Default Did anyone change?

Question: did anyone you know change when you got your BMW? I think a couple of acquaintances thought I was talking out of my nether region when I said I was going to buy one. Thought that until they saw pics of her parked next to my F4i.

Now a couple have been cracking "fat a**" jokes relating to her name, Yolanda (if they ever met the real Yolie, they'd shoot themselves for unintentionally insulting her). And one co-worker threatened Motorcycle Sacrilege: he said he was gonna take her for a ride (did it cause he knew it was a line not to cross)

Those are people who have absolutely no idea what theyre taking siht about...

A buddy of mine who is into to motorcycles/sport bikes couldn't believe I was getting a "geizer" bike when I told him I was getting the Bimmer...i told him to google the S1k, he quickly changed his tune a few hours later after he did intact google it...but he still hates the headlights lol

Personally I like the "angry monocle" look

No one I hang out with did anything like that... I kinda got rid of the folks around me that were negative like that years back... Sounds like you might need to purge.

I must have changed big time, because for the first time in over 30 years of riding, BMW MOA will allow me to be a member without another member sponsoring me!

Clearly I was mistaken when I thought my possessions didn't define me as a person.

Nothing but positive from anyone I know, even those on a GSXR site I frequent.

Hilarious.

When I told people I was getting/had a "BMW Motorcycle"...I got the "That's a nice bike...but why a Tourer and not a sportsbike?" However, once they saw it...their tune changed completely. lol
