It's like walking into a pub called the "Real Ale Rock Pub" and finding it's country and western night sponsored by Fosters. The Sex-in-a-Canoe drinking line dancers won't get why you want a pint of Sheep S***er and Death Rider by Anthrax on the Jukebox and you won't stay long. It is pointless to be annoyed and there is nothing wrong if fake Aussie Sheep **** and the Man In Black is your thing, but it's human nature to get annoyed because the label didn't match the contents (in your opinion).
I view the Bonneville as a nice simple, easy to get along with bike that'll do anything quite well, others want to play James Dean or Steve McQueen. I think they might as well get a dress and play Danny La Rue, they think I should get a video of Ray Mears, the Grilled Bear Bloke or (God Forbid) the actor and his mate and go forth and multiply.
Life would be boring with out these minor differences. The trick IMHO is to laugh and walk away (or better still find common ground with the ones who are prepared to admit that what's right for them doesn't work for you).
