I was going to post this on the other Class D thread but that has Died On The Vine…
This silly argument reminds me of the Motorcycle Brand Wars in the 80’s and 90’s and kind of still lives on today by a few hard core HD riders.
I was at a track day at the Hasslet MS Ranch in Oklahoma and I rolled out my latest piece of Italian machinery an Aprilia RSV1000SP a Factory Superbike. One of my customers was there with 4 year old Honda CBR600 and looked at my machine, he just said WOW and all I have is this little Honda. I was in the MC business as a parts supplier at the time and always had the latest gadgets in my shop.
So we went out for a couple of sessions and got our timing sheets. The next session came up and I gave the kid the Aprilia to ride for that session. I then rolled out a 10 year old Honda RVF400 I bought in Canada (never was sold in US Market) I went out on the track and and lapped this kid twice on the latest gadgetry from Naoli Italy on a 10 year old Honda that had not been service in 4 years other than rubber and oil.
We came back in got our timing sheets and the kid was slacked jawed his times were slower. I looked at him and said “You have have apple before you can polish it”. I told the kid it only matters that you ride and not what you ride.
I think this relates and I am sure many will not get it.
Listen to what topology you like ABCDZRF, if it works for you then great I am happy for you. Bottom line for me is it’s about the Music (the ride) not the vehicle you use.
@mglik I am so happy for you and I am giving the AGD’s a test ride.
Many of you will twist this post all around and come at me with your agenda. Well enjoy your ride cause I going to get my deceased sons Triumph Speed Triple out and ride around the lake today it was his favorite place to ride.
Let the twisting begin.
