Just a theory, but I think the reason the sentiment here seems to be against going to most any large gathering of motorcyclists is that it comes with the breed.

One of the major reasons we've all bought Triumphs in the first place is that we tend to be people who are, as the slogan on my old Triumph T-shirt said..."A Breed Apart". And so going to any function that involves a like-minded group, just doesn't appeal to most of us. And, we tend to know that getting anywhere on a capable and fun to ride machine is really where it's all at, anyway.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
