Being mispelled, it's Twinkee and my buddies ride them and I havn't questioned their sexual preferance but now that I think about it. I'm alittle concerned
I'll give the TC's some respect when they earn it. My 95 sporty, 95 FLHTC, and my 1975 93" nitrous burning Shovel will toast any of the twinkies around here. So let those guys spend $32,000+ on a new Choking Chicken CVO and I will still show them tailights. I love it when I take the Shovel out with "Antique plate" on the back and smoke one. The guys buddies have a field day saying things like "Hey Fred you just got smoked by an antique". Unfortunately all the local dealers know my bikes so when the guy brings his bike in because "something is wrong", they try to explain why their brand new state of the art harley can't keep up. It's things lik this, that keep me smiling !!!!!!!!!!!
I've got 3 Harleys, an EVO Road King, ironhead, and a Shovel. The sporty is on loan to my Dad for an indefinite period. I'm missing it right now even with two other scooters in the garage.
TC's are fine as long as you do not refer to them as "Twinkies"....its a bit like calling Predator "Curly"......calling a H-D after the gay word for "sweet young gay boys" is only ever going to cause problems and whereas a cat that is pissed at you can **** in your shoe, the TC has to devise other methods to get the message across....
You'll have to excuse me....I'm not up on the gay lingo. TC's have been called Twinkies since they were born. I didn't invent the term, you may want to start a thread in the touring section and ask them to knock it off. I doubt it will help but it will be interesting to watch.
28yrs ago it was see no Evo hear no Evo .... in a few years the TC will be history and a new era will begin. That's life.
In a few more years when the water cooled EGR Harley motor is advertising to attract the ozone worshippers, the Evo will still be considered the engine that put Harley back on the map and a Twinkee will still be a Twinkee that promoted Tiawan from a 3rd world country with it's Chrome industry.
