Why do you even care what these people were doing or why they were doing it? If you had a great trip to Sturgis, good for you. Settle for that and leave other people alone. Bottom line: it's none of your business.

Ya know;I don't get all this anti-trailering crapola. Riding is tiring. Some people would rather get there all nice & fresh, not worn out from the ride. So FREAKIN' what? What;a guy ain't a real MAN unless he rides there? Considering the aging Harley demographic, I don't think there's anything wrong with trailering. In fact, I have driven to Daytona several times. Why? well, this past March, my buddy was down from NYC & didn't have his bike with him. Last March before, temps didn't get out of the mid 50s all week--the GF & I drove (the Famous Mustang) Sure, I could ride in the cold. Doesn't make me a man. But the point is, IT AIN'T NO FUN!! Wearin' a heavy leather,scarf,heavy gloves,full helmet. Hell, if it ain't fun, I don't wanna do it! I love ridin' in beautiful weather, and that's what we have 90% of the time in Florida. But if the weather sux, I ain't gonna go. Period. I'll trailer, or I'll just drive. Nothin' wrong with that. Does that mean I ain't a real biker? Who the hell cares. I have my Harleys for enjoyment & relaxation;not to prove anything. And if the weather sux this year for Biketoberfest, I'm taking the truck, with heat,tunes, and coffee. And if anyone don't like it, they can kiss my puckerpipe!
In fact, this weekend I am looking at trading in my current trailer for an upgraded, heavier duty one;deal is all set & ready to go down. I will post pics when I get it to **** off the anti-trailer people!LOL

On this one, I am in agreement with you. I just don't understand why so many people get so jacked up over how someone gets from point a to point b. I guess it also makes someone a poser if, rather than pack all on their baggage on the bike, they just ship it ahead to the their destination.
Thus leaving a much better handling bike (and safer) to enjoy to it's fullest.
Oh yeah, I guess I'm not a 'real' biker because we're flying to Las Vegas and renting bikes rather than riding our own bikes.
Instead of using a trailer, we'll be using a 727.

Maybe he was just admitting he was a ***** before someone told him and had to hear all the trash talk. Who really cares, as long as everyone had a good time and kept the tradition of Sturgis going?
