Grief about owning a British bike?


Billy, I don't use the Pledge anymore. I used it on one of my old Harleys and it turned it into a chair.
 

I've owned 2 Hondas, 2 Kawasakis, 2 Yamahas and 1 Triumph....

I never thought anything could replace my XS-11....put nearly 100k miles on it on nearly 20 yrs....then, one day, while looking at a 3rd Kawasaki (Vulcan 2000), I foolishly threw a leg over the R3T...IT JUST FELT RIGHT....

Been around a lot of riders in 40+ years on the road...some, you just cannot satisfy...."F" 'em...YOU ride YOUR bike, let them ride theirs....love yer bike like yer wife and yer kids....take care of it....learn everything about it....

Ride on, dude...
 
Brothers, this has been so cool to hear your thoughts about this. I love the passion you guys have for your bikes and for riding in general. Finally got mine registered today and now need to buy a helmet, jacket, gloves, etc. Of course, it is unseasonably warm out today - 60ºF - in Michigan on November 28?!! Can't wait!

Good buddy, you are unlikely to be offered a job with the diplomatic corps, though I suppose that's true for a few of us here.

Just to give a clear definition of diplomacy...

I didn't feel like too much of a bottom feeder/criminal/jailbird POS when I was riding my beautiful old Shovel.

Well, at least my wife of 47 years told me I was an OK kind of guy.

Most of the guys around here are pretty good sorts and don't care what one rides. Some ribbed me a bit when I showed up on my Kawasaki Nomad, such as wondering where I lost my Harley, but it was just in fun. I must say though that I seemed to work on that old Shovel more than I rode it. Conversely, with exception of a TPS issue early on, my 07 was trouble free.

On the 1%ers; I just avoid those.
