Agreed. I don't particularly care WHICH bike. I remember stopping someplace and talking bikes with a guy at the bar. The question inevitably came up about what we rode. He sheepishly stated he had some old Yamaha. To which I responded, "Yeah, but DO YOU RIDE"? He smiled and stated, "Every day I can". Those are the guys that get the "low two finger peace sign wave" - not the "I have a $60,000 Bourget, I couldn't tell you what kind of cam I'm running, but gee I look good in all this new Harley gear" riders. Riding an older Harley I'm also particularly sensitive to bikes stuck on the side of the road. Those get the "Thumbs-Up/Thumbs-Down" to see if they need help.

Amen to that. I did manage to get out for a few days last weekend - Gorgeous.
