[QUOTE="Leonard D Neubache, post: 1280343, member: 11069"] I certainly don't think it's the case for everyone who rides a HD but a lot of it is game/frame substitute. I always found it weird when I used to ride how you'd get these guys who did everything they could to pump up their image as a rider because to an extent it worked on the normies, but whenever they were in the presence of fellow riders they deflated like a slashed air mattress, even if the other riders were only on "shitty Jap bikes". You'd have the hog riders whose gear was shiny and new while they were trying to throw out the image that they were grizzled veterans. You'd have the crotch rocket crowd in their space-suits hoping nobody would notice the sissy lines tacking a mere inch from the center of their tires. And the girls would say "nice bike" before they sauntered over to the guy with frame who was riding a POS Yamaha that looked like it had been through multiple wars. Maybe things are different elsewhere or over the passing of time but during my stint riding bikes it was the most poisonous atmosphere to be in and I only really enjoyed myself when I was alone.
