I owned a Honda NC750X, which might be perceived by some as a "lesser bike" compared to other models and the CB1100. Sure, there is reasonable discussion there.

Today my choice ride is an Africa Twin and a 150 cc scooter, which brings on the giggles in a way the Africa cannot. When I pull up to an HD rider with the scooter, they lack the courage to look my way. When I pull up to an HD rider with the Africa Twin, they lack the courage to look my way. So where really is the problem? (the ego is a strong, primitive force in us)
