Painted with a pretty broad brush (lumping all newbs together but then focusing on the cruiser crowd) yet I have seen those types.... nice folks by day and buttholes when they don the pirate gear. Eighteen miles on an eighteen thousand dollar bike does not make ya a rider.
lol! If you go to the Tim Hortons that this guy is mentioning,.. the "sport bike" crowd is posturing just as much as the cruiser crowd,.. if not more. Doing stoppies and crap in a full parking lot, parking in the handicapped spots, and making fun of the "beat cops" that make you move your bikes (when parked illegally), etc.
In fact, when I go there,.. I usually park on the cruiser side,.. and chat with them.
