imo, there was a time when it wouldn've mattered what I rode.
I don't think you woulld've caught me on a japanese bike back in the 40's or 50's because of ww2.  but they are our allies now, and own alot of the US debt, which should be extremely emberassing for Americans like me.

tires should be replaced because they are worn out, not dry-rotted!

I like that two inch chicken strip of wear right down the middle of the tire..

but they will not ride with you because you do not have the crotch rocket they have, or you don't have the H-D........well ok fine your lose..........not mine

Posers, certainly there are many of those around.  Also there are brand specific guys as well..... and they seem to be first time bike owners.

We all are kind of brand specific types.  Hence why we join brand specific forums.  Being an old fat balding guy, hell, I will ride with anybody on anything.

bikerbob, it is like what I call posers, they get permission from their wives to go for a ride, they ride over to Timmies (Tim Hortons Coffee Shop) park in the front, get a coffee, few smokes. Then ride about 10 miles and back to Timmies, coffee smokes, been gone for a couple hours now have to go home.......

or

they have permission to go for a ride on the weekend but have to be home by noon.......lol.......

but they will not ride with you because you do not have the crotch rocket they have, or you don't have the H-D........well ok fine your lose..........not mine

To those who really understand what it's about.......naw..........it doesn't matter what you ride. The REAL newbies just kill me.........they swagger and pose and stand out front of the Bar at happy hour and talk the talk. It's a whole new world, and I'm glad I'm not a part  of it..........I like the past, thank you......

Well said.

When we went west for 3 weeks we rode our Goldwing...

It is so nice to have options.  I rode the southwest with my Goldwing too.

Here is my campsite in New Mexico.

Then down at the Grand Canyon on our scooters:

I will even ride a real scooter:

I am still trying to figure out how to mount my chair on a bike....

You can ride on anything, it doesn't really matter at all. Even riding aroun on a scooter in the bahamas I felt like a lttle badass and happy. Good times.

Amen.  Here I am riding down in Arizona on my 600cc Silverwing.

Here is a close up to inspect my safety equipment.

1.  hat to keep the bald spot from getting sun burned.
2.  sun glasses to keep my eyesight.
3.  sun blocker on my arms.
4.  jeans to keep my legs from burning.
5.  tennis shoes to save my toes instead of flip flops.
6.  water bottle to keep hydrated.
7.  GPS so we don't get lost in the desert.
8.  38 in the dash compartment to keep from being mugged.

We were on our way to see the Jack Ass Acres.  I fit right in.

As long as you're having fun and being safe, it really doesn't matter what brand or style you ride.

The way i see it... No matter what you ride.. we are all family.. we all share the same common interest.. Yeah, some folks have attitudes, and that's something that can't be helped. But anyway you look at it.. Riding is riding. (been all across the board with bikes on this side.. From 80's Maxims, Magnas, Sabres, to 2000's Crotch Rockets to Cruisers. Loved every one of them to the end.
