I'm suprised at you Schu- We don't hate each other, we hate ourselves, that's why we always say things like- I shoulda bought a suzuki, or - Why did I let that girl get me drunk and screw me ?

It's just the internet tough guy phenomenon.
I have never met a rider on the road, whether Harley or metric, that wasn't friendly. I often wonder if half of the posters (with or without the "T") on this forum actually own a bike and, if they do, if they actually ride it.
I rode a Sportster (and a purple one at that) all over hell and never had anyone tell me that it, or I, was "girly." Conversely, I've never had anyone on the road tell me I was on a "rolling sofa" since I've been on the RKC. Again, I just think this is internet BS.
Oh, and btw, I like you OK, Schu.

schu has a valid point. it wasn't always like this either. i think it's got nothing to do with the brotherhood of biking but more with the state of how the world has changed in general. prices are up and wages are down. a hard working blue collar working man is not enough to support and raise a family these days. you have to make the wife work a 40+ hour a week job and 20+ hours of over time for the dad in order to just keep your head above the water. THAT wasn't always like that either. people are under tremendous amounts of pressure. other's say "don't live beyond your means" i have to ask wtf this really means. does that mean that if i work at mcdonalds i have to live in a shack, have no tv, and take the bus everywhere i go? then other say "get an education" pffft. if you come from a poor family that is a challenge just to try and manage to get a loan and then spend the next ten years paying it back.
people are f'in pissed off and everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else as to why it's like this and who's fault it is. i wish i had the answer...
