Coworker: I just don't see why the Harley guys have to give me attitude and that 'rice burner' shit.

I try not to give other people shit about what they ride. But I can tell you what makes me want to give people shit about what they ride. Try buying something made in the USA. You want a sport bike that can take corners at ridiculously high speeds? That sounds kind of fun. Buy a Buell. But if you're riding a rice burner, don't be surprised if some proud, working Americans take exception with your choice.
