If someone walks up to him saying "I know everything about Goldwings
because I drive one myself", badgolferman would know he is a poser.

 
Speaking of Goldwings, when I first got mine I noticed on various
websites the spelling alternated between Goldwing, Gold Wing, and
GL1800.  Of course GL1800 is the official model of the motorcycle, and
mine is a 2002 GL1800A which denotes one with ABS.
 
I asked the guy who sold it to me whether it was a Goldwing or Gold
Wing and he told me Goldwing.  He referred me to the manual and the
trim pieces on the bike which say Goldwing.  I have seen the Honda
website which says Gold Wing, but frankly I think that was designed  or
edited by someone who doesn't know the history of the motorcycle.  I
don't really know, other than what the LCD display, manual and placard
on my bike say -- Goldwing.

Hi badgolferman,

You just made my point perfectly for me, in that I don't know a damn thing
about Honda bikes - so I don't even know myself if it's a Gold Wing or not.

I see Honda advertises at their bike site it as a "Gold Wing"...
<https://powersports.honda.com/motorcycle/touring/gold-wing>

But your point is well taken that I don't know a damn thing about
GoldWings/Goldwings, and you can tell because I don't know the terms.

Yet....

I do know the difference between "riding" a bike and "driving" it.
As do you.

Anyone using the term "driving" a bike is a noob so if they then claim to
know everything about it (as the Apple trolls do for so many things), then
they're just posers.

Which is my point.

These Apple trolls  (Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris,
Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) merely parrot Apple marketing.

They don't actually know anything - about anything.
