I really don't like my local dealer's service scheduling

Jeeze, you guys are rough on the HOG. Virtually every brand of bike has some sponsored/endorsed owners club. Triumph, BMW, Ducati, Honda, Victory, etc. For some riders, it is a great way to meet people and ride, others not so much. Although I don't personally belong, I'm not about to dish out a ration to someone that does and gets something out of it. Ease up.

I’ve been back in HOG for just a few years, but one thing that I’ve come to understand is that HOG members (at least in my chapter) generally enjoy themselves and their chapter activities, and really don’t give a fig for the opinions of HOG critics. I sometimes feel a bit sorry for those sour ****** who seem to think denigrating HOG members (or any other group who appear to be having more fun than them) makes them somehow superior. Maybe they just have low self-esteem...(?)
And have you noticed how often the badasses here (not naming any names!) who proclaim so loudly that they don't care about anyone else's opinion seem to expect others to care about theirs? I really get a chuckle about that!

I agree that indeed, no good deed goes unpunished. But I also suspect you took my intentions a bit too seriously. My thought is if a person expects or accepts deferential treatment because of some group bestowed title, and puts it out in a forum for everyone to see, they should expect and accept a few elbows to the ribs.
I didn't read anything in this thread that seemed mean or overboard. It reads as a little snarky, smart *** fun to me. I laughed, and I would be willing to bet the HOG officers did too. Why are you so serious?

Admittedly, a little good-natured ribbing can sometimes be misunderstood in written text without the benefit of face-to-face contact. Therefore, put out in the context you intended, I agree it was not mean or overboard and I laughed too - not at the target, but with him. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
