A stupid name only perpetuated by people using it.

He's writing a magazine article on bikes....he should at least use proper names.

I agree, however calling him stupid over it is much the same.

Sir, please call them Sportbikes. To call them otherwise is offensive to those of use that own them. And, for the love of all that's holy - anything "rice" related makes any article you write lose much of the credibility I'm sure you'd like your magazine to have. My motorcycles are Italian, and referred to as "rice" by the ignorant because they are Sportbikes.

I'll send you a PM.

Yes, and mine is made in East Troy, Wisconsin. Hardly any rice coming out of Wisconsin.

I didn't call him stupid. I called the name stupid. The name is perpetuated by people using it. That does not imply that I am calling the people using the name stupid.

Thanks to those who shoot me an e-mail. And smileyman, I know exactly what you mean. These aren't meant to suggest all owners of specific types of bikes fit a particular mold. It's just a way to get some people interested in bikes who otherwise might not care, you know?
