I think you fellas hit the nail on the head, sometimes it is the area of the country you are riding in. We notice, as a rule people in Indiana and Kentucky are much more friendly bikers than around town here in Cincinnati.
We have been snubbed by many different make riders and visa versa, found very friendly bikers on all different brands. We have also run into people on Ventures who obviously were not as excited as us, to see another RSV rider. So I suppose it is about timing, and location too. I wish it was different. I would think ideally that everyone who rides a motorcycle of any type, would be part of the brotherhood and sisterhood of riders. But you know there are snobs, and unfriendly people everywhere.
I say lets get together and irritate them with our friendliness.
