Interesting comments.
What I find missing here is the objectification of the motorcycle itself. While most men have no trouble objectifying women at one time or another, they just get rubbed the wrong way when asked to objectify their motorcycles.

Let's face it, motorcycles have no clue where they are, how far they have traveled or give a sh.. who is looking at them. Women do! Motorcycles, are objects. Women are not. Sometimes the only way to establish a value judgement is to compare comparable magnitude. Motorcycles are not women, and stickers or flags are like notches on one's six shooter representing men killed. I am sure each of the killer's pistols are notched with each kill.

Just as I would never consider myself having been with a woman, unless I was,
I would never consider myself having been to a country - represented by stickers and flags on my motorcycle, unless I was. It is not the woman, the country or the motorcycle that my personal collection of stickers and flags represent. It is me and my relationships and my travels. And, it is my integrity, which has very little to do with which bike I was riding.

My conclusion, motorcycles are objects, women are not, and six shooters are like motorcycles... So, while I own three motorcycles, one in Argentina, one in Spain, and one here at the ranch in Arizona, I have posted all my flags representing the countries I have ridden on each of my three motorcycles. But, while I have had relationships with many women, I am only with one... and would never wear the scarf or banner of another, ever.

Let's be confused no longer.

xfiltrate. Eat, Drink and fly all your flags wherever you want, but respect your woman, she is not an object.

I really get it that many of you will have no clue of what I speak here. No worries man!
