Its interesting so far the typical ill informed stereotype of the motorbicyclindricist has been shot to shit yes, most of the replies so far have been from professional nerds.

Diverse bunch we are indeed

Not to mention we blow the typical nerd stereotype out of the water.

As I have read someone on these forums say before, you're automatically accorded a level of cool when you ride a bike.

I honestly reckon that motorcycling is the great societal leveler.
