RE: When I pull up to a non-HARLEY
I'm usually thinking that THEY are thinking I'M all about what you guys posted above. SO instead I surpise them and say hi and tell them to keep it safe, nice bike (if it is).... rubber side up that kind of thing.
I don't subscribe to that better than you mentality because a bike don't make me better than anyone. It just means I have better taste...
I love all bikes. Cause I like to ride.
Don't hate---Appreciate

To me it really does not matter what anyone rides.As long as they ride and ride safe.I have an HD UC,2 Valkyries(one is a triked Interstate),and a Yamaha off-road bike.I'll even wave to a biker on a Beemer!!!!!!!! I think anyone that assumes the risk that comes with the sport of riding has the freedom to choose what kind of bike he rides.When I pull up to anyone on my Ultra it I give them a [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Damn, maybe you are better than most, but you really should have some compassion and empathy for those less fortunate than you.

1st thought, just thinking about being friendly. 2nd thought, man is it really possible that guy paid 1/2 as much for that bike that will take 1/2 the repairs as mine...... it's all good

I don't. I don't feel anything like that. It seems to me that if they wanted a Harley they'd find a way to get one, like FirstHarley above.
Until then at least they are in the wind.

I usually say one of two things....
1. Nice bike ya got there.
2. Good day for a ride, huh ???
I'm don't ride a Harley, but, when I DO see one, I've NEVER thought,
"Gee, I wish I could afford one" ( I can, but right now, choose not to), nor am I jealous of Harleys.
and no one should feel sorry for us if some folks don't ride one.
I think FirstHarley summed it up well..
"To me it really does not matter what anyone rides.As long as they ride and ride safe"
