It's not that I'm upset that people here think their bikes are the best. Your bike is yours...you should love it.
BUT what I absolutely abhor is everyone's elitist stance on the subject. I've ridden HDs and dig them just fine. As I have ridden Hondas and an assortment of other rides. I'd have 20 bikes of all makes and models if I could afford them. And I'd ride them all.
There was a thread on ratnet where someone was looking to buy either a Thruxton or that GT1000 or whatever that cafe'd Ducati is called. Someone gave THE BEST advice I've ever heard for purchasing a motorbike. Said to go sit on each one, take each one for a test ride, and buy the one that makes you grin the widest.
That's what riding is about...getting your fat butt off the couch or out of the office and just grinning like an idiot all day because you're experiencing your little slice of heaven for the day. Some people grin on Triumphs, others grin on Vespas. Just get out there and start grinnin'
