[QUOTE="Beefhooked"] Are the majority here sport bike riders?? Maybe I`m in the wrong N/G, I thought this was aus.motorcycles. Maybe you think you are the majority, but it may surprise you how many non sport bike riders there are out there. Would it surprise you to know that 700 more CRUISERS were sold last year in Australia than Sport Bikes? In fact there were 1500 more SCOOTERS than Sport Bikes. 47% of all sales were DIRT BIKES. What I was alluding to in my previous post was that yes nearly everyone has an opinion on most motorcycles but the sport bike riders are the most VOCAL in this regard especially when it comes to Harley Davidsons. I have ridden Harley Davidsons for over 25 years and have never seriously put shit on another persons bike whether it is a scooter or a Golwing. However, I can recall many ocassions, when meeting riders of Jap sport bike riders for the first time, they would typically say to me " I suppose you wont ride with me cause your on a harley" This kind of reverse discrimination is unfortunately the norm. I consider myself a motorcycle enthusiast and I like all different types of motorcycles.(yes even Cossacks) Respect my choice I say - I respect yours. Good day[/QUOTE] So I suppose you won't ride with us because you're on a Harley then? ;-) Postman Pat
