I had the same reaction from a " Real bike rider" at work. It went on for a couple of weeks. I finally shut him up by telling him that I would meet him at the local Honda dealer on our next off day and that I would be happy to ride any motorcycle that he would buy for me. Haven't heard a peep from him since.

I'd buy a "real bike", but I don't want to work on a harley every week, don't enjoy wearing pirate costumes, don't smoke camel non-filters, don't enjoy loud exhaust pipes, don't like to ride slow, and prefer wearing my full face helmet instead of risking "drain bamage". But that's just me. My little brother, on the other hand, loves that kind of stuff...
Don't worry, ride happy...

Then just how are you supposed to be a "Rugged Individualist" Without riding the "Acme" of technological mass Production and dressing exactly alike?  |

But really there isn't such a thing as a "Real Bike". If you ride a motorcycle, eventually someone on a Harley will say you ought to get a real bike. The Indian bike riders will say you ought to get a real bike if you are on a Harley. Then if you get a Harley, a guy on a touring bike will say you ought to get a real bike. Then if you got the HD touring bike, a guy on a custom chopper style bike will say it it you too. You cannot win. Heck the Sport bike guys will say you ought to get a real bike instead of your "Geezer Glide" too.
