Quote: Besides, we all know the Royal Enfield riders are the only REAL motorcyclists....
That's right I almost forgot.
Here's the deal... Most of the HD bashing is against the sheeple attitude of some of the people that ride harleys, not neccesarily the bikes themselves. A lot of HD owners over the last few years have bought harleys because, "it's a harley". Heck, most of them don't even ride the things.
Most of us can give an inteligent reason as to why we bought our bikes, why we made the descision to buy a Triumph over any other brand or Triumph model other than saying with a glazed over look and spouting, "Well, it's a Triumph".
There is a guy at work, he owns two harleys (has almost only owned HDs for many many many years). He's a good guy. He and I are always giving each other crap about each other's bikes. But, when we are talking seriously about our bikes we both inteligently discuss why we like our bikes. He is not a sheeple. He bought those bikes not because they are HDs, but because he had reasons that he likes them. Yes, he is mostly brand loyal, but you will never hear him seriously say, "Because it's a Harley".
