I love all the talk about 1%'ers, when in reality a sportbiker is just as likely to be a gang member as a Harley rider. Yet Harley riders are the ones who get all the "badass gang member" image from the clueless non-riding public.

Harley riders don't seem to mind having that image, though. It lets the dentists and lawyers think of themselves as "edgy".

I haven't gotten to experience the Sporty hatred yet (just completed MSF course, haven't started riding yet), but as a former Mustang owner I never once tried to mess with anyone on Harley. The only people I handed spankings to were the rice burners in their Hondas that thought they could beat me
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Please tell me he isn't serious

Maybe he meant a Honda Ruckus.

For the record, "clueless non-riding public" includes the majority of HD owners and some sportbikers.

Funny and that is very "normal" for most chopper and many hd riders. It's sad. I have had all the above including sportbikes and I never believed any one was better than the other. They are all just different.

Sometimes true but not always. Understand that not all HD t-shirts are made by HD. Many are done by approved vendors licensed to use HD logos.
