This may just be a rant.

Today I rode in poker run that was about 180 miles round trip. On the third leg I was following the same guy the entire way and you I could tell he was looking back trying to figure something out. So when we arrived at the next stop I parked next to him. The conversation when like this.....

Him: What sort of bike is that anyway, a low rider?

Me: No, it is a Soft tail, just a standard

Him: That thing sure is plain, not much chrome at all.What do those cost like 20k?

Me: No, not 20k.

Him: Oh that thing must have the small motor then.

Me (chuckling) Yeah just the 96 with the 6 speed.

I then walked away and thought WHAT A (insert 3 or 4 letter word)

I have had nothing but compliments on my bike and this was the first time someone has said negative things. I do realize the standard is the basic model, but it is what I like and it is the perfect bike for me. I have chubby drag bars and relocated front signals so far and I love the bike. I plan on adding more stuff when the $ is right. I think this guy has no idea what he is talking about. Has anyone else had some person do this to them. Whatever happened to "nice bike" what is with all this critiscm. I just figured I would vent a little and see what everyone thought of this guy. And if you are the guy who asks 100 questions just to respond with, negativity, spare some breath and don't ask. I love talking about bikes and asking questions but I never say oh I don't like that, or I would do it different.

What y'all think?

 

He was probably jealous.[:'(] Don't wory about it.

 

Do you like it? Then what do you care.

 

don't worry about a dicks opinion , especially one that can't tell a lowrider from a softie standard

 

Your bike is about you not him or anyone else. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

 

F him! Sounds like he has an ego problem.Azzholes are everywhere,not much you can do about it.Just shrug it off and forget it.He doesn't ride it or pay for it.He just wanted to reassure himself that he was better than you! (don't worry..he's not!)

 

Should have said it was a moped on steroids... why?

 

I think your bikes to plain ,So get the Fack out of here and go find another forum for plain bikes. JK

 

Sounds to me likethat guydoesn't know sh*t from shinola.

 

Ride for yourself man! Only people that are insecure about their little peckers ride to impress others. I know, I used to be one of 'em[8D]
