You know, I dont much care what a person does on a bike when it is themselves. I have seen people standing on their seats and crap like that and while I think it is dumb and I would never do it, I dont reeally care if they do. Now if they sit there and pop wheelies and do other stupid things with a passenger, then I might be more likely to say something as the passenger has no control over the situation.
Your burnout was pretty cool I bet. Gee, once I finally get my 78K fully tuned from the stuff I just did, I will probably try a burn. I tried to squak my tire for the first time ever and even with the carbs unsynced and my low speed mix not set, I still did it. I though it was cool as all hell. That bag that thought it was her duty to ream you, well piss on her. She handled that VERY poorly. Maybe they are not about that but then how does she know if she was speaking for everyone?
And her thing about riding gear, unless it is law, you paid your 35 and so if you have to have certain gear, well then they can pay you your 35 back.
I know I dont think some things are good to do TO your bike, but how you use it, well everyone is different. Clearly this ride is probably not for the vintage crowd then, which is too bad. Some people just cannot appreciate a bike which heavily influenced bike design since its creation.
