Did you attend your wedding in ripped jeans and a stained t-shirt? How bad was your BO?
There are levels of conformity in everything. Some take it to a higher level, some don't. Why is being a reverse snob (you) better than being a snob?
+1 It's why I have different bikes. Many are vintage period correct roadsters, a couple of race worthy speed bikes with labels correctly positioned, one is a rusty, fixed gear franken bike with a bad attitude, etc. For me, that's non-conformist
I think we all enjoy riding for ridings sake.
