Bit narrow minded isn't it? Surely all two wheelers are in the same boat when it comes to using the roads?
was a joke :pokefun

Intolerence of others isn't funny, you might make what you feel is a throw away comment and another person hearing it thinks 'Yeah, I'm going to go out and kick some scooters over'
Apply that to race or sexual orientation and you'll find those types of 'joke' are against the law - for good reason.

I think you're mixing intolerance up with prejudice, I have not said anywhere that I oppose the use of scooters on the road.
What you said about sports bike and GS riders was equally as prejudiced as what I said about scooter riders and by your logic I should now go kick some bikes over. Whatever you do, please don't mention a Harley Davidson stereotype because I don't want to knock over the bike of a drug dealing gangbanger with a heart of gold (if sons of anarchy is to be believed).

You need to re-read that post, at no point have I made comments stereotyping any user of two wheels - I asked you how you would feel if similar comments like those I exampled were said about another type of two wheeled preference.
There is a clear difference between an example being given and actual predjudice being shown.
