Been there done that. The other way around also.

I wore a Harley Tee Shirt at a bike night in Indy a couple of years back. Rode my Busa there. Had a guy ask me why I was wearing the shirt.(like it was the wrong thing to do) Told him that I could not afford a Harley. He kind of smiled about that. I went on to tell him that I didn't think I could afford something that went slow and took a while to stop either but the Shirt was on sale when I bought it. He quit smiling for some reason after that??? Harley riders can be fun to mess with at times.
As a footnote, I have owned five(5) different Harleys over the years too. Am not one of those Harley haters either.

No Busa jacket but I've ridden my Harley with my Corona jacket.
Left my Busa at a friends house for detailing and picked up my Harley.
I know I looked funny....so I just laughed the whole way home.
I think people buy a bike with a reputation and get into it too much
with prima donna attitudes. Both camps. I could care less, I ride what I like.
LOL - So he didn't like it, he's entitled to an opinion. Big deal.
Those bastards, they downtalked a Hayabusa.....how dare they....get a lynching party.

Yup, you got that right. To each his (her) own. You just have those snobs on Massey Ferguson's .. oops I mean Harley's that they think they're it because they ride a bike from the "motor company" and then you have the others that are RIDERS no mater what they ride. So just ignore those apes and wave at them anyway. Sooner or later they'll catch on that we ALL are riders and should stick together. Like the old saying goes : all for one and one for all !

Shows the age gap.
Yes, I've read the several threads for Harleys and Cruisers
on about 4 of the various HD forums I'm a member of too.

I look at mine as a $25,000 stereo. That's about all it got used for at the Dragon this last weekend.I try to acknowledge other riders on the road including hawg riders as well but they seem to be a bit snobby. So I console myself by thinking that they are riding the finest chrome-plated boat anchors on the planet...I feel much better now....
I ride my Busa with a Harley jacket all the time! Great public reactions.
Yup, me too. My husband thinks someone's gonna kick my butt one of these days - especially when I'm wearing my "Harley Chicks Kick Butt" shirt on the 'busa. But, it hasn't happened yet. I live on the edge.
I like to tell people that i'm a member of HOG ( Hayabusa owners group )
Frisbee that made me laugh out loud
+1 - that comment made no sense to me either.age gapPM -->

etcdamn how old do you gotta be to ride a harley?
Appears that snobs ride all kinds of motorcycles, here...and there. Why anyone gives a shiite is what I don't get. No response needed thank you, that was a rhetorical statement.

I ride a big twin and a Busa.
I almost never wave first, but I do wave back reguardless of what bike I am on. And when on the twin, sportbike riders rarely never wave first. Sometimes they do when I am in my full face black on black Arai.
I don't take it personal or care why they may not have waved. It never mattered that much to me what a stranger does.

I experience this sometimes to. I came to the conclusion a couple of years ago. When a friend I worked with asked me that. "His brother-in-law wanted to know why people on other bikes wave to him." That some people just don't know its custumary to wave to fellow bikers. As more people start riding because of gas prices it will become more common.
age gapdamn how old do you gotta be to ride a harley?
No requirement age, they just tend to be older as a whole,
more established in their lives, and more mature in general.
The price of the bikes keep them out of reach for many young guys.
There are more kids riding sport bikes then Harleys.
They're cheaper, they're more fun, and crazier, but along with
that comes alot of whiney punks who complain about alot of dumb things.
By no means does this stereotype EVERYONE into either category,
I'm speaking in the sense of "generally speaking"
It's just an observation from my experience in both scenes.
I consider a Hayabusa somewhere in between, hence it's a Sport touring bike.
So you have a little of both for this club.
