How do you deal with judgemental riders?

[Sean]

So, this may be a girly question, but after a few years of this it's finally gotten the best of me. How do you deal with people that won't shut up about how you bought the wrong bike? I have a few friends I ride dirt with and one of them--who I consider a really good friend outside of riding--just absolutely will not shut up about how I should have bought a 2-stroke. His reasons don't even make sense--he says I'll be less tired, but I'M NOT FUCKING TIRED WHEN WE RIDE! He is...because he's on a CR250R.

Then there's the Honda people that won't shut up about how anyone who doesn't buy a Honda is stupider than mud. This particular guy happens to be both a 2-stoke guy and a Honda guy.

I'm a big boy, I've been riding motorcycles for a long time, I'm capable of making decisions based on my own circumstances which happen to be different from yours. Not a legitimate argument apparently.
