Okay so this leads to the more amusing aspect of the "us and them" question..........

Given the discussion on the back thing.............are we saying a bigger majority
of cruiser riders are fat ****s or what ? 'Cause IMO us sportbike riders tend to
be a good bit more fit and in shape regardless of age ! & from what I see
going past my house everyday a "very solid" majority of cruiser riders
would have comfort and or back issues on a sportbike which is why I
think a good few of them choose cruiser style bikes....'cause they have
to.......it's either that or a Vespa

Anyone got any comments on this..................?

 

I agree, that pretty much sums up my dissent towards "the group" mentality (politics, religion, bikes, ect...).

I'm 37 too and have also had physically demanding jobs most of my life. The only one who ever said I'd have back problems on a sportbike was my wife, when she was attempting to talk me out of getting one, lol. I might eventually get a more comfortable bike like a Concourse or ZX-14, but never a V-Twin (boring).

 

I dont mind if someone thinks I'm having a mid life crisis but the truth is, I started on dirt bikes went to cruisers and liked them. Then I bought a sport touring (ST 1100) and my eyes were suddenly opened!!! Now I have the CBR 1000 rr and I'm in love with it!!!
I'm 44 next month and its a preference........ Follow your passion!
