Why do people rip other brands of bikes...? |
..that they have never owned or worked on let alone even ridden? I understand brand loyalty and all but to rip your fellow biker and his choice of ride? what happened to freedom of choice and respect for that choice? I ride a harley and have freinds that ride bikes from the big 4...sportbikes and cruisers.None of us knock the others bikes.I even let my sportbike riding buddy ride my Harley and he absolutly loved it.His first ride ever on a Harley.Come on people...show some respect Doug, you make a valid point. Kudos for bringing up the subject. When I ride to rallys or Ice Creameries (mini-rallys, here in New England), I never get anything but a friendly wave and thumbs up from the other bikers out there, regardless of what they rode in on. Sometimes you might overhear some cocky kid bad-mouthing someone else's ride but I attribute that to immaturity and posing to impress to the "babes". Hopefully in time, they'll grow out it. Now here on YA, its a different story. Hard to gauge someones age by their answers. But muturity doesn't always wear a age tag. There seems to be alot of button pushing going on in this forum, and I for one, find it very annoying. I attribute it to the "anonymity of the internet". Here in cyberspace you can pretend to be whomever you want to be. The 95lb brownnoser, who would never dare utter a contentious remark in public, suddenly becomes Cap't America in here. ... a know everything braggard, with balls the size the grapefruit! By enlarge, I find civility still practiced in the real world amongst fellow bike riders, no matter what they ride. But in here... well, lets hope the that the children and nutless posers soon find something else to entertain them in cyberspace... like RUdESCAPE. I never rip bikes - only clueless riders. You know the ones - they think their bike brand is the only motorcycle ever built that is worth riding, everyone else's bike is crap, and that they need to educate those people and everyone else of the only motorcycle to buy? It seems like you have some fairly level headed friends - this doesn't appear to apply to them. Respect is not a God given right - it is something you earn through your own actions and behavior. Get used to it. This type of thing goes on in every part of life. I own a older motorhome, and guys with those new 400,000 dollar rigs knock mine, but I don't care. I'm perfectly happy with what I've got. Ignore everyone else and have fun riding. That's why we own bikes , ain't it? I've rode most all or them.I prefer a Harley.I dont snub other bikers though.One time I was on a Yamaha and a Harley biker passed me and snubbed me.Five miles up the road I found him walking.I stopped and picked him up.He kept telling me what a nice bike I had.I knew he was lieing to me but I didn't care.Mine was moving and his was not.I really didn't really mind helping him out. I've had 3 Harleys, and they will ensure you get to walk. I've had numerous Suzies, Kaws, Yammerhammers and various British bikes. Junk. In my experience Honda is the only real motorcycle manufacturer on the planet. There you have it; people diss other bikes cause they have experience in the field. Once one rides a bike that is both comfortable and reliable one will never go back to junk. Lots of experience pushing broken bikes. 'cause the one I ride is the greatest, that's all! LOL. Knocking Harleys is a tradition. They had some poor quality control back in the 1970s, and, apparently, no one has forgotten it. |
