The answer is usually no, I've never experienced it, people with that attitude generally ride Harley's in England, in fact the only bike my Brit riding mates take the piss out of is Harley, two wheel tractor and the lardarse mobil being some of the terms used to describe them, I find the whole snobbery thing ridiculous, outlaw clubs in the US ride Harley's partly because they are patriotic, but it wasn't always so, in this months Cafe Racer magazine (France) there is a montage of photos of the Outlaws motorcycle club in the sixties, most of them are riding Brit iron, there is even one guy on a BMW. The fact that most European 1% clubs are Harley only seems odd to me, why don't British clubs ride triumphs and Italian clubs ride Duke's and Guzzi's? some people are just insecure.maddog5150 said:heh you noticed that too? So I guess in England, are the Norton/Triumph riders similar to Harley riders here when it comes to Jap bikes?

Good point Frog- I've often noticed that in the early pics they seem to be mostly riding Triumphs- including Sonny Barger. Maybe this is something they dont want to be reminded of!
