Who Hates Harley Davidson?

That Hardleydude forgot Miguel Duhamel and Scott Russell. lol They rode the turd.

 

A bit harsh there, I'd say less than 50% but unfortunatly they're the ones you most notice on the road.

My main gripe is not so much the bike nore the riders that progressed through other makes that know how to ride rather the cage drivers that had aspired to own a Harley as their first bike thinking themselves king shit on the road.

These are the ones with the "thou shalt not pass" mentality through the twsties making themselves difficult to pass by accelerating flat out out of a corner, hover around the center line in a short straight then hard break into the corner, then repeat. This kind of inconsiderate attitude by a significant number is frustrating to better riders on more capable machines trying to pass and making them a target of generalisation by labeling all Harley riders as dicks.

 

Or Duhamel's pop for that matter.. With some of the harleydoods in my hood they didn't forget. They don't know shit in the first place...

 

Mr Daytona approves this. lol

 

I've watched this thread a long time and finally concluded that, no, I don't like Harley riders at all...in general. I don't even wave at them any more. Too many of them are assholes...how's that for being direct? I get tired of the attempted macho, bad ass attitudes that too many of them have. They like to block sport bike traffic and, in general don't have any riding skills to speak of. I've had them pull stupid stunts around me when I was minding my own business. When I come up on a Harley, I make it a point to pass them hard and quick then get them away from me. As a group, they're dangerous riders and assholes. My opinion only took decades to gel. Hell with them. I don't care who agrees or not. Fuck 'em.

 

DA, hit it on the nail bro.
Tried hitting that like button 10 times. I only know two hardly riders that are great guys and riders, one will pretty much spank 90% of the sportbikes on his street rod....but in general you are correct.

 

There's a rumor floating around that harleypersons are now asking for thier own bathrooms.

 

Indeed, one must look after ones goats.

 

When I look at them I see 1930's/40's technology in the basic bike. That's fine for being nostalgic and all but in this day and age they are way behind and will stay there most likely. The after market is big on them and there are some engines that will make 140hp but they are 1900+cc's. They also cost between $6000-$10,000 for the change over. Still kind of slugs with 700-800lb bikes that can only go straight. Seeing I haven't drank the cool-aid I just don't get it and never will.

 

I work next to a new doode and I knew he has some sort of HD of some kind due to the fact that I saw him wearing a bar & shield shirt once. Long story short, everyone where I work knows I ride a bike, (hard to miss a HI-ViZ Aerostich suit.) Well anyway, on one occasion he mentioned something about someone his wife knew dying on a "crotch-rocket" totally ignarant chit really. Gets my goat too, but F-EM all :flip: I had a chance to get a super deal on a big twin for $2500 that I could have turned around the next day and make double my money, only thing that killed it was moving and having my wife give birth that week! Not my cup of tea but I have ridden them enough, doesnt fit my riding style, dont wana sit on my ass bone. ound: eace:

 

They don't sit on their assbones. They sit on their heads.

 

Assbones sit on them and one sits on a VFR .. cough cough...... Puss n Boots

 

I like big V-twins!

 

It is even more fun to ride! The biggest issues are it's lack of range (130 miles from a full tank to walking) and the overwhelming temptation to run at speeds above posted limits. It is a laugh riot in the twisties but not a comfortable all day ride.

 

Bling machines. Shiny gypsy trash trucks. Fart tractors. Potato people. Smelly vest carriers. Ape couches. Debt dumps. Hog wallows. Noisy road blocks. Thug killing machines. Skank trucks. Tattoo billboards.

Hell, I could do this all day, ROFLMAO!!!

 

My old boss at the bike shop used to call them "Boat Anchors." Bear in mind that he was a factory Harley mechanic during the 60s and had his own independent Harley repair shop in the 70s.

 

Thats about as funny as its gona get here me thinks :thumbsup:
