Anyone else?

I've turned elitist lately and am trying to decide if I like it or not.

well I think part of it is the fact that I deal with 600+ 18-30y/o's daily. I probably get asked about motorcycles at least 10 times a day.

Most of these airmen are virgin's to the motorcycle world... and know nothing but what they've seen them selves, on TV or on Youtube. I do my best to lead them down a safe path... but I know how thick headed I was when I was in my early 20's. (like that's changed) I've actually set up a once a month briefing for all those who ride, or are even remotely intrested in motorcycles for our Squadron. we had the first one last week...

We talked about saftey gear benifits/drawbacks... different types of bikes... why they are interested in bikes... ect. I'm sure I have a couple "squids" in the group... but I do my best to keep things as informal as possible in these meetings (still very military structured though) and let them air their side or views....

I guess this my have a big part in my bias... as listening to all the ignorant crap these airmen see/hear... and then think it's the right way, has gotten me looking at most sportbikers and think... another awesome Rep for the motorcycle community.

that, sir... is awesome.

ehh we'll see... cause I'm not sure what to talk about next month. I may just bring in movies/video's showing different types of riding... and just have a bs party about anything motorcycle related. I've got a couple guys that work at the school house that have been riding for a LONG time (20+ years) that wanna come talk.

Yeah but most of of the people on earth are douche's, so it would stand to reason that most of the population on any type of MC are douche's.

It's true.

Most cruiser riders are douches.

Most ADV riders are douches (see Trip's off-road story and ask any tourist that was there that day).

Most Goldwing riders are douches.

Most dirtbike riders are douches.

Most BMW riders are pricks.

I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt, regardless of bike or gear. You can tell in 2 minutes of chatting if they are "your type" of rider or not.
