Every single one of the coolest guys I've ever known that rode all had the same attitude. It's not what you ride, it's that you ride that matters. With the exception of the california chapter of the hells angels I used to play with when I was a little kid of course, lol (our lawn was always filled with harleys when I was young). They used to burn sportbikes just for being foreign, oddly enough I remember them all as being really damned cool guys despite all that. But I was a little kid then and part of the family so I prolly got treated better than most. Either way, anyone giving you grief over your ride that's not one of your best friends, just ignore. People like that aren't even worth noticing, let alone getting upset about.
