I dont have that problem here in mighty Texas. Most of the guys I ride with are harley riders. Its that they are so common, and not really better quality than other bikes. plus they cost twice the cash.
The only Harley snobs I meet are wannabes or squids not realy bikers, and don't know poop from shoe shine about bikes. If they did they would know that triumph was the first to produce motorcycles. They also buy a bike with out even concidering what kind of riding they want to do, and end up laying it down in a twisty somewhere. Then the news report comes out and bikes are demonized again. Last but not least they dress like they are in a catalog photo shoot.
This is the way of the squid though they ruin everything by pretending instead of learning.
