Did you make a left turn in front of him or otherwise try and run him down? I understand that you cagers do that sort of thing
Harley tins? Tour Glide? Have you ever seen a Gold Wing tank or motor? My eyes are getting bad..but not THAT bad.

True story, along the same lines. Back from 1990-92 I worked as a body shop manager in Highland Park Illinois. A lady piled up her brand new Lexus. Remember, these were the first ever Lexus's. She insisted in coming back threw the shop mid way threw the repair process to see that we were installing only "genuine" Lexus parts. I take her over to the car show her the car, the parts and the boxes. She LOOSES IT!!!!!!!! Starts screaming that we are a schlock shop, lied to her and she just KNEW we were gonna try to put crappy Japanese parts on her brand spanking new GERMAN Lexus. We literally tried over and over to explain to her it was an Asian car built by Toyota...she stormed out swearing and threatening to sue us. Latter that night her husband called to apologize.......true story.

About 20 years ago or so I run into a guy at a pinstripers place that was having "Hardly Davidson" striped on the tank of his Honda chopper.

Said he was going to Sturgis with it........

Might explain why I never seen him again..

Al...sure hope he was kidding

I have seen the Hardly Davidson on a lot of Metrics and find it hysterical.

I have yet to see HD badges on a metric. Or real pics taken by one of the many who claim it all the time. I am of the pics or it didn't happen camp when it comes to this. Maybe you dreamed it?

I've got a friend that put a Cadillac badge on the front of his Suzuki Samari, just for kicks. He drove it to work a lot, I had a guy at work ask me if I saw that new "style of Cadillac" out in the parking lot. The guy was dead serious, he actually thought it was a Cadillac.
