harley-davidson convention: how to dress/act....?

[mebecky11]

A friend of mine who is an avid HD rider, invited me to a HD convention in a few weeks. I'm a little nervous because I've grown up around sportbikes and I have that attitude and attire. How do I look and dress so I dont stand out like a sore thumb? And even then I will stand out, but are HD groups usually welcoming to outsiders???
My friend jokingly bought me a harley tank top. If I wore that, it wouldn't make me a poser would it?

Most of the HD riders that I associate with are fine with my chosen motorcycles, and have no issues with me, but still give me grief (playfully) about needing to get a Harley.

Anyways, don't dress or act the part, because then you're just a poser, and you're just as bad as the person who rides their bike once a month, on the sunny days.

Be who you are. If they don't accept you as a sportbike rider, they're not the people you want to be around, those who truly ride understand that it's because you have two wheels, not because you ride something specific.

just be you and have fun.I have all kinds of bikes and dont allways bring a harley to those events.

keep in mind that 99% of h.d. riders (myself included) did not start out on h.d.'s.....you'll be fine
