Have you ever noticed The "Cliquey" SNOBBY groups, Like Harley riders, Porsche Corvette, Etc. Never Call there cars or bikes just that? It's a Harley NOT a bike, or Motorcycle, A Corvette is Never a Vet,, And a Porsche, ends with an A. (Porsch-a) Then there's The KLR, Or KLR650. I noticed when I E, a topic, on a web site that is DEDICATED TO KLR650'S I (we) still make sure to say, My "KLR" Not My 650, or Dual-sport, or Bike OR even Motorcycle. So I guese what I am saying is WE ARE AS SNOBBY, as the "Harley" folk. But at lease WE!!! have Good reason to be. LOL [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I have two bikes. I refer to the KLR as "Big Ugly." I sometimes refer to it as the KLR to distinguish it from the DL. -Jeff Khoury

As an old German student, I can't help pronouncing the final e in Porsche or the umlaut in M nch, even though I have never owned either. Even so, I can't bring myself to say Yava for Jawa, or Chay Zet for CeeZee. The guys who do that, those are some real snobs.

I have met quite a few Harley guys that are actually nice folks.....and a good deal of them wave. They just like large, loud, low to the ground chromey bikes. Chicks like them also.....and quite a few of those like to run around half naked.....a cultural phenomenon that is of some interest to some of us (heh). BMW guys are snobby. I know two that always are looking down at my KLR like it is a piece of doo. KTMer's are somewhat similar...or they are pissed about having to wait so long for parts. Gold Wingers can be snobby or either they are afraid to take their hand off the behemoth bars to wave. Some sport bike new agers act like they are the onliest ones around (or their backs and wrists and knees hurt so much, they don't notice you or your mud hole scooter). Criswell Sent from my iPad

The Jag guys are just pissed they have to put a Chevy engine in them to make them good cars. A neighbor has two like that. Criswell Sent from my iPad

Some BMW guys are fine. Cops, for instance. At least half of them wave back. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

If it doesn't have six cylinders in a straight line, or two, it isn't a real Jag. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

Well as I own a 650C5 a 600B1 and a 250D11 ... I generally refer to them by the cubic capacity on KLR sites TTFN Scouse

Even my wife calls it "the KLR" as opposed to "the BMW" or the "Scooter" (2002 Bajaj 4T Vespa clone from Indja.) Not snobbish, just descriptive. M Sent from my iPad
