We have a small but growing group of guys (replacing the old C4 that had a much bigger following until it closed and everyone went looking for a replacement) that congregate at the Grotto in Cave Creek Arizona. We like cool bikes, no matter what the brand (we even admire a Royal Enfield that shows up; does not mean I let up on the teasing though) and the bikes range from KTM's to Harley's. We even seem to have a Moto Guzzi rally going on from time to time.
The Harley guys tend to gather at the Steel Horse bar up the road. To the best of my knowledge there is no Honda, Suzuki, Moto Guzzi etc. gathering place. It's bikers or motorcyclists.
I think we emphasis the iron, coffee, and bench racing too much at the expense of riding but we celebrate what little common ground we do have and on good days we even learn something from someone outside our comfort zone.
I kinda miss the days when my bike was my transportation and less my entertainment. Things change. sigh.
