I love owning and riding motorcycles and don't mind what brand others ride or wish they owned. I look at many brands and appreciate their style and technologies, be it Japanese, British, Italian, German or domestic. However, I think people who refuse to ride with someone because of the bike they ride are just snobs. Just my rant. What is funny, I work for a German company in Michigan and several German employees think Harleys are cool and have new bikes shipped to Germany thru the company to impress their friends. Go figure.
