Ive had a few HD Riders look me over at lights. But not in a bad way. I think they know the deal.
Wings have been around long enough to have a reputation of their own.
The hard core HD riders just don't like to share.

It's a "MACHO / testosterone" thing.
HD's makes you a tough bad ass, no gear, even a tougher bad ass.
I remember hearing stories about when they used to kick over imports, beat them with bats, even set them on fire.
I've seen them, have to have, a chase vehicle w/ a trailer, to P/U broke down HD's & haul them back home...…. a few decades ago.
Went out for a great ride today in NE ohio.
ALLERT! This is walnut season, be careful, their all over the road!!
And you Harley riders, TAKE A PICTURE, it lasts longer!
Is it just me? I like to stop at every Motorcycle dealer I see. I stopped at a Harley dealer today and all they had was used Harleys on the floor.
I know, Its a Harley dealer! BUT,,, The some of the other metric dealers also had them. A lot of them.
But ya know what I haven't seen much of? Used wings or B's.
The used wings I did see were trikes that nobody would pay $20,000 for.
Hmmmmmmm?

Always a good laugh when we can laugh together. I get the "why didn't you buy a Harley?" all the time. Then we joke back and forth as I mention I am not a fan of shiny vibrators, but I don't judge. They know though, I ask if they want to go for a little speed run, see how tall their gears are.
"shiny vibrators' Good one!
My buddy was on the gas all day on his Harley the first time we rode together with my B.
So I went around him once and thats all it took to slow him down.
He just said WoW!
And now our bikes are good buddies.

I've seen this sort of behaviour before. But....to be honest....it's not happened recently.
Back in the 60's and early 70's it used to be you didn't even pull into an HD dealer parking lot if you were on a metric bike. Those who did paid for their brazen behaviour....usually in the form of dents and scratches.
Back then I saw Harley guys routinely quick kick bikes over for no other reason than being metric. Most of that crap is gone these days....but every now and then, some clown still pulls it. I suspect it's usually some poser who's only been riding HD (or anything else) for about 3 months and is just putting on an act.
And....in all fairness....the guy may just have had mouthful of chew and needed to drain it. The fact you were there when he did may have just been purely coincidental.
