Who Hates Harley Davidson?

I will if I can get them at the library.

 

The my shit don't stink attitude for the newbies and wannabes----cracks me up , today cruising in the car I come up on a brand new Harley with no gloves , no jacket and those biker boots (brand new) low 70's but of course has to have the white long sleeve dress shirt and the leather vest with the big logo on the back that looks like its never seen the light of day. Had two two BMW's pass him ATG on and noticed one look over and just shake his head. Now I'm a rider since the age 8 and always wave at all bikes (not scooters, not real bikes) and NEVER get the wave back from Harley riders. So yes I pretty much hate the riders attitude and there freekin lead sleds they think they know how to ride. Wonder what the average miles these jokers actually rack up yearly . Hey, everyone has an opinion just like ass holes, isn't that what were talking about ?

 

Hate is a strong word but not strong enough to describe how tired I am of the noise that emanates from those poor handling over hyped hunks of shit.

 

This about sums it up for me...

Underpowered, underbraked, they handle like a freakin boat anchor, and cost 3x the price of a comparable Japanese bike (though only twice the cost of a euro-ride). Don't get me wrong, but with all our greatness, America does suck at 2 things, and building bikes is one of them. How a rolling turd like an HD can ever be the icon of American motorcycling is not only a mystery, but kind of embarrassing.

Somebody once told me that the best thing to ever happen to American motorcycling is HD, and the worst thing to ever happen to American motorcycling is HD. I couldn't agree more.

 

I don't hate Harleys, just the stereo types that buy them. I would be the last person to criticise somebody else's ride. The bike themselves? their pretty nostalgic, good bike for those that like life on good straight roads, many people buy cruisers for just that, so much so that the Jap, English & Italian manufacturers have all made their own. I'll have to admit, I've seen a lot more wankers riding Harleys. There is a lot of people out there that just don't like Honda's & think were all wankers to!(While most Ducati riders think that all other bike riders are).

 

I really can't understand all this animosity toward Harley-Davidsons and harleydoods and dudettes and their inbred gits and their dogs and pet rats. I think you guys here are just plain mean sometimes. I hope your moms do not know y'all write all this mean stuff.

 

I don't hate Harleys. I hate that a bunch of gay pirates have so ruined the perfect women's starter bike.

 

When you foster a "us vs them" attitude to advance a marketing brand, with a healthy dose of Americanism and flag waving thrown in, you often get a bigoted response on the part of the true believers.

 

We agree:

2000 HARLEY DAVIDSON HERITAGE SOFTAIL CLASSIC LOW MILAGE

 

What about the bro wave do you give or get a bro wave from Harley riders??

Me when I was on my Harley the true bikers would snub your ass in a heartbeat, where guys like me non bikers on a Harley would always wave...

 

Wow, Stuka...you hit on a phrase that is meaningful to me. One day about 20 years ago I was with three other bicyclists on a gorgeous road in the Saguaro National Monument (since changed to "Park"), we were enjoying the solitude when suddenly two crazy-loud harleys blasted by--they clearly didn't like our presence so they waited until they were on us to crank it open and surge by us with maximum "blaaaaat" from their stubby pipes. I was so started it was a wonder I didn't over-react and jerk into their path. My pal just shook his head and said "all that noise just to get down the road."

 

Dude, being gay one week and not being gay the next is a little hard to swallow if you get my drift. That soft tail should sell right away along with the other thousands of Harleys for sale on Craigslist.

 

Are we speaking from experience??? There has got to be some leather in that closet/house somewhere. otstir:

I will have to agree with you on that one! I never intended on buying a Harley in the first place...long story. I thought my wife and I could go touring on it, which we did a few trips. Getting too old now and that freaking stock seat SUCKS!

Billy, all kidding aside, you have to admit it is one beautiful piece of machinery.

I just never have dug all the shit that goes along with owning one.

I really don't know where all the hate comes from on both sides....bottom line we all have one thing in common we love Motorcycles and the freedom it brings riding them.

 

I leave the real experience up to others that swing that way or want to. Do I have leather in my closet? Sure do. Fabric too. Shall we start with shoes and boots or jackets and pants? Boots I get from Dehner's in Omaha. My best street leather jacket is a Hein Gericke Paris-Dakar. Got an Aerostich zip together suit too. I think you are fishing for those crotchless chaps those are more suited to your bi-weekly style than mine.

There you go with the gay stuff again. Your seat Sucks! , you have a soft tail for sale? So is this wife under current legislation a dude? An opened ended declaration to say the least..

You bought one mainly because the sales dude sold you on the idea rather than the bike. What you need to figure out is that most of the comments here are miniscule compared to what the harleydoods say on their forums. Also, much of what is said here is tongue in cheek as opposed to harleydood fora that really believes all that smack. The major difference is that Harleys are popular motorcycles but not very good motorcycles. They have a formula that has been time tested for over 100 years. It works, as you can see..

Sorry dude you have bought into the BS about all this lifestyle and love shit and have the noob jacket all over your self. Loving a machine is about as logical as naming a fucking snake. The real lifestyle dudes are a dying breed with copycats trying to take their places in line. The real lifestyle dudes any more and bless them are the real fast guys.

They do have nice paintjobs.
