Personally, the biggest a-holes on two wheels that I've met have all the gortex, many dollars of helmet complete with in helmet com, on a BMW or... Yes... A Goldwing. Granted, it's all just stereotypes and anecdotal evidence but if I need help while out on my bike, it's more likely to come from a pirate than the dual sports and crotch rockets zipping past. Bottom line, I'm ok with the pirate image. My personal steez is more steampunk but whatever.
