As a matter of fact another tech has two cars in the shop all the time...

The only time I've ever encountered that kind of attitude was from Metric riders and we all know deep down they are Harley Wannabees. LOL

So. If that is the case, why don't you just ask your boss point blank, why he is discriminating against you.

Wear it as a badge of honor.

Might think about trying to find the 'right job' with the 'right people' if you really feel singled out. No fun, is no fun!

Bigsky, you should move to Florida, we have a group from the forum that likes to do serious riding year round. Of course you would lose the 4 seasons and mountainous terrain but hey there are trade offs with everything.

Streetglider, dont be so sensitive, hell with em.

Because they want to ride, ride, ride. Not go to the local, pound a few down, ride to then next bar, pound a few down, etc.... If not that they (Harley riders) didn't want to got too far. A round trip of 200 miles was all they wanted on a Saturday or Sunday. I'm more into 3-500 mile days, with a nice lunch, and a couple of water breaks....You'll connect with who fits you best.. It has a way of working out.... Oh, and charity runs can always be fruitful for meeting folks that enjoy riding.....

Envy and Jealousy, Simply put as Losers !. Move on and do your own thing. No need to dwell on those little people who bark about crybaby problems.

What goes around comes around,

For the metric riders giving grief about how supeior thier Yamhondauki thing is I just say.."wife won't let you buy one huh!!" and watch the sputtering begin.
As far as the boss, I am the boss at my plant and I have three other riders in their with me if they so sesire to use the bay. So we are not all bad.
