You need to ride with them so that there will be at least one cool bike in the bunch. It's all about balance man...

Give them a chance, take them up on the ride. If it turns out to be a Harley bashing then you know who not to ride with next time.

I think you may have problems beyond being a schmuck. There's a lot of different types of folks that own/ride motorcycles and I'm one of 'em.

You meet the nicest people on a Honda.
You meet schmucks like you on a Harley, thanks for keeping up the neg report on HD riders. (shaking head)

Ride with them guy, you might realize they are real people -nevermind what they ride.

Look at it this way--you are the ambassador from HarleyLand. Over time you will sell them on a better choice simply by being there.

In utter disbelief over this post, I read it aloud to my hubby out in the other room. He said the first thing he would ask is "is this really a serious post"? I don't know if you are or not, but to answer your question, "schmuck", or "snob" as someone else called you, are the absolute NICEST words to describe someone with your attitude, which contributes to the sometimes negative views about Harley riders. The day I start thinking the way you describe is the day I hope someone steals my Harley.

Awesome. Sounds like they like you and want to ride with you.

Ouch. Guess they don't know you that well.

Not according to the statement you just made.
