+1 again. Pete, I'm agreeing with about everything you're saying in this thread.
It doesn't necessarily make their opinion more valuable, but most of the time, more experienced riders do have nicer bikes. For example, I've got a friend who has been riding most of his life and is very well-versed, but he refuses to pay more than $1200 for a bike, so his bike wouldn't be considered a really expensive bike. Point made.
