Default RE: So why do guys love HD?

Matthew, give it up. This is a Harley-Davidson forum so we gather to discuss Harleys. I, for one, do not bad mouth other makes and if you take the time to look around a bit there is no, or very little, brand X bashing on this forum compared to what I have seen on brand X forums.

I like my scoot because it is a Harley; I like my guitar because it is a Martin; I like my truck because it is a Toyota; ...etc., etc., etc.

Karnac the Great predicts that this forum will be locked or disappear shortly.

Now I'm actually starting to think you're trolling.

I try to always give the benefit of doubt. But - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Because we do.

Now give it a rest already. We don't need people coming here just to cause ****, thank you very much.

Clammy, I believe the first person to cause sh!+ was...Marcuda. It was a very civil and honest discussion about Harleys until the last seven posts.

For what it's worth, I own Harleys. And I'VE noticed that there are a lot of Harley guys who rag on metrics, and metric riders. True, not all of them do, but there are a lot. And trash talking people off the boards because they are curious, well...I can see where Harley riders can get a bad rap.

Sorry, Redlinger, looks like this one's on it's way to the scrapheap. Before it goes, I'll answer your questions: I ride a Harley simply because it was the most comfortable bike for me, and there are a lot of customizing options (I DO like the shiny!) Best Harley ever: the first Softail. It emphasised classic styling, while using revolutionary technology to make for a better ride. Technology is good, and the industry as a whole has a hard time remembering that at times (hear that, Honda?! Start offering fuel injection on your cruisers!!!)

Come on Redlinger drop it man.
I'm sure if I went on an import bike web site
and asked 'why do import guys hate any other bike
and the people who ride them'??
I would get the same answers you're getting right now.

P.S. Tuxman leave Clammy and Markcuda alone

Here we go again.

I'm locking it 'cause we're losing civility, and this smells like a troll post.
