I am not new to riding, been riding for 30 years. From dirt bikes, sport bikes and Harleys. Why is it that sport bike riders laugh and call people a squid while riding a sport bike in just jeans and a tshirt but yet its socially acceptable to do so on Harley or big cruiser? Do sport bike riders lay down their bikes more then Harley riders and need the extra protection? If it is sociably acceptable for me to ride my cruiser in steel toe boots, jeans and a tshirt, why cant I ride my busa the same way without being called names?? What makes a sport bike different to be made fun of while wearing the same on a cruiser?? I dont ride my busa any more aggressively then I do my Harleys and I am sure a Harley can go down with as much ease as any sport bike..Does the full leather onesie, gloves and stiff ski boots you cant walk in give you a higher social status like drinking a starbucks over dunkin donuts coffee?? Makes no sense to me why its ok to call someone a squid on one bike, but not on another for wearing the exact same thing.... I dont think I ever been to a Harley event where a rider showed up in full motoGP gear on a StreetGlide, yet people get in full GP gear to get a loaf of bread on a sport bike. Its mind boggling.. Im sure I will be crucified for this and burned at the stake and will get those who preach atgatt and those who will say ride what you are comfortable in. Oh and for the record, I laid down a bike or two in my time, still didnt see the need for full motoGP gear..I ride what I ride in regardless of what people say, just curious as to why its ok for one but not the other...
