I was on my way home today and stopped at a stoplight. A BMW motorcycle pulled up in the lane next to me. I looked over as he looked at me and said hi. He immediately looked away and wouldn't look back over. We were side by side 5 feet apart. When the light turned green, he revved it up and took off. I made my right turn and went my way thinking, "What a snob!"

That guy was obviously not a true AMERICAN. Sure, his bike is more technologically advanced, has better performance, and is more reliable and all that, maybe like jap bikes even, but that is no excuse for riding one. He would not look at you because he was so ashamed of being unAMERICAN. A true AMERICAN would ride a HARLEY. Why did we even fight WWII for anyway? To ride BMW's?

I guess because the North fought the South we better not buy anything from "the other side".

RE: Snob
Maybe the guy was shy.
I ride 18 miles to work each morning. And every morning I pass this guy on a dual purpose bike and he never waves to me. I gave him a wave the first few times we passed but he never returned the wave. He actually sorta looks like a Harley guy. Big stomach, big beard. I figure since we have the same commute (just in reverse) and most days he is the only biker I see he would wave.
But I guess to each their own.

RE: Snob
I rode 3700 miles this summer with a companion on a RT1100. He followed me the whole way, never once complaining about going slow (70), or spending an extra day getting my cam chain tensioners changed, having to stop more frequently for gas. Perhaps he was being generous, or maybe he was snickering in his helmet the whole way.
He did compliment the way my Ultra handled corners saying he didn't think a HD could corner as fast I was going without scraping the floorboards.
He had NO problems at all, and getting 50 mpg the whole way. I was more comfortable on my bike, while he commented how bad his butt hurt after 400 mile days. And his wrists were sore too.
He was impressed by the number of other bikers that were waving at him (?).[sm=happybounce.gif]
