He makes his point but he bashes a lot on HD riders. He seems to forget about all the sportsbike squids and wannabe's. There are posers everywhere ...

He tries to even things out but I feel thats not enough. He could have made his point without the bashing.

Yet another round of battle in the endless war!

He makes good points, but not everyone WANTS to hang off and bike when carving a corner. Not everyone wants to be held on edge of the machine's feedback when riding. I know some custom riders who just wants to relax when riding the back roads. No matter which way you cut it, you can't relax much on a sportbike. I find that it's a lot of bashing for someone who respects all riders.

*BUT*... i've had my share of beef from custom riders who called me bike a rice burning wasp with no spirit and no personality. I heard the typical "get a real bike" phrase way too many times already. To which i reply "it is a real bike, there is no chrome!"

Usually it's just poking fun at each other, but some take it really too seriously.

What is true is that if you want a custom, there's a lot better than H-D !
