All the sh!t talk about Harley Davidison

[Feanor]

Wince in pain?? I'd be drooling with my eyes glazed over.

Oh no no, I wasn't trying to insult the genius that you and I and many other motorcyclists knew John Britten to be, but just that we value and drool over his designs because they mean something to us because we have a shared understanding and knowledge.

The same shared understanding and knowledge that HD riders have that causes them to drool over things like ape hangers and tassles and laugh at plastic and fairings.

I was just trying to show that in many areas, there is crossover which proves that we have more in common than we have in variance.

There are HDs that I think are amazing looking, and superbikes that make me go "hmmmm" (visually) even though I have a deeper understanding of the design excellence of that particular machine.

I like to consider motorcycles as "art" and like art, I appreciate all forms of creativity and expression. When a sportbiker "bags" on a Harley, to me it's like when a Classical Pianist calls Jazz "junk" It just doesn't mesh logically or even emotionally...

It looks like the headers are right where your knees would tuck in. Is that just a weird perspective thing that is happening in the photo?

With forward controls your feet are out front.

If anyone has the nads to tell Beau to his face, I know where he will be this coming Friday and Saturday. I double douche dare every one of you e-penors to show up and put your sport bike where your e-penor is and do something about it!

He'll be waiting for you at the bar.

I asked my brother-in-law what other bikes he test rode before buying his HD. His response, "none, why".

He loves his Harley much more than he likes to ride.

A harley thread devolves into "oh yeah? I'll KICK YOUR ASS!" what a surprise.

 

[brichter]

Usually, those who complain about Harleys can be pretty easily ignored. However a Harley with loud (and illegal) aftermarket pipes really can't be ignored. I probably wouldn't be so down on Harleys and their riders if they would just keep the damn stock pipes on. Instead, they make sure everyone within a 10 block radius (or more) knows they're bad-ass. For that they're douche bags. (And the same to anyone on any other kind of bike with an excesively loud pipe.)

Call me old and crotchety, but I like my quiet.

Guy with a yellow Duc down the street has illegal pipes that set off the car alarms, too. So, I guess maybe you don't have to ride an HD to corner the market on that douchebaggery.

 

[nazgulnarsil]

harley and ducati riders have quite a bit of overlap. wonder why. *pro-tip: more money than sense*.

I guess your reading comprehension needs some work, eh?

Friday 7pm meet at McCarthy's Bar on the corner of Marsh & Nipomo for the HOOLIGAN RIDE...

Oh yeah that's it. I'm just fucking rich.

 

[nazgulnarsil]

you don't need a lot of money to waste money. in fact they sort of don't go together

 

[Kornholio]

I guess I fail to see how buying the motorcycle I wanted is a waste of money. Better yet, why can't that be said about any bike that any particular person thinks is a pile? Including yours. :|

It's just your opinion. Get over yourself.

 

[rydmohr]

All Moto's suck except for mine. Even if you bought the same bike it's still not the same because you are either a pussy-poser or squid. I know this because I am the baddest mother fucker on earth. :|

 

[nazgulnarsil]

yeah well that's just, like, your opinion man.

 

[Feanor]

I think that this pretty much says everything that needs to be said on the subject

 

[nazgulnarsil]

nothing *needs* to be said on most of the subjects on barf

anyway, my preferences are more correct than yours by virtue of being mine.

 

[JakesKTM]

Werd.

I think vader is justifiably upset by what she sees as a male dominated culture.

Yes, now I'm "school yard bullying."

I have no doubt you would beat my ass. Does that make you feel better? Does it make you more of a man? Are you the kind of person who stops listening to people when your ego gets damaged and then resorts to violence?

You are the OP and stir up the shit talk, and when it gets to be too much you challenge people to a bar fight. How fucking pathetic. :|

 

[Feanor]

Uh oh, it's getting ugly.

I think we need to settle this with a game of full-contact chess.

I never heard him say anything of the sort. I think you took it that way. In other words, stop being a keyboard warrior if you're a pussy.
