Default I get it!!! I finally get it!

I have to admit it, I was a BMW snob. Riding my upper class motorrad around the country, and trying to understand why anyone would want to ride anything different, especially a HD, which costs about the same amount of money. My little elite group of Beemerfiles would sit around and laugh at all the HD riders blinging out their rides, wearing the same clothes and acting like bad *** biker wannabe's. After 3 years and 60,000 miles on the 1150RT it was time for a new ride. Well, I have to admit, I wanted to find out what the HD draw was all about. So I went down to the dealer, plunked down some coins and brought home a new 07 RKC. After a month of riding I only have one thing to say...'THIS IS WHAT MOTORCYCE RIDING IS ALL ABOUT". Forget the expensive, techno geared, ballistic outfitted foreign rides, this is the way GOD intended humans to travel. High torque, rumble up the spine motoring that only the living can appreciate. I say let the other crotch rocket motor freaks have their fun, for in the end they will all get the calling and come home to the MoCo. By the way, I still get a chuckle from the way we all dress. RIDE ON MY BROTHER AND SISTER HARLEY DAVIDSON LOVING FOOLS, FOR ONE DAY WE WILL INHERIT THE INTERSTATES.

BMW a "upper class motorrad"??? EXCUSE ME!!! Now a BMW snobcycleI will believe. We had a meet and greet last weekend, and 3 guys on beemers rode in to the restaurant. They had their noses up in the air, doing their "gay walk" (hips swinging like runway models), holding their helmets by the chin strap and twirling them... I JUST WANTED TO COLD **** THOSE SISSYS!!

Welcome to the real world.
