If the thread didn't go where you wanted it to I'm pretty sure you can delete the entire thread by deleting the original post.

Why, because a Harley guy can't take a little ribbing about Harleys on a Suzuki forum? I'm sure Harley forums are no stranger to bashing Jap scrap.

No, because Redman seems genuinely concerned that the thread didn't take the direction he had intended.

I think Redman knows he can delete the thread if he wants to.

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.

25+ years ago there was a magazine called, Biker Lifestyle. It had very few tech articles. Lots of picks of drunks at weekend parties and pages of tats, letters from the "inside" and so on. There was once an editorial column that directly said, "If you don't ride a bike, you ain't a biker.....and that geek on a Japanese moped is more of a biker than you." It was retracted the next month and the editor was gone.

tech tip: if yer looking for information on the internet to help you fix a harley DO NOT type the word "harley" into your search!!! just use the model and year. otherwise you'll end up with scams and pictures of tattooed girls in bikinis sitting on overdone choppers. ok, that's not so bad but you're not gonna get anything done....

Guess I'm kind of in the middle. Some Harley's suck and some Suzuki's suck. But neither suck as much as Prius's.

In reply to the video, come on. It should be running wide open,then put a sledge to the crankcase,and watch it go down. Then start on the glass parts and work your way around.And by the way,a gentleman always lets a lady hit the tank first.

[Eli69]

those guys were anything but gentlemen. check out the video by the same bunch called "female tug of war". fish hooks in their backs. I. S. Y. Not.

[limeex2]

Sorry, I forgot to turn off the sarcasm at the work door....

[Eli69]

100% ignorant, disgusting, f-ed up people.

[trevor]

Well there goes my idea for the pnw rally.

Can't talk people into being abused like that unless the people were raised with very little self respect. Sickness at home.

i wonder if any of those big(fat), tough biker guys got hooked up.... or was it only those poor, deluded girls.
