I have to realize how "sensative" many are
as I dont want any hurt feelings or tears shed
from a little razzing, are the Chevy guys
as defensive when the Ford guys plug away? :) :) :)
Were I live Harley's rule, and name calling like
"rice burner" and "wannabe" are usually meant
in jest, though they always manage to pile up
a bunch of Jap bikes at Sturgis for the ritual
"rice burning"
interestingly, the tattooed ugly biker
is not the norm, believe me when I tell you
that most of the Rally bikers (sturgis, anyway) are
middle aged urban proffessionals, and the biking
craze has really caught on with many more enjoying
it especially on Harleys
ride to live, live to ride (can I say that, being a "rice burner"?)
Joe (wondering why there are so many trailers at Sturgis:) :) :)
