"harley"? riders (nklr)
We need a new term for, those SMUG, RUDE, NARCISSISTIC, riders that choose a Harley.
I believe, any true Rider, regardless if a Harley or BMW, Shares the LOVE of it all and RESPECTS ALL OTHER RIDERS.
The ones that don't pick a bike to ride, BUTT pick a Brand to try and stand out as "better" then others. (Be it a Motorcycle, clothing, coffee, etc etc etc etc.

I agree, some of my friends hate Harley's, I don't....pretty engines and unique. Other friends have Harleys and love them....some longtime riders with a lot of miles....some not. Who cares....2 wheels is always better than 4 (except in sand-heh).

I agree with Ron. I've done the Harley and club thing in my early years. Most of my m/c friends are on crusiers. I don't care if you're on a scooter, 3 wheeler or ??? I'm gonna wave at you if I see you. All of the riders that knows me knows I'm not gonna be on a crusier and always ask how my KLR or Bandit is doing. And, they know that lots of my rides are on roads they don't prefer to ride their 15 to 30 thousand dollar bikes on even if they had the skill to do it.
Heck, I have over 100K miles on BMW's Over 100K miles with the two bikes in my garage. They know that and respect that as I do their choices.
LOL! Every once in awhile, I'll even do a Poker Run with them on my KLR .

Harley's Love them.
Not Waving? I at times am looking the wrong way, or just lost in thought, OR HAND ON CLUTCH. LOL
The Topic many relate to "Harley" riders, MORE relates to SNOBS, and too many ride a Harley.
I've had people on BMW's Make SNIDE remarks about, "How clean my bike is" And they had to be at least 200 ft away.
Clean? It had been on the road for 1,400+ miles, and not even been rained on, YET.
The old saying is, "ASS HOLES, EVERY BODY HAS 1"
Well, so does every sport, Hobby, group, (every sort, Politics, religions, "non" profit's, every group.
Bikers just happen to be a rare group, that Acknowledges each other, even when doing 80+ down the freeway.
SO HAS MORE WHEEL'S, Like a Semi-truck, So has a better odd's of having one that SQUEAKS. (It's the Squeaky wheel that gets noticed)

"harley"? riders (nklr)
10-4 on that!As for bikes, Harley just another tool in the shed for riding, and we all know it's better to keep your hands on the bars, eyes on the road and your head on a swivel.
You never know where Santas rain deer are going to pop out in front of you.
Happy Turkey day!!
Looking like a nice day 45 and not raining yet, I think it's time to take the cabbage patch kid for a spin and check for flood damage.
Enjoy the day!

Heck, I have over 100K miles on BMW's Over 100K miles with the two bikes in my garage. They know that and respect that as I do their choices.
LOL! Every once in awhile, I'll even do a Poker Run with them on my KLR .
Harley's Love them. Not Waving? I at times am looking the wrong way, or just lost in thought, OR HAND ON CLUTCH. LOL The Topic many relate to "Harley" riders, MORE relates to SNOBS, and too many ride a Harley. I've had people on BMW's Make SNIDE remarks about, "How clean my bike is" And they had to be at least 200 ft away. Clean? It had been on the road for 1,400+ miles, and not even been rained on, YET. The old saying is, "ASS HOLES, EVERY BODY HAS 1" Well, so does every sport, Hobby, group, (every sort, Politics, religions, "non" profit's, every group. Bikers just happen to be a rare group, that Acknowledges each other, even when doing 80+ down the freeway. SO HAS MORE WHEEL'S, Like a Semi-truck, So has a better odd's of having one that SQUEAKS. (It's the Squeaky wheel that gets noticed) On Thursday, November 27, 2014 8:17 AM, "achesley43@... [DSN_KLR650]" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> wrote: I agree with Ron.

All of the riders that knows me knows I'm not gonna be on a crusier and always ask how my KLR or Bandit is doing. And, they know that lots of my rides are on roads they don't prefer to ride their 15 to 30 thousand dollar bikes on even if they had the skill to do it.On Nov 27, 2014, at 5:37 AM, "mark ward nomad59@...

"harley"? riders (nklr)
I think the term "Harley riders" fits the bill fine, since everyone
knows what you're talking about. There are some exceptions, as I know a
few good people who do ride Harleys, but for the most part they have
their issues.
Case in point, the simple act of waving to other riders. It's supposed
to be a biker wide thing, you wave to oncoming bikes. Whether it's an
actual wave, or a tip of the helmet. They're the only group who doesn't
feel they can wave to the other riders who are below them, but they will
wave to other Harley riders.
Just like how they are too cool to wear a helmet. Or is that too stupid,
maybe they're one in the same. For people with half a brain wearing a
helmet is just common sense, and not something to be ignored in the face
of fashion.
I too believe that a true biker is someone who likes everything on two
wheels, not just one make or model. If you just want to ride Harleys,
you obviously aren't in it for the enjoyment factor, you're in it for
the status.

doohickey "got'r done!" decals available
I suggest that there are riders who need the ego support of assumed superiority because of cost or a bike that offers immediate acceptance into a "lifestyle" that is exclusive to a brand. That is not to exclude those who might want to be perceived as macho 'bad boys'. True lovers of motorcycles appreciate many other characteristics other than mere ownership of a bike but recognize a rider that sees the technology that M/C contain the accomplishments of a rider, the creation of a specialized bike that had to be modified to meet specialized riding demands and who loves the camaraderie with other riders. As rider we engage in an activity that is inherently more dangerous than the general public can understand and yet we do it for reasons WE understand so there is a characteristic that unites us.
Have a nice Thanksgiving.
