dont thank me for starting this thread...

I had no idea it would turn to the Gutter.

I will pray for all of your souls.

And so much Harley Hate...I wish I had a Harley...
( If I did , I could sell it and buy two Yamaha's)

[GNEPIG]

entertainment value is what its all about..

.. thats why i like it here, people can have a little fun with each other.. it adds a little color to the web site, reading about every one having the same exact problems with their bikes over and over gets a little old somtimes, it's cool to bust it up with a little fun sometimes
.. so thanx sdanville your the life of the party

.. oh yeah and i love my yamaha's

Hate Harlys? How can I hate anything that makes me laugh so hard?


Steve

[Pat Kelly]

I don't hate Harley's. I just tease back.
If everyone liked and rode the same bike, that would be boring.
If we all liked the same sports team, why then have a league.
If we all had the same religous beliefs...........I ain't going there .
Same with politics,
Coke vs Pepsi,
Boxers vs briefs,
Paper or plastic,
Heck, look at the choices Michael Jackson goes through... black or white? male or female? is he walking foreward or backward?

(disclaimer: all the above was said in jest and no malice intended on my part, except the coke/pepsi part)

No Harley hate, just Harley rider hate that all think that anything that does not say Harley on the side is not worth the time of day. How many times have you heard a Harley rider say "when are you going to step up to a real bike?" There are some good guys out there that ride Harleys that still enjoy looking at our bikes (looking at the taillights!), but it is so much more fun to generalize and stereotype!

[sdanville]

Hey Parr8hed - -

What's that Eleven inch thing hanging out of your oral cavity in your Picture ?

[Parr8hed]

That 11 inch thing I can only smoke while I am behind the fairing of my dad's Gold Wing 1500 riding a wheelie in 5th gear, doing 146 down the expressway, laughing at Harleys and listening to my wife on the back saying that she wishes that she was on my eleven!!!

Did I miss anything?

Am I on the right list? This feels like I am on the 11plus list in a different format. NOT COMPLAINING though, I think that it is pretty funny.

If? If? Have you been on a road trip lately?

EVERYONE DOES RIDE A HARLEY.

Maybe not literally everyone but probably 60% of all riders I see on road trips are on Harleys. Then another 20% are on clones of Harleys. They are all so boringly predictable. It saddens me that Japan is not doing there own thing regarding cruisers. Thirty years ago Japan used to be very innovative when building a cruiser. Just look at an '81 SH compared to an '81 HD Sportster.

Harley riders (and the likes thereof) remind me of teenagers wearing the same fad driven clothes (do-rags, leathers, and chains) with their clip-on pony tails, and fake tatoos.........BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

No seriously. A friend of mine (a local doctor) rides a Deuce. He has a fake pony-tail and a temporary tatoo. If it weren't so funny it would be nauseating. Why? BECAUSE HE'S SERIOUS. His personality actually changes when he throws his leg across that Harley. Hids language chnages...his attitude sucks...it's really weird. And that's just one example. I could name three guys I know that act likewise.

Has anyone else seen people they know change that radically because of their bike? I have only observed this behaviour from Harley riders (or clones thereof). I've never seen anyone on a FJR1300 of even a Goldwing act this way. I'm sure they are out there...just haven't seen it.

True that. I can only name one...but surely there are others.

And as far as stereotyping people...they've stereotyped themselves with their "zombie" like/ non-individual approach to riding altogether.

Join in the V-twin chant now...but only if you are a true Vee-liever of the cult.

As far as Harley's are concerned; I was in a HD dealership recently with a friend. The sales wank said "What are ya ridin' that old thang for? Boy you need a real bike!"

I pointed at a Wide Glide on the showroom floor and said "You mean THAT thing?...does it come standard with a ski mask?"

Two fellows rolled laughing. The sales wank was clueless. The expression on his face was similar to a cow watching a passing train.

Yes Maximan you are correct,Eleven inches is XSive, even for my BLACK 81 Special.

[MAXIMAN]

I've never had a black Eleven.

So Dan is it true what they say...

Once ya go Black....?

Based on the two experience's I have had,I must admit you are correct.I have two black one's at the moment and I ride both of them on a regular basis.They both have masculine sounding names,but sometimes a name will fool ya.Max,Maxine,know what I mean.

[Parr8hed]

just when I thought that this thread could not get any worse....

Ha ha...

[Shuriken]

I can't stand Harley's. But like Steve, I'd pay $6500 for a V-Rod.
