
I have met people that think if you dont have the new 1000009 cu motor you aint cool and all that junk, I just want to ride , dodge idiots and enjoy riding. I have a 88 glide that has a small cam , fine for me , 89 ultra when me and sweety ride and if you dont like it pass us, were happy.

MAN does this chap my A$$. The girlfriend and I went riding Sunday and made a stop at the local bar. We were the only bike when we got there, had lunch and walked out to a group of about 5 new bikes - All heritage softails, mostly BRIGHT YELLOW parked next to us. I was wearing jeans and my vinyl Harley riding jacket with a hoodie. Girlfriend was wearing a white northface fleece, OH no, NOT BLACK!!. I ride a sh*tload and couldnt care less about what I'm wearing or what she's wearing as long as we're covered.
Well the group of guys and women were head to toe chaps to headbands and instantly started making comments about my girlfriend wearing a "Yuppie" jacket. Then proceeded to ask - "What year is that?" I responded It's a '95, thinking they would compliment how clean it is - their response - "How do you 2 ride that dinosaur?"
Are you fricking kidding me?!?!?! I was so pissed I had to turn my back and not say a word. Just fired up the old evo and let the Vance an Hines drown out the a$$holes. Then once we hit the road my girlfriend asked what they meant. I told her we werent wearing enough "Harley" gear to be seen as cool to them.
I just dont get some people. Alright - RANT OVER.

Thats the saddest part... I had a guy tell me the other day that he saw a metric of some sort and that it sounded really good, just like a Harley... I said like mine, he said "no, like the newer ones"... I could just smile.....
