harleys everywhere

My brother has a 2001 Night Train that has Vance and Hines shorty pipes on it and it sounds great! It has a very nice almost Flowmaster sound and isn't too loud. He hates it though, you can't rattle people's windows five miles away. The more obnoxious it is the better in his eyes, especially when blasting around town bar to bar half drunk at 1:00am. He tells me it's a kind of cool I will never understand. I have no problem with Harleys I just hate when people take their pride in their bikes too far. Going out and buying a bike that ANYONE can buy does not elevate you to god-like status no matter how much leather you buy. The funny thing is I've propably ridden more Harleys than any other bike (and I have had a good bit of bikes) because everyone thinks I will be converted after riding it and will go and buy one. I ride everything I can get my hands on because I might find something else I never knew I liked. A bike is a bike I'll ride them all. Except yellow ones if I can help it.

For some very articulate Harley bashing, I love this site by a guy with a very obvious chip on his shoulder. It's an extremely amusing read.

Black Echo's American Angst: Making fun of flag slathered retards and trend ***** fashion lemmings since 1993'

See especially "Why a Harley Davidson isn't a Real American Motorcycle."

I don't necessarily agree with the guy, but it's always fun to watch someone try to work the burr outta their saddle.

Boy, you are gone for a day around here and it breaks loose........

The biggest problem with the world is there are adam henrys in all walks of life. Certain walks just seem to be noticed more I guess. I personally am in the boat that I like all motorcycles. I've only met a few I didn't care for. As you can see by my list I've owned, Harley's, Honda's, Suzuki's, Kawasaki's and Triumph. They have all treated me well.

I think there is just a stigmatism out there about people who ride certain bikes and most of the populous just goes with that. I've found great people riding just baout everything and I found people I can't stand riding just about everything. Went for a ride last Saturday. 3 Harley Baggers, 1 Yamaha FJR 1300, 1 Honda RC51, 1 Honda St and 1 Honda Goldwing and me on the S3. We had a great time. BTW that Yamaha can move out on 6th gear roll-ons (Wow). The best part is everyone was checking each others rides out.

I would have to agree that HD has the best service and network available to their customers. Owning two there service was bar-none way better then the Triumph dealerships I have dealt with. I think part of that comes from the Triumph dealerships dealing with multiple manufactures where HD only has their stuff and the Buells. Not sure if that should make a difference but maybe it does. One of the shops here also sell the Ducs and seem to be much more interested in the Ducs then Triumph.

I'll get off my soap box now. To close Motorcycles are cool and can't we all just get along even with the ol cheapster and his yella fella.....
