I can't say that I understand his frustration, I've never been in that position. When my wife met me I was on a bike, and before we got married I made it very clear that its not just a hobby for me, so I couldn't even imagine being told to sell my bike to buy a car, lol, that would be a joke.

Who cares what he thinks, or why he thinks it! I have a good friend, who is smart, funny, and a political whacko. We have a rule that we never talk politics, it works for us. He drives me crazy with his ranting, and I could certainly never say anything to change his mind.
If you value his friendship, tell him you'd rather not discuss bikes with him if he brings it up again. If that doesn't work, he's not your friend.

Guy I work with used to ride a '05 UC and recently gave up the bike. His OL made him buy a new cage for her, won't say more about my attitude about this but anyway, we got to talking about HD and all of sudden he starts bitchin' about how HD hasn't done anything to improve their bikes. Says that HD is behind the times with air-cooled engines and belt drive. SOB thought he had a right to bitch about HD now that he no longer rides. All I could say to him is that they (HD) must be doing something right because there are still a hell of a lot of us still lovin' em and ridin' em. Guess he couldn't take out his anger on his OL for making him get rid of his bike, she would probably kick his *** anyway, so now he wants to put HD down. Say what you want, but if you are going to bitch about HD in general, don't do it around me!
