I rode over to see one of my cousins the other day. When I arrived her brother was there. I saw he was riding a Honda VTX1800. I went in the house for awhile and when we were leaving he started bad mouthing my beautiful Harley Deluxe. I couldn't believe it! He was yelling at his sister that I was riding a piece of (EDIT) and when I started my bike he said, "wait til I start mine and you can hear how a bike should sound". He started it up and it sounded terrible, but I said nothing. I was shocked by his attitude and refused to let him dictate my response to him. If he was broken down on the side of the road I would stop and help him but I don't understand this brand thing. I have had lots of bikes, I'm 64 for goodness sakes, but I ride because of the experience not the brand. Would we all quit riding if Harley went out of business. I would hope not. What kinds of experiences have my new friends had and do you let it bother you or just chalk it up to bad manners?:bigsmiley28:
