The writer of the article was a liberal!Therefore what do you expect?The usual
misinformation or just plain ignorance and superficiality.

Every time i read a post from you. you mention a job that you worked there. I believe you are bitter because you can't hold a job, and these well educated people are dissing your value???? Yep , I am going to work now, same job for 20 years, so I can pay 4 times in tax than what you make a year, so you can live outside the box. My father was killed when I was 3 years old, he served my country so you bikers could live the lifestyle. ride on, but let the people that revived hd be. Signed , happy to be a poser NOT a biker.

You and I had put this **** to rest between us I had though and for the record my last job of 20 years quit me and 4800 other people because the " Successful " bunch you claim to belong to wanted higher stock returns and basicly run the company out of the country . Before that I had a lot of jobs through the 70's & 80's , as many as 3 in one year , some of us have seen the economy take a **** before you do what you have to when you have a child to raise . It's also called life experience which your showing you have damn little of .

Bitter not by a long f*cking shot kid I'm happy as puppy with 2 peckers , I'm semi retired under 60 , have more hair on my head than you do , all my teeth are my own and that,s saying something considering some of roads I've traveled in life and skill has big time been involved there . I still bench 175lbs and have a woman who makes bank money with an MBA in International Businesss Admin. and I'm bitter ?

My day is whatever ever I want it to be . I have a very well set up & tooled shop at home and do a decent business working on these old decrepit oil leakers you so gayly to like to put down .

I don't want a new bike I never have I can drop cash tomorrow for anyone I care to but I enjoy building mine the way I want it to be and unless you've dropped another 6 grand on a MOCO kit my 38 yr old bike will out run & out handle yours . I walk up to the local " biker "bar during a run and see on the average at least a 1/2 dozen of those squeaky new leather guys standing out front with that lost look because there,s 20+ bikes that look alike and they have no clue which is theirs .

My condolences on your dad and I do mean that heart felt wouldn't wish it on anyone , but I've lost family and friends in 4 wars now what makes your grief so high and mighty over anyone else's ?

And for the books most hard core old school boys I've known not to mention most real people I know today are vets so you are pissing on a VERY large group of people with that " My Daddy Died " crack and some of them may take objection just a tip bud .

Just a bit of advice , lose the " It's all about ME " attitude or the bike , those two make lousy bedfellows and it always ends bad .


Had to Edit ;

I've 2 nephews with 5 combined tours in the sand box's who both ride and they just read some of your stuff . They both would like a word with you about how their sacrifice has enabled your narrow privileged *** to talk **** publicly without ever doing the walk yourself . Personally I'm hoping you guys never meet , I don't want to be bailing them out for something this stupid . These kids grew up in a combat zone in downtown Baltimore MD , they were hard before Uncle Sam turned them loose to go play .

You really have no clue what the world is like outside your some what closed slice of it do you ? You might be an ok guy face to face but I don't hold much hope there . I'm going to suggest don't poke sticks at things you know nothing about , you could get a good look down the rabbit hole Alice .

You dumb piece of sh-t, don't want your advice, my comment about my father has nothing to do with bikers other than the point that he fought for this country so losers like you could smoke your weed, ride your bikes and take advantage of whomever. Your freedom to express your opinion was paid for by real men like him, not bikers. You are the latter, perhaps, but that is no compliment, i can assure you. As far as life experiences, I've worked since I was 15 yo. Was raised by a widow mother who went to work to put food on our table plus social security. It took me 10 years to pay back my student loans. I didn't have a silver spoon up my ***. I earned everything I got. So the "its all about me " quote is as ignorant as you. You know something about everything, don't you? Oh by the way, its called capitalism. Send me another cowardly private e-mail with idol threats about how bad you are. Everyone'a tough behind a keyboard. get a life. Registered yet. wonder if your sugar mom knows about that? Thank your nephews for their service. I really do mean that. You didn't serve, neither did I. My father did. Your free for all lifestyle while he protected your freedoms is the issue bud(I believe you called it living outside the box to another veteran earlier). And for the record, could you please use commas and or periods so I can understand your posts please? Not sure where or what your trying to say most of the time. Back to my point, bikers are not special. I am a poser, no problem. Please don't threaten me behind your keyboard, you really have no idea who I really am. I may be as crazy as you are in reality. There may be a hollow point reserved just for you. You never know? registered. I have never seen anyone with a mba living in a neighborhood as nice as the one your bike is pictured in. nice, real nice. Bet your eyes are brown, cause you're full of sh=t up to them. ride in peace, peace out=quit ridiculing posers, we know you're the real deal. You keep telling us

You need a period (it's the dot on the lower right of your keyboard) after "issues" above. Also need a period after "another" Have a nice life. Thank a veteran! They made it possible for you to spew.

It would seem age has no effect on how easy it is to push another's button. I'm going to re-watch Grumpy Old Men.

man some people take this **** too seriously. some real BS things said on both sides, lay this one to rest already. it was just an article where i thought the writer was really cherry picking to put HD in a bad light. but in reality when you're selling $20,000 motorcycles the fact that you don't have the female or 18 year old market but absolutely dominate the middle aged white male market is a pretty good spot to be. those dudes ain't riding rice rockets forever.
