TheDoor have you read through these threads and picked up on the internal name calling? Posers, pirates, RUB's vs bikers, old school and back-in-the-day?
"Screw it......let's ride" is a great slogan but to me it applies to all rides/riders. Love our HD's but will never understand the attitudes against other brands or ourselves (as HD owners).

Well this is embarrassing..........I just set up an account for my wife this morning and forgot I was logged in under her new account. This message was brought to by IndyClassic and not my newbie (to the forum) AZ LadyRKC.

A co-worker who used to ride was giving me crap b/c I couldn't pop a wheelie on my EGC. Really? That was his reason against Harley's ... they didn't make crotch rockets so they all must be bad ... ???
Get a bike that meets ur needs and ride. I'd like to see him do 500 miles on his crotch rocket and try to walk the next day

Just got banned from a Honda VTX board for defending Harleys.
Did nothing to insult the VTX, just posted some very civil rebuttals to the standard arguments about Harleys being slow, overpriced, obsolete, unreliable pieces of crap. I was hoping to educate them. Doesn't matter that none of the cliches are true anymore, people believe what they want to believe. By knocking someone else's ride, they get to feel superior. Pathetic.
I'm the first one to admit that Harley-Davidson has made some mistakes, such as jettisoning Eric Buell. I'm open to criticism about the moco, but it should be legitimate.

Funny how when I ride with some guys around here, they always put the best looking bikes in the front of the group. Led by a Street Glide, with me in the right slot position on my white Ultra. The other bikes are a Goldwing and a Suzuki Intruder, or maybe a Kawasaki Nomad. They say its because someone has to catch the parts falling off the Harleys, but it is good natured ribbing. My retort is to count the number of Harleys they see on the road and compare it to any one other brand. Usually changes the subject.
I think it is kind of like ***** envy with riders of other brands.
