Who Hates Harley Davidson?

Gosh no, most of them are in those leather bars doing all that other weird shit and comparing assless chaps and those funny hats they wear. So when the action really gets going, do you harleydoods keep those hats on?

Just a simple yes or no will do. No need for pix.

 

Do these assless chaps make my butt look big?

Yesterday I was eating ribs at a Barbeque joint that was close to the local Harley boutique. There were two guy at the table in front of me and I had to smile. They were in full Harley uniform with the dew rags and the vests, requisite Harley sponsored ride patches and Harley branded t-shirts. I was amused because when they got up to leave I noticed they were wearing stone washed denim with pressed creases in them. All that Harley gear was new, no scuffs or dirt anywhere. It made me wonder, do the die hard Harley riders look at the hordes of wanan-bees with contempt? In days past you had to know your machine and be able to turn a wrench to ride with any regularity. Now the only requirement is that you have a gold MasterCard. The Harley Davidson motorcycle company has turned into a giant marketing machine. I think they actually have more in common with Disney since both companies sell a brand and lifestyle rather than any one product.

 

I found this on my computer. I forgot I took a picture of this note that was left on the community bulletin board in our complex. Seems like even non-riders hate Harley Davidson! or at least Harley Davidson Owners.

 

Current sales OTD for a new Harley is around 15K+ and 5k in farkles.

Sturgisland here we come!
UPI April 1, 2O14
Press Release
Disney and Harley-Davidson Announce Joint Venture.
CEO’s Bob Iger of Disney and Keith Wandell of Harley-Davidson announced today in Hollywood that the two giants will join forces in a joint venture for a new theme park to be constructed, as Iger put it, "Somewhere in the west that will exemplify the best of what America stands for.”
Tentative names for the new park are being studied but Chairman Wandell hinted that it would most likely be called Sturgisland in honor of the small Dakota community, mecca for fans of the popular motorcycle. Iger stated that weather conditions in the Dakotas prompted the two giants to get together and provide as he put it, "A real down home American experience open 365 days a year.” Zeimer added that,” Now everyone can go to Sturgis anytime they want.”
Details were not specific but both Iger and Wandell indicated that the full force of Disney and Harley-Davidson would be behind the effort, including a number of Harley-Davidson repair shops positioned on major highways to provide service for riders and their machines to, as Wandell put it, " Take care of our loyal customers in their time of need.”
Iger commented that with the advantageous position that the GATT agreement provides, all merchandise sold in the retail and souvenir shops would be manufactured in either Beijing or Tijuana, BC displaying a new composite logo featuring Mickey Mouse riding a Harley-Davidson wearing a World War Two style helmet favored by many enthusiasts.
A select few park themes were provided in the press release package, Both Iger and Wandell would not comment further, but stated that "What we want to do here is conjoin Disney, Harley-Davidson and the American People in a safe and controlled environment and to break down the myths that motorcyclists are somehow different than regular people.”
According to the press release, the park would be thematic and areas of entertainment would follow the time-tested Disney method of naming the various areas, rides and streets in honor of the Harley-Davidson product line. "In the works," according to the release will be Knuckleheadland, Panhead USA, EVO Alley, Flathead Lane and others to be named at a later date. Futuristic rides and expositions will include "The Magic Mountain Hillclimb and the Hall Of The Presidents in honor of the giant Carvings located in the Black Hills.” A bust of George W. Bush will be added wearing the popular military style helmet.

OK... It is Official! I can now go to my grave knowing I have seen it all!

Today about 2pm I was driving in my car in Racine Wisconsin when what do I see turning left in front of me? A dude on a Harley, fully equiped with a Bat Wing fairing and "Tall as can be" Ape Hangers!

Now I always thought that the Bat Wing fairing was for wind protection and those short bars fit nicely behind the fairing! Or is it that the fairing makes the rider too hot and Ape Hangers must be installed as a form of Harley A/C. Is this a new trend? Am I getting too old to be on top of the latest styles? Is this the new cutting edge technology comming out of Milwaukee? I wish I had a picture!

Lets see... How do I fit Ape Hangers to the VFR? More upright, comfotable position..... Easier to find than Heli bars. Hey this guy might be on to something!

 

Yeah, the ape hangers are making a comeback. I guess HD riders were getting their pits overheated.

 

Had two seperate nimrods on hardleys with those stupid ass bars pass me over the double yellow into the diamond lane and was doin 75...WHY ?

I get the fairing, it is probably one of the most functional things on a Harley cruiser. I also get the "Old School Cool" of the Ape Hangers on a chopper but both on the same bike?????

 

Used to be baffled why a percentage of Harley riders would want the inconvenience of riding a motorcycle with Ape Hangers but through careful observation have concluded many of them share a certain affinity with simians.

 

Watch the ape hanger guys on windy days as they head down the highway. Hilarious

 

We don't like to admit it but some (a very small percentage) of harleydoods dare to be sort of kind of different. I was thinking at first maybe the dude has sweaty hands and an allergy to bugs.

 

Talk about an ass-hole design, can you imagine designing something like handle bars that can not be used to move the bike when its not running? The proper procedure to move one of these 600+# turds with ape-hangers is to get as close to the bottom of the neck where they are bolted down to the tree. If you push where the grips are, you stand the chance of bending/braking those bars. Don't ask me how I know this stuff :sad:

Imagine if the Japanese sold stuff like this? That would be truly hilarious. :thumbsup:

 

Gawd, you guys around here make it tough to own a Harley...You notice I say OWN a Harley, not worship the shit!

Nice thing about my Harley I don't have to worry about a speeding ticket, but my VFR, I have had it up to 160 MPH that lil fella is going to get me in trouble...either killed or a ticket...

...I like the Cruise of the Harley, but also love the Adrenalin rush from the VFR What can I say, I love Bikes!

 

VFR777...please tell us you DONT have apes....dont think we can handle it

Pulled up next to a HD at a gas station, was met with no nod, no hello, no acknowledgement of any kind. But hey, that's fine, no one owes me so much as a tip of the hat even if I open the door for them. Live and let ride. What really rubbed me the wrong way though was the "RAP blub RAP RAP" everyone at the station was graced with before he decided to ride away. Fucking ear splitting and completely unnecessary. Dick bag.

 

And his gang...Bag-O-Dicks

Owning a Harley can't be all that easy. There are a shitload of them for sale everywhere.

Harleys will get you a ticket in a school zone.

Can we substitute worship for nocturnal fantasy?

Criuse is more a sportbike dude.

 

What about "baby-apes?" they have a place. ound:

 

Don't expect that from the "I'm way too cool have to do anything other than exist" harleydoods.. Try this one. Next time one pulls up in the next lane over at a light, Don't look. Ten to one the dude will rev his engine and drop the hammer taking off.
