And for the record I dont hate HDs or the cats that ride 'em. Id love to be able to afford a Sporty to cut up. But it is undeniable that theres a certain arrogance amongst a good number of them. Just as there is a certain bullshit attitude amongst many sportbike riders, and (oh my!) vintage and cafe guys. Ive heard it all. The vintage Triumph guys telling me that my Honda is junk, to the HDs and sportbike guys asking me when Im buying a real bike. Ive also had a lot of great convorsations with folks from the same groups once the dick swingers head back to load theyre bikes on the trailer for the 40min ride home.
Just get out and ride/build whatever YOU want. The world isnt ending because someone calls a cat a dog or doesnt feel your vibe. Fuck the world. Leave it all in the rearview and ride.
