I also own both MCs & MBs. The MC's are great for long distance, power & comfort; I even think they are cool.
However, you can customize the heck out of a MB for a lot less $$ and the cool factor is off the charts. I ride my MB a lot more and go places the MC's can't. Plus, can't beat the gas mileage; average MC is 45 MPG; the MB + 100 mpg.
The lady is obviously a MC snob and thinks of MB's having, a cool factor rating of Pee Wee Herman. Feel sorry for her for not knowing the joy of building & riding a MB.
