Which was said to me when I went to the opening event of the New England Motorcycle Museum this past summer. This wasn't anyone from the New England Motorcycle Museum saying this to me but just another spectator coming in the same time as I.
I guess it would depend on how they said it. I had a big, bearded HD rider say something similar when I parked outside a tavern near Sun Valley ID a few years ago. I remarked that it probably made it easier to carry in the parts that had fallen off.
We ended up having a beer, comparing local rides and the next day I took him on a 400 mile loop through the mountains that he'd never ridden before.
Most of my friends ride Harleys (as I did a long time ago) and I've found that much of the brand rivalry is nothing more than good natured ribbing. I never take it seriously.
