Just about said something to "Got Harley" guy.

[Gorminrider]

The next video on the YouTube list showed what kind of people they are. A 57 second clip, with the same people, shows a woman stapling a $20 bill to a man's *******, with the staple likely penetrating his left nut.

I couldn't resist that either. Is that a birth-control clinic, US-style? The gubmint sends out undercover female operatives with $20 bills and a stapler to Harley fests?
Hope it works .

I ride a Harley! Well, a Buell "but its the same thing" says everyone. They sure arent common around here. When I ride downtown and the cars are blocking the street so all you can see is my helmet, the guys in vests all start perking up to see what kind of hog I have. Then they see im on a naked bike that only sounds like a harley. Then they get a confused look on their face as I ride away. Even better is the gixxer, R1, Ninja riders that all want to race. I normally ignore it but sometimes I have to put them in their place and race them to the next light. When they finally catch up I usually hear "What the f*ck?". Horsepower sells bikes. Torque wins races.

You need to field a team of Fatboys in WSB.
Really rough up those Ducs and Gixxers.

Torque gets you there, Horsepower keeps you there.

Ok since everyone is getting mad at me, obviously my little buell cant beat a fully tuned race bike. Nor was I comparing it to them or the guys that ride them(fully tuned race bikes). Im talking about the guys here on the streets. I can out ride a lot of them on my bike. And of course a bike with 90hp and 80lbs of torque isnt going to beat a bike with 150hp and 90lbs of torque. But a bike with 150hp and 120lbs will beat a bike of similar weight with 170hp and 100lbs of torque. Yall are too literal

It's unbelievable that this thread is still active. I've been away for a while. Months, actually. I see the Harley bashing hasn't let up any. What a waste of time and effort. Been on my HD alot lately. The old girl's got 65,000+ miles on her. More than most of the GS's here.

[JEEPRUSTY]

more than most how the hell do you know that?
Ludicrous statement
HARLEYS SUCK!

[FLHGSRay]

You should try eating more fiber. On the miles thing, I'm willing to be proven wrong. But I'm not. I'll start. I bought my '79 GS1000E used in May of 2011, I think. It had about 25,000 miles on it. I bought my '07 Electra Glide new in '06. It now has 65,000+ miles on it. Your turn. Pretty sure the only responses will be from guys with more miles than that.

And by the way, in my absence from the forum, I didn't badmouth any Suzukis. Not once.

[JEEPRUSTY]

Suzukis SUCK

harleys suck, but so do yamahas. i really hate yamahas, especially viragos and vmaxes.

Let me stress something, as the original poster, ..... was not my intent to criticize/bash/degrade the Harleys or Harley riders. Not specifically Harley. But biker in general. By biker I mean someone that wants to BE a biker, more than just being someone who enjoys riding.

Just that the guy had the biker get-up and big letter sweatshirt, and the sweatshirt was asking a question (Got Harley?) ... and I wanted to give an answer to the question, and thinking how I could pose the answer in terms of "No, but I do have my bike here, and I don't see any other bikes." I thought that would be fun to joke around and answer his question like that.

THen I remembered where I had seen that guy before, and how annoying that experience was. And then I thought that I would not be able to act like I was joking around, that I would not be joking around, I would be snide and rude. So I elected to not say anything.
