50. Having lived in a city with two bike events yearly..

.....I stick by my statement....out of the half a million "bikers" that pass through daytona during bike week and biketoberfest, I'd guess 20% are honest to gawd bikers...the other 80% are doctors, lawyers and weekenders dressed to the max in $300 Harley approved leather boots, chaps, shirts....aka posers....they are the ones who take a short cut through a neighborhood testing their str8 pipes at 3am, power drink and f@ck it up for everyone else....chrome don't get you home....just makes a big puddle underneath your sportster....

I beg to differ about Honda riders....we ride the best built bikes in the world at half the cost of a hardley, and most of us ride our bikes daily because we know they won't fail as a daily driver....we don't just polish them with a diaper untill the weekend arrives....the old ad about meeting the nicest people on hondas is as true today as 40 years ago... When I give a hardley "rider" the two fingers down sign....keep both wheels on the road....a good luck sign....most riders look at me like I'm crazy....the Harley BIKERS however, know what I'm saying to them....that how I tell the difference
