I own two bikes. The 06 CUSE and an 08 Wing. Both are great bikes and do what they do exceptionally well. In my travels, I've encountered riders of the other brand and for the most part, all are very nice and don't care what a person rides. The GW's wave at me when I 'm on the HD, and vice versa. Most of the crotch riders wave as well. Overall, the motorcycling community is a great group. As with any group of people, there will be A'holes. Try launching your boat on a crowded boat ramp on Sunday Aft. LOL I've been riding bikes for 30 years and doing the internet boards for about 5 years now. Overall, the world outside the internet is different than inside. On a recent trip, we talked to three guys with 110 motors with over 20K total miles, and no problems. Seems a lot of people search the internet if they're having problems, then post about those problems, making it seem worse that it is. Rodney King said it best. " Why can't we all just get along ? " I'm just going to keep on riding and waving and talking to anybody on any brand.
