I always loved the poser coments I got when I used to ride. They only got worse the nicer my bikes got. Started with a 96 GSXR750 which eventually died due to a cam shaft actually snapping in the head which then proceeded to chew up the rest of the engine...got called a poser because thats what crotch rocket riders supposedly were to everyone back then...When i finally moved up to 1000cc bikes I got called a poser because "you don't need that much power on the street" even though i occasionally took it to track days.
My last bike was the best though...I paid $20k for my Aprilia RSV4, which was pretty much my dream bike, threw about $10k at it with all intention of tracking it...and got called a poser because it wasn't a GSXR...can't win. But I'll tell you right now every single GSXR, CBR, ZX, R1, and even Ducati rider had that look of pure envy when they heard that 200hp V4 start up and make sounds that could only be described as what a motorcycle should sound like.
I'm surprised I haven't had anyone talk shit about my car...my friends at first laughed, then they saw it in person and got a ride...now they ask if I'll bring it back out to SD so we can go drive up to Julian in it...
