I might be in the minority here, but I'm honestly wondering if these thoughts I have are valid or if I'm just over-escalating the situation.
So I hate seeing HD stickers on the back of vehicles. Everytime I see them I think the driver is either someone trying to look cool or a kool-aid drinking ****. But theres a caveat to this; a little sticker with other riding stickers is ok - pride in the brand/riding. This morning I ran across a woman who had a sticker the size of her back window while dropping my daughter off at daycare and I went inside and she was wearing an HD leather jacket. So now I'm thinking she drinks the kool-aid. I don't know.
Maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe I'm judging people for the wrong reasons (she was parked in the middle of the driveway disallowing me to park next to her). Or maybe I have an actual hate.
I guess my question would be; is this a valid thing to think of people? Am I the only one who feels this way? I can't think of one Honda rider who drinks the Honda kool-aid. (Outside of that one old guy who's gone 3/4 out of the year riding his goldwing across the world.)
Annnnnd re-reading this I think I'm just a tard who's putting more unnecessary thought into a minuscule/trivial subject.
edit: Stop taking this seriously.

Reason: too many hurt butts.
I guess it's an honest question. I wonder sometimes and have seen the occasional guy all dressed up in riding gear and and no bike to be found. Guess if it makes them happy, I guess there could be worse things.
Do those stick figure families on the back of SUVs do anything for ya?
I view the stickers as a way to show what a person likes, be it motorcycle brands, sports teams, their family, the minor scholastic achievement of their offspring…
Me? I have an HD sticker, a Triumph sticker and an NHRA sticker. And I know I probably shouldn't try to break into a car with an NRA sticker. That might be a foolish thing to do.
There's a lot more important things out there to spend thought on. Such, as "Should I do something nice for my woman tonight so I can get laid," or "do I have enough gas in the tank to go on a b!tchin' ride?" Or "Am I gonna get flamed for making this post?"
Good point, genuine Harley owners have no Harley stickers on their cages. None on mine.
OTH, I am sure MOCO appreciates the free advertising.
Nothing like soccor mom in a mini-van promoting the product.
Kool-Aid swilling **** here I guess. The big ol sticker on the back of my truck is what makes me feel any kind of pride in the fact that I am in that thing. Sorry to say I am sitting here in my "office" right now wearing my Harley Davidson branded leather jacket too while there is an inch and half of new snow on the ground. I wear the leather because it is the most comfortable jacket I own for weather above 0 that isn't a static electricity generating nightmare to wear. MMMM Kool-Aid!
