At least, that's what I'm getting out of this thread. For me, it's a passion for motorcycles. The machine you decide to put between your legs is as insignificant to me as what flavor of ice cream you like. The gear you wear or decide not to wear is as insignificant to me as the color of your shoestrings.

I love bikes... I love to look at bikes... I love to ride bikes... I love to talk bikes... I love to tinker on bikes... I love to dream about bikes... I like 'em all to some varying degree... can't say as I've ever seen a bike that didn't intrigue me in some way or another... Then again, I'm certainly not cooler than anyone... and my unwillingness to shit on someone else for their bike/gear/riding style is further proof of that I guess.

i hope we all can agree, trike people aren't motorcyclists

I prety much agree, if someone has a handicap I can see them riding a can am or something. However a person who gets that and/or a scooter as a primary motorcycle def not.

CanAm people aren't motorcyclists. They're snowmobilers with a mental deficiency.

I love seeing the big smile on a can am rider's face as he throws the wave, then he gets a scowling "go fuck yourself" in return.

In case you didn't get the memo, BI-kes have two wheels.

Nothing screams "I have no business operating any type of motor vehicle" like a purple trike Goldwing with a 60 year old lady on the bars.

No cookie thank you... I just get incredibly annoyed when people think they are better than other people... especially when they clearly are not.
