You have to know it is not everybody that feels that way.There will always be the boneheads out there just a fact of life.All I have ever wanted to own is a Harley Davidson motorcycle and have since 1962,because it is a motorcycle like yours.No need for anyone to be treated the way you were and if I or people like me saw that happen you can bet we would have said something.

That's f'd up dude. If anyone in the group I ride with ever did something like that it would be the last time they rode with us.
My Yamaha has only been spit on 3 times. That specific incident was #3. Not by the friends i ride with. These 3 incidents have been over a period of 5 years, so it's few and far between in my opinion. I do live/work/ride in some areas that have a high population of backwoods morons. I don't sweat about it much, just wondering if any of you were aquaintences of bozos like this (no insult intended)? I actually have a high tolerance for BS when it comes to friends. My friends harass me for being on a rice burner and i harass them for leaking oil. It's all in fun.

Actually seen a Victory last week that was cruising with a CBR off the Air Force Base. It looked like a good ride with a good riding position. There are some asses around here (where I live). One of them ride a black Honda Shadow with just head pipes that will pass you in your own lane. I seen him cut-off a school bus last week full of kids. There are ****** in all walks of life with all brand associations. Not just in the Harley world.

I'm afraid if something like that happened to my bike, there'd be an ambulance called for somebody!

No good reason for it, but that behavior certainly doesn't surprise me. When you get a large group of wannabe bad asses in one place they are bound to act up, especially when alcohol enters into the equation.

Nothing like slugging a guy with a big chaw in his mouth. The smart ones spit it out when they know its commin.
