I gotta honestly say that 99.9% of guys and gals on bikes I've met have been cool as hell.
Just curious, ever ran into one that was a total egotistical *****???
The other night a bunch of us were out late and parked next to a bike. As I was getting on mine, this guy came up to get on his bike and I tried to say hi and told him he had a nice bike, he didn't even acknowledge me and revved his bike louder than hell and blasted off....If Abercrombie made Harley crap, he'd be the spokesman....looked like something out of a comic book all dressed up like someone with way too much time, money, and people to impress.

Like I said in another thread with the same question,
He's just too miserable in his own skin. Don't fret it, his misery is his own. I've met them myself, I just shake my head and call them an ******* and I feel better. Like was said above, just ride.
People are like that everywhere. I used to get pissed and all jacked up but now I just try, I repeat try and tell myself I have no control over them nor do they over me unless I allow them to. Screw em and dont let them ruin a minute of your riding time
I haven't met any that are quite that bad in person...yet, but I know a Harley 'owner' on a linux mailing list I'm on who is the most egotistical, pompous and pretentious *** I've ever had the displeasure of reading and putting down whenever I can (I say 'owner', 'cause he doesn't or hasn't ever mentioned anything about 'riding' ever, which is sorta understandable since it'd far too off-topic in that mailing list).
