Re: Poor Harley Riders!
That's quite funny. I do like Butter's tribute to the Harley riders.
I have always maintained the great majority of the non-riding public finds loud bikes very annoying, and that the existence of such loud bikes damages the motorcycle's public image. So, SP has proved that, imo.
Oddly enough, I have come across quite a few non-riders who believe that flamboyant, leather-clad riders are gay. It's a stereotype, but not very relevant. Imo, who cares what a rider's personal preferences are? I don't.
To that end, I don't buy the statement that "more and more people are using the term 'fag' as an all-purpose insult". That's nonsense. It's always been out there as an insult, but it's declining in use, if anything.
Imo anyone who has objections to gay people or uses gay insults have unresolved personal issues. I tend to believe that such people fear they themselves are gay, and are uncomfortable by this, so they overcompensate with hatred.
