Okay Dwight here's an example you asked for. There is a very young hard working kid at the shop who fit's your stereotype of all Harley Davidson riders. He's 20 years old so he obviously cant have 30+ years of riding experience but he found a clean 1200 Sportster one of the last carbureted models with dual front discs. This young man loves his bike but is just beginning and learning so it's no surprise that he's focused on Sportsters and Harley Davidson in general and probably has no idea what a Vincent Black Shadow was.
By the same standard there are several other young riders at work one has a Suzuki GSX and he has no idea why anyone would ever want to ride a Triumph Bonneville, Harley Sportster or any Indian for him it's 10,000 RPM rolling wheelies and riding on the edge on the street all the time. He scoffs at anything that cant hang at 150 miles per hour (that mean's your bike and mine). He is interested in only the latest technology and he also has no idea what a Vincent Black Shadow was nor does he care.
It's the same with car enthusiasts. Let's see if we can conjure up some images: The V8 Mustang or Camaro driver in jeans and a t-shirt doesn't respect the kids with slammed Honda Civics that have 6 inch tail pipe extensions while the Euro snob Porsche drivers look down on everyone. Yea, go ahead and see if a Porsche driver is going to compliment a classic 1969 Camaro or Mustang. What's the difference between a Porsche and a Porcupine? Porcupines have the pricks on the outside!
