[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1359692, member: 3828"] <sigh> Owning a toy does not mean you will not ride big miles (whatever big means). It means you are buying the thing for your enjoyment above all else, which many of us do, whether we choose to openly admit it or not. There are those that claim that they are daily commuters, and so their bikes are not "toys", but rather a much more serious "tool" to be reconned with. I say: Bull. They could have bought some car that would have done that same commute with similar or better fuel mileage, increased personal safety, and not required a bunch of protective gear to be donned and doffed at each end to do it with. Instead, they bought their bike because it was fun. It is a toy that happens to take them to work. Ain't nothin wrong with that. Those folks that jump on a bike and ride for 1000s of miles a day are all doing it for their own enjoyment. Nobody is making them crank out IBA certs. They do it for fun. Their bikes are toys. Some of us have no commutes. Many are retired and have no work anymore. So how do they justify the "seriousness" of their bikes? Why bother? Shouldn't they be allowed to have their toys without disgrace? I don't really see how the purpose matters. There is no reason to look down your nose at someone else because they can't, or simply choose not to ride as many miles as someone else, or only ride for fun. I mean really... Can't we all just enjoy our bikes for what they are without measuring and comparing how long our kickstands are? [/QUOTE]
