They are jealous, that's all. You got a pretty thin skin, too.

I ride an Ultra because that is what I like, not what others like. Be yourself, and set your own standard for what's "cool".

Well, over here the punchline is California, but maybe you could use Vladivostok. Just ask them if they want to race you and your "old man's bike." When they laugh and say yes, just say okay, the first one to ____________ wins!

Yup. heard that many times myself: "I'm not ready for a Geezer Glide". Doesn't matter to me what they think.

I just bought my RKC and so far I'm hearing comments like, "Wow, you finally grew up!" or "What the hell? That's an old man's bike."
Of course, I don't care. Hell, I'd like to think I'm too young for a touring bike. But I'd be kidding myself ;-)

I used to call DeVilles and Town Cars old man's cars until I took I cross-country trips in them.
Ride your own ride and become immune to insult.
