The word Poser comes to mind. I'll give your buddy credit for being honest with people when they ask him what he rides though. It would appear he wants to be part of the HD social family, and not the riding family.

In my ******* days I would have called him a Poser and called him out at a rally and that would have been that, but I am trying my hardest to have my temper in check so I just bite my tongue.
Also mind you I am 23 he is 38-39 area. Youd think by now hed get it....

"So he dropped 9600 on a 09 Valcann 900 and has put $1500-$2000"
Does he know what a new one costs?? Or was it a VN 1500? Either way he paid wwaaaaaaaaay tooooo much!
2009 Model Type CruiserBASE MSRP(US) $7,699.00

Damn I sure would have loved to sell this guy a bike. You did the right thing by helping him but based on this transaction you mentioned.....I got a bike I can sell him!!!!
I have a used chrome voltage rectifier cover from a 99 VN1500 that I would sell to him for... uh..hmmm. $250.00
I also have some "gently used" HD T shirts from several locations...they are a steal at..lets see...hmmm $45.99 each +ship!
Sorry dude but your bud needs some enlightenment or at the least an education regarding motorcycles.
Read my signature on the bottom...quite fitting

I tried to help him out, there were several nice HD's for sale when he was looking for example, a duce (Forgot the year) for 12K had like 4k miles on it, fully chromed out, HD custom paint, gear helmets the whole 9 and I showed him this bike and he was like, it is just another HD. thats when I was like wow, good to go man you got this one on your own.
(Someone should tell him Harleys hold value much bteer then a metric.) I would but I have washed my hands with this. I have already told him all this when he was looking/buying his bike.... didnt want to hear it from me.

I have a friend who makes a real good living & could afford a harley, but rides a 600 suzuki that he bought used. He has harley decals on every vehicle he owns, a harley jacket, shirts & even a laniard he has his security tag from work hanging on. He won't lie about what he rides, but he will skirt around the truth as much as possible

Let's see, you get upset about him buying and wearing HD gear because he doesn't owna a HD. But, you only have one HD tee shirt and you own a HD, and it was given to you. Hmmmmm.
Methinks that maybe you may be upset with your friend because he asked you for help and then didn't buy what you suggested.
Not trying to offend you, but I think this is a little deeper than what someone wears. BTW, I ride a HD, I do wear some of their gear, I can afford it, and I like it. I also wear UA gear, never attended classes there, Saint's gear, Never played there, NASCAR gear, never raced with them, etc........... Just so everyone knows.
Chill and have a great day.
