I prefer to mock the typical (these days) checkbook biker, and 99% of the time they ride Harleys. I also know a few old grizzled "real" bikers who put my annual number of miles to shame on their Harleys.
But our bikes are better. Harley's build quality has improved vastly over the past 10 years, but they're just catching up to Triumph. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a Harley rider talking about problems with his or her bike (or witnessed the problems myself), I'd certainly own one of each model of Triumph by now.
Sorry, man, but I'm not buying your flailing here. Does it go too far? Probably. But so what? Gives us something to talk about BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH OUR BIKES TO PREOCCUPY OURSELVES. Duh!
