if you chose to ignore another rider cause they ride a scooter or a harley you then become the same as the others you complain about , we have forgotten what riding is all about , mateship helping a fellow brother or sister rider out on our roads , several yrs ago i was rideing late at nite from appin to wollongong and i come across a fellow rider whom just happen to run out of fuel he wore a back patch and was a sergent or arms for a particular club , he was a brother of the road and was in need of help , i stopped and helped him i pillioned him to a servo and back to his bike , he wasnt ashamed to get on a jap bike he was happy a brother on the road stopped , we are good freinds to this day , so before you cast dispertions on other riders whom dont happen to ride a bike of your likeing think , that person would stop and help you , would you do the same???

I'll nod in suburbia and the city and wave on highways to anyone on 2 wheels (even the odd can-am), I'm old school and go with the old quote "Let those who ride decide"....
I approached 2 huge harley riders a couple of days ago as one was wearing the "Free Australia Party" T-shirt, I think even they were shocked to see a tall skinny bloke, walk up and say, "Hey bro, where can I get me one of those shirts", next minute the three of us were sharing our experience with bikes and the biggest, meanest looking bloke began to show me video footage on his phone from the last protest run they did, we also shared a laugh and they actually admired my Busa, They asked "what do you ridee mate?" so I pointed to My Busa and they actually said "WOW nice bike".
In conclusion I think IMHO that it is in our own mind-set to how other riders are percieved.
Bazz.
