I think it's a few of 'us' and a few of 'them'.

I've known Harley riders that have said that anything other than a Harley is not a motorcycle. I've been to Show & Shines where they had an old Honda and a slegehammer where you could beat the bike with... Really ridiculous...

A lot of Jap bike riders have wasted their breath defending their bikes to me and making excuses for what they ride. I have had sport bike riders go on and on about Harleys being slow junk.

Personally I don't care what you ride. Most of the guys I ride with don't either (although most do ride Harleys, there's one Honda)

I've been told I'm unapproachable due to my looks and attitude. It doesn't bother me because I'm not a chatty person.

Lol... Yeah, I've been told I'm "intimidating". I kinda like it that way. People leave me alone.

I notice I can usually get a wave from a passing Jap rider,more than from passing "tough guys" on Harleys.

I'm a fan of damn near anything with two wheels and a motor. I don't give people a hard time if I dont care for their choice of ride

You probably just came across a group of snobs. They tend to flock together - nice folks flock with nice folks and snobs with snobs oftentimes.

Just ignore them and have fun
