I will talk to anyone about their bike. I like any type of bike and their subtleties intrigue me. Most people seems to welcome the chance to tell you how good their bike is.
I have experienced another kind of prejudice though. I own a variety of styles of bikes. I ride a stretch of New Hampshire route 9 as part of my commute. In this one little small town I have been stopped and given the once over when on my Hayabusa and my 999 for being 5 10 miles over the limit. every time I have managed to get out of it with a "don't do it again or in one case a written warning. I am grateful because it is up to the police to use their discretion as they see fit. But I have gone past the same policeman on a Cruiser or a Lux Tourer at 15 to 20 over and never caught a second look. Anyone with similar expereince?
