Nice Honda, brings back memories for sure.
You did good with that a-hole for sure, but next time "*** off azzhole"would be a better line, IMO.

Isn't it funny how stories will take you back. My dad bought us one when we were kids and my mom decided she would take it for a spin around the yard, she hadn't ever rode anything on 2 wheels. Needless to say it wasn't pretty, she ran up an oak tree about 6 feet and I still remember waiting to see if she was alright before I busted out laughing. The look on her face was priceless.
Imagine my first bike, a Honda Rebel 250 at 14 and I weighed 260 pounds.
I have really enjoyed this post,I love this place

I remember the old Trail 70. Rode a couple myself but never owned one. I would have gotten a kick out seeing your little scoot. The guy who said "dick" was just a jerk. H-D or not, a jerk is a jerk. It's not even about brand of bike. That guy probably rode a similar little machine himself when he was a kid, but would'nt admit it. Best thing to do just ignore him.

do what YOU FEEL.. That's the bottom line. we are all different (thank god) I always figure the truth is it. done deal.
If someone doesn't like it. so be it but respect is what we all deserve (with truth)..

That is a cool Honda 70, I guess about all of us guy around 50 had one or remember akid with one. I lived in an area with a lot of kids and we had pretty much every thing on wheels from mini bikes, dirt bikes to rail buggies.
But back to the original subject "How to treat Non H-D." The way I look at it it all about the "ride" not what you "ride". I've had a kinds of bike in my life and now own a Harley, my son rides a rice burner, a crotch rocket. Am I not suppose to ride with my son or ignore him because he is young and wants to ride whats cool to him. Now that is stupid.
People need to get over the hating of others just because what they choose to ride. I know people who dislike folks just because the brand of bike they choose to ride. I say that is crazy.
And then you throw in the crotch rocket crowd in the mix ....... and the stunts they pull. I am glad I aint 20 again because I know I would be one of those "hated" things doing 160 on the back wheel. Because I was crazy at 20. It was only by the grace of God that I made it to 50 and able to ride a Harley. I hope and pray my son lives to see the day he can grow out of his crotch rocket as well.

Don't say a word. Just hand him a big dollop of vaseline and walk away. That'll show em.. or they'll think your one crazy MF and avoid you like the plague.

Hey, Crazy, very nice looking ride (and Mrs. I might add)! And, from the looks of you, the LAST thing I'd be calling you in person is "dick" or anything else inflammatory! LOL. You been eatin' your Wheaties, ain't ya' boy! 
You probably did what the rest of us would want to do. It's all good.

If you parked next to me. I'd say cool bike. I used to have one and it was the best of times. Thinking about getting one for my youngest. I always tell my kids, no matter where you are or where you go, there are a$$holes everywhere...
