A guy in a bar asked me if that was my pussy bike parked out front.

Should have told him you've never been to the local gay biker bar... that's why he's never seen it.  ;D

There are a lot more Rice burner bikes and cars on the West coast than in the Midwest or East Coast, it's always been that way. 

When VW bugs started in this country they were popular on the east coast, then when the reliability and simplicity of the car proved itself VW bugs were common place in the western states.

this is all too funny...but I hate to say this....I always woundered why cowboys walked funny in cowboy boots...I then many years ago was invited to a western wedding as a date..so off to store I went and bought my first pair of boots...after wearing the boots for about 1 hour I started to feel like I owned 3 horses and was going to the stampede.... I won a free all inclusive trip to Maiue..while we were there we decided to rent a ferrari to do the road race to Hanna...after being in the car for 10 minutes you feel yourself change and you stop everywhere so more people see you and you become one of them....I own a 78 750k and and old iron head and its funny because I feel different riding each bike ..... step out of youre confort zone  or personality and youll see what Im saying...  everybody says I own this or that ,but unfortunatly it owns you... but the worst part is a guys attitude depends on his mod  ;D

I get a lot of Jap-hater comments here in Vermont.
But I also get people amazed my 1976 CB550 is near new looking
and still on the road.

I usually ignore the former.

I went to the local Harley dealer on my 78 750k, my bud has a new white Road King Classic with 7 or 8000 worth of extra bling added, a few guys came out and walked over to look at...my Honda, LOL. "Wow, cool, what year is that?" Made my day. At the local mostly Harley bar another time, the 6'4" biggest, hairiest, tatooedist bartender told me my Triumph Sprint was "the coolest bike I've ever seen, and you can imagine how many bikes I see go through here, brother". My Rocket III Touring usually gathers a small crowd there, parked amidst all the Harleys. Never caught any grief yet from the Harley crowd, maybe it's just me, I dunno.

The attitude usually comes from the "new" bikers. The guys that are covered in road grime and tattoos of several ex wives names are generally the ones that are cool with me and my K3. Most of the true bikers I have met owned an old Honda or Kawi at some point before they could afford to ride a Harley and are pretty nostalgic about it. In the end, we are all just riders.........

I had a guy on a HD pull up next to me at a light and start talking the same old jap-crap. Knowing a race would only prove that his bike was no match, when the crossing street's light turned yellow I raised my chin guard and told him his bike was leaking oil. He looked down as our light turned green and I idled away laughing.

In 1978 My buddies and I were taking a trip from Chicago to the Rockies North into Canada and back. The four of us had 750s'. We stopped at a gas station out West where a Harley club(about 25 bikes) was also gassing up. They asked about our trip and we said it was it about 3000 miles. One of them said "Sh**t, our bikes wouldn't make it half that far. They said when they did go on a trip there was a van with spare parts and room for a broken broken bike following them. The only problem we had was a flat tire.

I've already posted in this thread but thought I'd throw another uplifting story out there.

We (my buddy, his dad, and a friend of his dad's) rode from Dallas to Austin this past weekend for the ROT Rally.  In order, we were on a 2003 Sportster, black, tons of chrome, loud ass exhaust, and a hot blonde on the back, a 2001 Road King, also black, tons of chrome, mild exhaust, a late model Honda Shadow 1100, bone stock, and me on my '78 750K, 4-into-2, Euro spuerbike bars, no signals, pods, whatever.  We rode mostly in the order of Sportster, CB, Road King, Shadow.  Our last stop before Austin was in Lampassas, a good 30-40 miles out.  When we pulled off my buddy's dad was just grinning and chuckling like he had just heard a really good joke.  I asked him what's so funny and he says "I tell you man, every single person we've passed on the highway since Dallas has done two things:  look to see how much skin she's (my buddy's gf) showing, and then go slack-jawed and start drooling as soon as they see your bike.  By the time they realize what they've just seen they don't even pay any attention to us (the RK and Shadow)."

On the way back stopping for gas, our guy on the Shadow confirmed what my RK rider had observed.  "Just unbelievable.  People in cars, on baggers, crotch rockets, whatever.  It's the EXACT SAME every time!"

I had a great exchange of words at a traffic light the other day while I was riding my new-to-me cafe'd CB360T:

Lady: Hey! Is that a Norton??
Me: Nope, it's a Honda.
Lady: A Honda?! I should have run you off the road then! We're Harley people.
Me: Wow, that's quite a threat for someone driving a Nissan...

Lady: Well, it looks nice. What year is is?
Me: 1975...
..pause...
Me: ...and it doesn't even leak oil.
Lady: Oh, that's nice!

I laughed SO HARD as I pulled away from the light.  Some people just don't know when the joke is on them.

Just for kicks, here's a pic of the bike in question:

Had pretty much the same happen to me, I saw a heap of bikes parked up at the wharf area and rode over to have a bo-peep, rows of nice bikes, big Harleys and rice rockets.
I got to the end of the row and thought "where the Hell are all their riders", turned around and they are all around my old 79 CB650, man did I have some questions to answer from that group when I made myself known as the owner.
Never seen so many guys with cameras around one machine, if Blondie could blush she would have. ;)
My bet is that for all the middle aged riders on new machines, somewhere back in their past they started on one of our old ones. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Young man at Dairy Queen somewhere on the way to Topeka- Hey, what year Harley is that orange metalflake one? I replied a 74 and the red one is a 76 but they aren't harleys. His face turned red.

This just came up...

How's Your Day Going?
 
 
There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.



"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.

"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure.  I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking  lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance.  I left my wallet in the cab I took home.  I found my wife with another man and then my dog bit me."
 
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!  But enough about me, how's your day going?

I can honestly say that for every 20 people that I see at my local bar....18 of em' will be diggin' my bike but there always has to be the other 2 that will flip you some sh!t about it. They are usually weekend warriors that are on brand new off the showroom Harleys that they more than likely never even changed the oil on let alone  put a wrench to. You really don't have to get into it with them. They usually do a great job of making an a$$ out of themselves just fine!!! I like it when you're at the bar on the old Honda and maybe 5 or 6 Harleys are there and your bike is the only one with spoked wheels and a kicker and could blow the doors off of the fastest Harley there. 8) 8)
