This sub in a nutshell

Guys do you wave ? Why don’t Harley riders wave at me ? Should i wave at scooters ?

What do i do with the helmet ? Should i take it with me ?

Bike won’t start, why ?

Are my tires still good ? - posts a picture with the baldest tires i’ve ever seen.

90% of this sub is either brand new riders or people who don't ride at all. Their entire understanding of motorcycling is based on sensationalized TikTok videos so they form very strong ideas over a bunch of shit they have no understanding of.

Large, broad subreddits often suck like this and you're much better to just go into the smaller subs like r/CalamariRaceTeam or even subs dedicated to specific bikes. Like I've owned 20+ bikes over 20 years of riding but I get downvoted my a bunch of noobs for even mentioning I like my Harley so I just don't bother posting here much lol.
