I see it both ways...and Chip, obviously cultured and of varied tastes, owns one of ours and one from the Dark Side.
Great. No problem with it. On one level, I'm in complete agreement - riding is riding.
THAT SAID...my lo-rent apartment, rented for quick approval a year ago, is right against an Interstate on one side and fronts an important street. A mile down the street is the region's H-D dealership.
I don't go there so I don't see if it's a masquerade party...not my scene; not my business. BUT...with pavement on both sides, and the weather warming up...this afternoon I noticed....how MANY times I hear the open-pipe Blat-blat-BLATBLATBLAT as they roll by.
It's annoying. It really IS. Of all the things to use as identity...ANNOYING NOISE?
In my old age, I have a few moral precepts. Calling attention to one's self is unbecoming. One's work or art should do its own speaking.
And calling attention to one's self by CAUSING DISRUPTION...is the mark of a lout.
Other than that...if apehangers, with your hands going numb from neuralgia from being held over your head for hours...with minimal springing, and your tailbone taking it all because you're in the Barcalounger position...if that's your thing, who are any of us to say otherwise?
This is just bit too ironic for me.

What subject was that? I don't believe that anyone had mentioned loud pipes before you brought it up in your post. Which you then used as a springboard to hurl other insults. I don't recall other topics getting you so riled up. I definitely realize that loud pipes get under your skin (and I can honestly understand why). But please lighten up a bit.
This is just bit too ironic for me.
Oh?

The subject was Harley riders.
What is objectionable about them? Chrome? Leather?
Cruiserface? The hard scowl, the I'mma-BAAD-dood posture? Closer...but easily ignored.
What, then?
Why do you suppose they ticket cagers who have missing mufflers?
This is just bit too ironic for me.
Oh?
Do you really think that SHOUTING helps you get your point across — especially when you are complaining about people making excessive noise?
In addition, if i were to describe your posts with such broad brush strokes at those you've used to paint H-D fans I'd say that they are divisive with the intent to merit strong responses. That wouldn't exactly be fair — only some of your posts qualify.

My comments above should pretty much cover it.
Emphasis to communicate vocal inflection.
The phrase CAUSING DISRUPTION was intended to be stressed. Not shouted, but stressed.
