Agreed.
I used to just refer to them as "owners" rather than "Riders" as I used to ride over 100 days/year (mostly commuting) but then last year my back surgery kept me off the Mighty Valkyrie and my future riding is hopeful but uncertain so I've softened my position.

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "now"
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
