Recently I received an IM from some one I didn't know and it simply said, "Why don't you get a real bike?" Wow! At first I was angered and thought this required an immediate reply, but good since prevailed and I did not. Perhaps I left a comment on this persons page or image that they didn't appreciate and they were getting even with me, or maybe it was just good natured razzing. It's hard to tell these things on the internet. At any rate it was an IM so no one but me could have been offended and yet it got me to wondering.
What is a "real bike"? Hmmm, that Victory Vision is cool, maybe it's a real bike. Oh, and that Yamaha Raider is awesome, maybe it's a real bike. My friends have all brands of bikes, Harley's, Honda's, Yamaha's, Suzuki's, Kawasaki's, and one even has a scooter, maybe I should ask them what a "real bike" is. Do you think one of them could tell me? I doubt it, or perhaps they would suggest the one they are riding is the "real bike". Yeah, that's it. The one you're riding is the "real bike".
The first thing any of us do when we get a motorcycle is customize and personalize to make it our "real bike". So, friend, who ever you are, I'm riding a "real bike" and I'll bet you are too. Have a good day.
