I ride BEARS and I ride Japanese. I have even been on BEARS style runs with my Kwak. Maybe they knew my other bike was being repaired ? Who cares?
One thing I noticed was a remarkable similarity between the blowhards in each group. Those who dish the crap are usually new or returning riders, newish bike with matching leathers and a limited no. of miles under their belts.
Doesn't matter whether its a Hog and a dude with boutique accessories or a Gixxer rider with matching leathers the 'I'm better than you' attitude is alive and well.
