Ugh... we have a bunch of wanna-bes and Crotch Rockets here.

Although today 3 out of 4 bikes on the pad are Cruisers... One Dyna, One Fatboy, and a VTX.

I think there are 3 or 4 Harleys at the company... And the ricers give us crap every chance they can... Whatever... mine looks better and you can hear me leaving at 3:30. =)

I am in the Coast Guard, currently serving on a 65 foot harbor tug. We have a 6 man crew, all of which ride Harleys. 1 Street Glide, 2 Sporties, 1 Wideglide, 1 Super Glide and a Night Train. We are equal opportunity riders, so we make sure all of the Harley families are represented. [8D]

jklemm-

I'm in the army and I work in a small shop. Nobody touches our bikes here. We mess with the guy that rides the purple v-rod. I keep telling him to stop parking his crotch rocket next to the harleys. he gets pissed which i think is funny.

I work in a warehouse and we have seperate bike parking right next to the entrance to the building , not covered yet , but I'm working on that , HA HA HA ! Got 150 or so employees and know at least 14-15 Harleys have been parked outside at one time . Not a bad ratio , about 1 in 10 rides a Harley , usually a metric or two parked close by . Funny part is only maybe 1 or 2 of those bikes were bought at the local HD dealer . They use to jack up bike prices 5-10K by dumping a bunch of accessories on them . This was at the Fairfield , Ca dealer , they moved to Vacaville and continued this practice . Noticed in the last year or so 95% of their bikes are stock with MSRP's , guess they finally figured it out ! Back to Harley Parking ; As soon as it quits raining I'll post a picture of our line-up pretty impressive !

Must be nice guys... There's only one other person in our whole building that rides and his is an old Yamaha Seca... A real POS. I don't want him parking that thing anywhere near mine, but most days that I do ride to work mine is the only bike out there anyway. I think his wife is a bit anti-bike...

However, EVERYONE in our office has a cousin/friend/uncle/brother that has had a horrible motorcycle crash, involving loss of limbs or brain power, and they LOVE telling me all about it....
