It's one of the great mysteries of the universe!

Right up there with "Why do some people persist in trying to label and categorize others because of:

What they ride

What they accessorize their ride with

How they ride

What they wear when they ride

How much money they have or don't have

Where they live

What kind of oil they use

Where they put the gas cap, valve caps, etc.

It goes on and on.......
