    Like ummmm... other motorcyclists? I don't recall anyone saying they wanted to head along on their horse.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

    It's all about Tribalism guys.

    Some folk are so insecure in themselves that they simply MUST 'belong'. That way they have the security of an 'us' and 'other' situation.
    Rules about what to wear.
    rules about what to ride.
    rules about what to drink.
    rules about .....

    I have this discussion frequently. And stop it simply by saying, "I don't buy into your concept of what constitutes 'class'. SO where does that leave your argument?"

    I go to all of them. To observe. Harley, Suzuki, Triumph and Honda - et al. The people attending are all remarkably similar in the fact that they are a diverse bunch of individuals.
    The one common thing is that they enjoy hanging out with folks 'like them' - as in like what they like.

    It gives them affirmation, makes it easier to relax and form friendships because of the common bond of something as superfluous as a brand or type of bike.
    It's much nicer around the bar without some goober telling you why his brand is better than yours.

    Then there's shared specialist knowledge, sweetheart loyalty deals from the manufacturer, lots of benefits, but mostly it's riding and being 'part of something' they like, taking the piss and having fun.

    I thought having a bike in general was enough of a bond, guess not.

    Mildly Serious Answer A: You want to know how to get a discount on a new one?

    Flippant Answer B: Nobody is forcing you to join, but then knowing you - nobody is actually asking either.

    went out one day on my trusty little jappa, went with a couple of those big harley types, on no! One broke down.....what fixed it, the little Jappa's toolkit!!!!!

    Lesson to be learnt, be friends with everyone for you never know when you just might need them!!!

    Lesson to be learnt, get a jappa cos they dont break down as often, and come with tools to fix it anyway
    fixed

    There's no reason I'd want to join. I'm saying that I find comradery with people that ride all kinds of bikes while others don't. Their loss.

    I went once on the 749. Peter Tanner, Jamie Galway and I lapped a guy on the second lap. I dunno how they get away with running the event to be honest. More dangerous than riding on the road.

    Yeah - I didn't mean to impugn the veracity of the observation at all. Just note that it was delivered from a different perspective.

    (I had to spell check both words)

    PS - I was also pointing at the OP.

    I doubt there was probably reasons such as "japs suck" or as such.
    its just a totaly different scene with jap bikes and/or british& US bikes . and they want to stick with the "scene" . you will never see a ducati and a harley cruise together. same thing really.


    but to me having everything means a better event. variety is what its all about. why would you want to see the same thing 30 times?

    Actually I have noticed over the past few years that around Christchurch you see all types of bikes riding together with their friends. Sure there are the standard packs of sportbikes, harleys, triumphs etc but often a handful of mates grouped on whatever they ride out for a Sunday spin. Bloody good stuff too and I notice they often bag the crap out of each other as they rightly should!

    What you hardly ever see is a Jap bike that has been traded sitting outside the harley/triumph dealer. I wonder if this is more due to the crap trade price offered or they get put on Trademe. Or is this form of cross-over between brands illegal? Surely there are plenty of Japanese cruisers traded on Harleys?
