Yes, winter is here. I'm starting to watch YouTube vids of cycles going down the road. When watching I lean left and right during the tight turns. I'm thinking of putting a fan in front of me to get the feel of the wind in my face.

You stated we; "We're out of the box. Rebels. We go our own way. Make out own rules. Live by our own codes." Then live by your words and never mind what little brother is doing! To each his own! Move on or get out of the way.

I have had 3 Yamaha/Star bikes and they did not look like those I rode with. There were a $hitload of accessories for my bikes and they were of great quality. As for clothing, you're right--the lines are limitedm but that is because Yamaha/Kawasaki/Suzuki make their money on their bikes, whereas the MOCO makes more revenue from everything other than the bikes. Of course they are going to have a larger line--it is their cash cow.

And why is it such a BFD? Ride your bike. Be happy. And why care about others? Usually those who cut others down are feeling inferior themselves.

Well I can say that I was a serious bad boy from day one. Check out this serious biker look the day I bought my SG. Watch out world, this one could be trouble.
"Which lever is the clutch again?" Good Grief!!

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but..........

As long as a person stays out of my business I could give a damn about what they do, how they dress, what they ride, or anything else, as it just isn't my business..

I've owned and ridden nothing but Harley's since the early 1970's, but who cares if someone else prefers a different brand. Far as I'm concerned as long as someone is out there on 2-wheels doing what they enjoy it doesn't matter what they are riding..

Nothing personal towards anyone, but I sometime get the impression that some think they deserve 'respect' or a special 'status' in the motorcycle community just because of the make of bike they are riding.

Just my opinion but to me 'respect' isn't given to any rider just because they ride a Harley, it's something earned over time by a rider, and it has nothing to do with the type of bike they ride....
