So I got off of work and was riding out to meet a few guys for a drink and some food. I was on the road for literally 3 minutes and pull up to a stop light. I can hear a harley next to me and I hear the guy yellin to me. I look over and he says "sweet bike brother. Keep the shiny side up". I thought to myself...I just got some love from a guy on a harley, thats cool. I turn left at the light and we part ways.
Well, probably 5-6 minutes down the road I come up behind a guy in a pick-up doing 10 under the speed limit. I was 2-3 car lengths behind him when he whips off the side of the road and starts waving both his arms out of his window at me. I stopped next to him and he starts cussing up a storm and screaming at me. He was saying that its "you sport bike guys that give us REAL bikers a bad name...blah blah blah" I interrupted him and said "whoa whoa whoa, first of all, you don't know me and how I ride and second, don't classify me with sport bike riders. I ride a busa...it's in a class of its own" I smiled and rode off.
I just thought it was weird how one minute I was hearing praise from a harley guy (which never happens for a guy on a jap bike) and then just moments later I was getting b!tched out by one in a truck. OK, rant over
