    According to Tuscan Bob people don't ride Harley's they own Harley's. As far as blind allegiance I ride a Triumph. I have a Triumph belt buckle several t-shirts, and I've got Triumph stickers on my car, laptop, closet door, and the front head of my kick drum. Try approaching someone who drives a Corvette and you'll be met with the same pride and arrogance as you will with some Harley owners or an owner of any other machine. Why do we paint ourselves in our favorite sports teams colors and brave all kinds of weather to scream and act crazy. It's because we are Fans( which is short for fanatic). And yeah "grouse if you don't know you wouldn't understand is getting pretty lame. When asked why I ride a Triumph I answer with "my bike doesn't look or sound like any other bike, I wanted something different and more to my size, at 6ft2 150# my dinky Bonneville with its tiny 865cc motor is just the right size and has enough power to get me to where I want to go. It's not what you ride it's how you ride. I have several friends that own Harley's, and met one guy at the bowling ally who has a 1200 sportster we talk about rain, riding, racing, and general BS, you have to give respect to gain respect.
