I dread the spring in Massachusetts not that we have a spring more like sprinter, anyway there is a local motorcycle dealer and a friend of mine is good friends with the owner and we were there getting a tire for her bmw and my dnepr was parked in the lot and one of the shop workers comes out and asks who owns this contraption , I said it belongs to me and he asks if could move it being it was in marked spot he wanted it moved in case fed x or ups made a delivery that was his excuse to bust my balls, Ive grown to the point where I'm tired of brand minded people who look down on other bikes my bike is used all winter and it looks like it ,now at my age Ill give my opinion first of all it's not a contraption it's a dnepr mt 11 and it's more motorcycle than any other that's here and I don't recall seeing you riding this winter season and he walked away I don't like confrontation but I will not have the dnepr poo pooed anymore I know my limits with people there are some that I can't tolerate and that particular man had been eyeing the dnepr on several other visits there and giving me the eye maybe next time he'll be a bit nicer
