Not all HD riders are jerks. But some can be sensitive, when talking about their HD. Heaven for bid, if you say, nice metric bike. Many of them are too good to wave back. But there are some, on other bikes, that don't bother either. And yes, there are some out there, that will say, my bike is better because, blah blah blah. Just because it's better for you, doesn't mean it is better for me. In my time, I have found more HD owners, looking down, at anything other then any HD.
