I went down to reception to pick up some post and noticed a girl sitting there in bike clobber, Guy Martin lid, so I was waiting for the receptionist to get back and started a conversation, she seemed a nice girl and were chatting about bikes, the usual what bike you got etc.
Anyway we were talking and I was saying I want to change my bike next year, fancy one of the supernakeds etc and I said maybe the KTM/MT10/BMW or speed triple, anyway she misheard as street triple and instantly went into this little rant about how they are beginners bikes and not very good. Now I thought this was mega odd as a) she had already told me shed only been riding a year and currently rode an Er-6 and b) as someone who has owned an STR, yeah its easy to ride, but my god is it capable of embarrassing other bikes big time. It was just a really odd conversation, I asked if she had ever ridden one and she said she had, It was all a bit odd after that, it was almost like she looked down on me for god forbid considering an STR (I could quite happily have an STR again)
I dunno if there is any point to this post in all honesty, just surprised me I guess as normally with bikers I find its usually a very easy going mentality, its not like my other hobbies full of elitist idiots, but maybe im wrong, I dunno.
Sorry for wasting your time reading the ramblings out of my head
