Yes there is a lot of tongue in cheek in all that is said on here. However and here's the rub. Can you tell me why most Harley and BMW riders fail to acknowledge a raised hand from an oncoming biker; unless they are riding the same make of bike. When I started biking back in the seventies there was huge camaraderie between bikers. A bike always slowed down if you were parked up just to check you didn't need assistance. I've been in a few clubs over the years and never stayed because of the bores who only drone on about Ducati's or Harley's or Beemer's. If your daft enough to get on two or three wheels in the first place you deserve my respect whatever your piloting.
