Default How do you interpret this?

MOTORCYCLE TOURING - WHICH BIKE TO TOUR ON

I happen onto this British website.
Take a look at what they had to say about Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Sounds to me like someone doesn't like Harley's.

What's your take on this?

Consider the source. Most of 'em don't even have the sense enuff to visit a dentist... not to mention that they still think of us as the "colonies". They're just jealous.

Compaired with the rest, the HD does weigh more. Stop by the dealer for say 2-3 hours and then try to tell me most are not over weight. (riders)

They drive on the wrong side of the road. And like Phil said every heard of a DENTIST. They still believe in a Queen and Price Charles.[sm=americanasmiley.gif][sm=biker2.gif]

I have a lot of respect for British people. They are generally, very down to earth folks with a keen scense of propriety. (of course, some are green haired punk wierdos)


Truth is, they don't understand most of what we do or say. There are a few who will go the extra mile to learn what we're all about. But most will just sit back and criticize what they perceive as odd behavior.

It's no wonder that something as completely american as a Harley would escape their collective understanding.

pay it no mind.


pip-pip.
