RE: Harley Bashing
From someone whol lives on both sides of the equation I'd have to say if more Harley people would wave at riders other than Harley riders they would be less perceived as a clickesh group. I have several sportbikes and a sport touring type bike with hardbags andthe minute I start down the road on my RKC, the first thing I notice is all these people waving at me. Needless to say they are the Harley people that I'm not used to waving. We play a little game up in the mtns where you can ride 350 mile days on nothing but curving roads. We will be a group of 5 to 10 sportbikes all dressed out in leathers and we go out of our way to wave like crazy at Harleys people and it is rare that anyone waves back. Goldwings and every other motorcyclist waves. Why do the Harley people find it that they are above waving at every other motorcyclist. JMO but I cannot help but think this is part of the reason for separation.

What about all the bashing that goes on inside HarleyWorld, namely that directed at Sportster riders. That gets really annoying.

An Oberservation:
There was a post on here by a nice enough guy that had some links to pics of his bike, it wasn't a Harley. A few responses weren't very nice, but most were respectful and pointed out that he at least rode. I have to tell you, I was impressed. The fellow that posted his ride on a Harley forum had to expect some ribbing, kinda like before I changed my pipes I would get: "Dude, start your bike"...It is started I'd scream,,,laughing at the same time as them.
My point is, someone posted a link to a Goldwing forum, so I popped on over for a read the last few days. I AM BLOWN AWAY at how much Harley bashing goes on there!!!!!!!!! The HD Forum seems to spread info and help and laughter about Harelys and anything else we find that gets us going. There..the TOPIC is Harleys, and how can we bad mouth them today.
Seems as though 99% of the riders here practice live and let live. So I want to thank the HD Forum riders for it's wisdom & kindness to all motorcycle riders.

My friend rides a Honda with me and we tease each other all the time. If we park in a public area like a bar parking lot, I will sneak out and throw a handful of rice under his bike (Yes I carry rice with me just for this reason). On the way out I will say "Dude, your bikes leaking". P*sses him off but we always laugh.
Get this, he bought the Honda because he thought he couldn't afford a Harley, he paid $2000.00 more for his than I paid for my Road King.
