Who Hates Harley Davidson?

My wife calls them "Fartleys" because she says all they do is go farting around the neighborhood! She cannot stand the sound that Harley's make, and she is nearly deaf! Sometimes when she hears one she takes out her hearing aid because she can't stand the sound they make. Oddly, she has the same opinion of Harley's and Harley owners and she doesn't even ride, other than pillion.

 

Does anyone understand the Harley "new model" thing? Every year they have an array of models but they all look the same to me. It would be like Honda have every bike in their show room with a Gold Wing motor in it.

 

They call thiers crabs..

 

AKA Cannibal Crotch Crickets or STCs "Sexually Transmitted Critters.."

 

Your giving them a lot of credit at 700lbs. LOL
The tech that is that old and that expensive is really amazing. Charge 2k extra for a springer front? lmao These days I just point and laugh at them when I'm on a bike or in my truck. That really gets their goat. Saw a Hardley rider the other day with a full face helmet and no Chinese Harley clothing on, he must have been from Europe.

 

For every knucklehead, pan head and shovel head there's a shit head....................................

 

I just don't get their lack respect for people's peace of mind. What gives them the right to run around with straight pipes? I worked with a dude that every time he started his bike, the alarms went off in 2 or 3 cars. He thought is was funny.

 

how much "American HP" is made in Japan, Korea, and China. lol Then tell him to buy a Victory or Indian.

 

That's because they really don't have dicks, so I've heard. Riding a Harley makes them think they do...so I've heard.

 

My understanding is that all one has to do to use the facilities is to declare the gender bent of the day. I tried this at Walmart the other day and they said no, I could not squat to pee in the women's bathrooms.

I'll take your word for the other.

Maybe Knight will chimp in with one of his pole polls and we can crunch numbers...meh...

 

I refer to their bikes as scooters or over priced scooters when they call mine a crotch rocket that tends to put a knot in their panties. Or trailer weights if I can see low miles on the odometer.

It's odd how few "real bikes" and " hardcore bikers" I see on the road with me when its raining, or below freezing.
But hey what do I know I'm just some "kid" on some plastic jap crap rice burner.

 

So, I was coming out of a store and in the parking lot was a guy, standing next to a two tone blue Harley dresser, glide of some kind. (I don't keep up with pantheon of Harley models.) I like bikes and I told hit that, not only was it a nice day to ride but that he had a nice looking scoot. Then he launched in on his plans to remove the top box, install apes, install special coated throttle cables etc. Then he regaled me with stories of his panhead build that he is currently working and the BMW he keeps for long trips. The guy was so much all about his "stuff" that I felt really felt uncomfortable talking to him. I didn't have much to say. I didn't even know that people cared what color their throttle cables were. He said the the Harley he was riding had over 75,000 miles on it and I resisted the urge to ask him how many times the engine has been majored and how many top end rebuilds it has had. I guess I don't talk Harley Davidson well.

 

In sales, I noticed people love to talk about themselves. ....I'm surprised you didn't act like ya got a call and boogie out of there.

 

They hate us too. Ignorant people use the term "crotch rocket". They couldn't define it if they were asked.......try it some time. "Trailer weight"......ROFLMAO!

The last thing a Harley rider wants to do is ride it and put miles on the odometer. Maybe that's why few of them know how to ride.

Make discrimination legal.

 

Wait! What? Oh, I HATE HARLEY DAVIDSONS! That's me!

 

Even though a lot of people don't like Harleys, me included, I do credit the company with outstanding marketing skills and effectiveness. Anytime a company can play on a person's primal emotions and get them to buy and embrace a product in cult-like fashion, including clothes and accessories, with a ridiculous price mark-up, they have succeeded as a company in spite of what we consider shit for a product. Honda would be so fortunate to do the same as a brand and they might sell more VFR's in the states. It puzzles me how so many people identify their lives with a pile of steel junk that is over-priced and under-performs. It's the herd mentality to the extreme. I have little to no brand loyalty so I really don't see me being a bad azz with a Hardley. I think I'll be OK with that.
