PURE JEALOUSY! I had 4 Hondas before getting my Glide. With every Honda came the same thought: someday I will get a Harley. Fortunately my wife got tired of hearing it and told me to go buy one. The last Goldwing had 76,000 miles, so I actually listened to her. Best move ever.
One bad apple with colors on in a go-go bar gets me moving on. unless I'm with 2 or 3 friends. It's not the bikes . Its the riders that can scare other riders that give us the bad name.
Maybe if we as harley riders would quit hating on each other them fools would stop hating also. We cant even get along with each other much less anybody else. The other day I start a thread about shorts and now I'm a poser, an *******, a *****, I have the IQ of a dog or a cat and I dont have enough brain function to qualify as a human or I'm gay because I wear chaps when its cold, and we're not gonna mention loud pipes because I've been bitched at on here about that and all this came from fellow harley riders. So if you was to ask me I would say that we have enough to worry about with each other before we worry about everybody else. Just my .02
I worked with a guy that would rag on my bike constantly. So just for fun every now and then I would sneak out to the parking lot and spill a little oil under his bike. Would drive him nuts. He'd be laying on his back with a flash light looking for the source, and I'd be laughing and busting his chops the whole time.,
As it should be. You ride Motorcycles. Why close your mind? I love Harley's but there are so many great bikes out there I'd love to have in my garage one day including a Moto Guzzi California or Griso, Ducati GT 1000, a couple of Triumphs... All of the ones I'm referencing have many of the same qualities I love in H-D's: air cooled, classic designs and a long history. And that's just a small non-sportbike portion of the bikes out there.
Hell, I would really dig a Royal Enfield for havin' a blast just puttin' around town and pulling 80mpg IN STYLE!
My last bike was a Moto Guzzi Mille.... I would like to have a California Classic in my stable at some point in time as well... And maybe a California 1100i as well.
What a whining thread! Isn't winter over?! I swear people make chit up just to have something to whine about. I've never had a single person bash Harley around me and every time I ride all the other brands are waving as they go by. If there was so much "Harley hate" I doubt they'd all be waving as they went by. Not that it even matters or anyone should give a chit.
Man, there seems to be a lot of people on this forum with really low self-esteem that feels the need to be accepted. Good grief, grow up.

yeah toast thats true, i have come out of the shops os something to see guys standing around looking at my bike, and seen it happen to other harleys,i can honestly say i have NEVER seen any one standing around a crotch rocket!!
i must say i find the pirate outfits a little embarrasing, but cant be as bad as a poweranger suit!! lol
That's funny! I was riding last summer with two friends. One on a '09 RK and the other on a '08 Ultra. Both of them have chrome everywhere. We stop for gas and go in the store. As we are standing at the register we can see two guys looking at our bikes. My buddies are already puffing up their chest thinking that they are eyeballing the HD's. We walk out and the guys turn and ask, "What kind of sport tourer is that, it's really nice" It was great, you could see the wind coming out of both my buddies. The guys never once acknowledged that there were even any HD's there. My buddies never said a word about it.
