Actually, it's a replica. A 310 gram hollow casting of pure milk chocolate. It's just waiting to clog up my arteries as it fattens me out of my jeans. It sickens me just to see it there in it's transparent-fronted cardboard box saying "eat me!"

The whole Harley image industry is "hollow cast" if you ask me, Fred.
Appealing on the outside, but nothing of substance on the inside."Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy) -
Know the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?
A Hoover can only hold ONE dirtbag....
I've been to the plant down in York a few times...not really impressive or anything. I'd have been much happier to tour the garage of Gus, the hermit XS rebuilder.
I dont see the obsession with Harleys today. I could understand back in the days of Easy Rider, but now? Just dont make no sense.
I mean, if you want to ride an American classic just for the sake of riding an American classic, find some old lady and take her home! But if you want durability, dependability, and hours of riding fun without having to bust knuckles every ten miles, then you gotta go ricer. I say this being a Harley fan since boyhood.

Never heard that before... and wish that I hadn't now!I mean, if you want to ride an American classic ... ...find some old lady and take her home!
No, that was quite good!
Harley's are like Hummers... imagined status symbols.
Two things you'll never see....
A Hummer driven off-road or a Harley driven for pleasure.
Hmmm... a difference perhaps...
Hummer drivers always drive with their eyes straight ahead... they can't be bothered to look at "the little people".
Harley riders constantly swivvel their heads around... having to reassure themselves that everyone else is looking at them.
Isn't that why they always rev their engines at stop lights?
Dual purpose?
Draw attention to themselves and keep the engine from dying at the same time.

Harleys & Hummers
Hi Prom,
I have never operated either. But let's assume that I'd won either or both in a lottery along with enough money that I wasn't forced to sell them to pay off my mortgage & credit cards.
Would I then ride the Harley for pleasure & drive the Hummer off-road?
Too effin' right I would and I'd bet you would too. And walk away whistling if they broke down or got stuck. They only cost the price of a lottery ticket, right?Fred Hill, S'toon

What to take home

Hi Hammerhead,
if you didn't get durability, dependability and hours of riding fun you took the wrong old lady home.Fred Hill, S'toon

Given the choice, I'd rather have 4 cylinders firing smoothly than 2 cylinders popping off with that whomp-whomp sound. I get better take-off and smoother cruising.
I love my XS...my neighbors do, too. If I had a loud obnoxious 2-cylinder popper I'm sure they'd appreciate my lust for riding a lot less."Rat Rod"

LOL...nope, no biting here. I fired my XS up last December sitting out in the driveway, so I could drive it up on my porch into it's place in my haphazard plastic shack. At the time it had no baffles, just straight-thru pipes. My neighbor came out and asked me to turn it to face the other way because I was literally knocking things off the shelves inside his house. At the time he came out, it was only running on two cylinders...LOL..."Rat Rod"

I rode my boss's Harley a few times down in Florida. Vibration, noise, worrying about making it back. At least the weather was great!Originally posted by trbig

This new 38' Cigarette Top Gun with twin 575 engines, kevlar hull, was kindly "donated" to our agency in FL by a local smuggler. We put it right into service.

Balancing the budget
If the narcotics industry makes enough profit that it's workers can afford to buy Hummers & Cigarette boats despite the trade's illegality, What an opportunity the Government is wasting. Sell all that stuff in Government licensed stores alongside the booze & tobacco and there'd be so much money available to the Government that it could not only afford the to pay for the war in Iraq out of current income, they could afford to buy the place and bring the troops home.Fred Hill, S'toon
