I don't think you follow my logic.
I'm saying that starting on 500 and mastering those skills before moving on bigger toys, makes for a better rider. Did you learn arithmetic first or jumped right into algebra? If starting on something smaller than "big boy bike" makes me a poser, I'm OK with it.
I learned on a 175 little old CZ dirt bike... then raced 250. Rode a couple of little old Sporties before my first 74. Still think Sportster is one the better bikes harley builds.
Learned to roadrace and got my license on a little 500Ninja before getting rides on "big boy bikes" and I'll do the same with boats.
I have nothing but respect for most MCs and just because I don't wear a cut, doesn't mean that I don't know how to ride 75+ on BQE next to someone 4 feet of a bike in front of me.
I never said anything about excluding dentists from your rides. Thats your business... but would you ride next to him?

I'm just really pick about who I ride with.
One is my racing buddy, who is MUCH faster and better rider than me.
One is MSF instructor with 40something years on everything from a Knuckle to modern Kaw.
Only newbie I ride with is my kid, so I get to teach him all my bad habits like splitting lanes, running side-by-side at 80mph, etc...
Do as I say, not as I do...
