've spent relatively little time on this board but I've looked at a lot of the posts and I've yet to see one instance of an HD rider coming to this board and posting anything about their bikes being superior
I agree, but then i never said anything about having experienced that online. I've been around a lot of harley guys since i was a kid. My buddys brother who i've known for 50 years rode/rides one and rode with a ton of HD guys and i learned firsthand what the harley atttitude is. They'd show up at my buddys house for years and often made no bones about how pathetic my bikes were when i rode there. Maybe not everyone sees it....could be where you live or who knows what.

By the way, if we were to talk about online attitudes, any HD riders with said attitude certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to go to a triumph board to spout off ! But in any case, i'm talking life experience, not online. And mind you not all HD riders have an attitude. If anything it's a minority, but it does exist and i never see it with riders of other brands. Theres a big difference between having pride in what you ride and wanting to shove it in other rider's faces, and thats the attitude i have seen that makes me uncomfortable.
