ignorant people
 

I'm out in Greensboro, NC working at a trade show representing the place I work. Well I'm talking to a guy about bike week in Myrtle Beach and he tells me he has a heritage softail and I said that's cool, I've got a sportster 1200 custom. and he kind of smiles and says well I hate to tell you but you don't have much of a bike. I said I have to disagree with you my bike is a ton of fun to ride, then he walks off.... I just laughed...

Yes, ignorance is bliss.

RE: ignorant people
 

You did spit on him as he walked away, right? :D

RE: ignorant people
 

Let 'em laugh. That just shows which one of you are ignorant.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again... Anyone who says a Sporty is a girls/starter bike has never ridden one.

I love my "Entry level, Girl bike, half a harley". He probably made fun of your bike because he is a weekend warrior. It doesn't matter what you ride...just ride.

RE: ignorant people
 

Lots of ignorant people around, it's just the ones that speak that are the problem...

You should have offered to race him for pinks. Softails are slow as hell.

RE: ignorant people
 

He's probably never riden a Sportster, so he doesn't know what he's talking about. Which is OK. Don't like a$$ holes riding Sportsters....gives 'em a bad name.

As I always say, "It is better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and prove it"
That guy did a lot of provin'

I had a guy I use to work with who always gave mea hard time about my bike since he had a Road King. Finally I put him on it one day to shut him up, now he has a Sporty as well!
