"Harley Riders also have more class: “Sport bike riders are three times more likely to eat at fast-food restaurants (18 percent versus six percent)"

Sport bike (and generally non-cruiser) riders just want a quick bite so they can get back out on the road and ride. When I go out riding around on the weekend I see more Harleys parked in front of restaurants, bars and taverns than I do out on the road.

Oh yeah, Harley riders are more likely to drink and ride.

Nah, you see that because sport bike riders treat their bikes like toys. You take them out to have fun then put them back in the closet. When you see my bike in front of a restaurant, it's there because I don't like to walk, and I'm not real big on driving either. My bike is there, because that's how I get from place to place if I have any say so in the matter.

Sometimes when you see it in front of a bar or an eatery, I'm a thousand miles from home, and I've done my riding for the day. I'm just unwinding and filling up before I get back to the hotel to crash.

Totally different riding style than 99.9% of the crotch rocket riders.
