Greetings all, I think its a self-generated mind-set. When somebody spends 18,19.....25 thousand dollars on a motorcycle they have to believe it was a worthwhile purchase. They seek out like-minded people and a "click" is formed. When they look at me riding my 8K Honda CB1100 they think I'm someone thats not really serious about Motorcycle riding. I do believe they have to justify their expenditure by following the pack. Get the jacket, boots, dew rag, wallet........
What they don't get is I just like to ride. I don't have to emulate anybody or anything other than myself. I ride a Honda because I like the way it looks, sounds, and that fact thats its a very reliable machine.
We each like different bikes for a variety of personal reasons. Find the one you like and ride, ride, ride. If you want to pretend you're part of the Wild Ones, go for it! Just get out of my way and we'll get along fine.
Good Rides, SeaFlea.
