So why the tension between street bikes and the harleys? |
Theyre both bikes..... The tension is not with street bikers and Harley riders. The tension arises between Harley riders and everyone else because of their bad attitude and dogged insistance that the heap of crap they ride is the best in the world. If they did not make that claim, and did not all try to look like bandits and bounty hunters ( what the hell is all that crap about), everyone else would not jump on their case. The problem with Harley riders is that they believe their own BS. and they p*ss everyone else off. There's no ' tension '. They're both bikes & some folks compare'em. But it's Apples & Oranges ! They are very different animals, and probably not worth comparing. I happen to like both big cruisers and sports bikes, but I am an exception. Some of the tension is the trash talking that goes on, some of it is the standard ford/chevy kind of trash talking you hear, people are just proud of what the own/ride. Some of the trash talking is related to the age and attitude difference between sports bikes and harleys. The avg age of a harley rider is getting up there, the avg age of a sports bike rider is much younger. So there is a generation gap there. The harley guys are very traditional, tend to like leather, tend to like partial or no helmets. The sports bike guys embrase full face helmet, modern ballistic nylon with built in armor. There are exceptions to all of this but those are the stereo types. I ride with a group of Harley, metric cruisers, sports bikes, some 20+ year old classics, and we all get along and are family, our riding is what bonds us. That isn't always true with alot of other groups, many groups will try to segrgate you, try to sell you on a specific image. Hope that helps Noooooooooo, not this question AGAIN, pleeeaaase! Every time this divissive question is posted - and it is over and over again - it does nothing more than rile up the different riding groups. Instead of making people see that the love of riding, regardless of type, make, model, is what makes them a riding community, it increases the animosity and the divide between the two. It would be so much more pro-active to just call it the RIDING COMMUNITY (brotherhood/sisterhood) Remember that both street bikes (sporties, metrics) or Harley riders all put their pants and boots on, one leg at a time LOL - Hey biker babe, email me, I have a question about learning another language... Because the Harley guys are fun to pick on. They're such easy targets too. http://cycletownusa.com/harleyinetcyclet... |
