So I take the wife out to eat Sat. night to a local place called the Winking Lizard. Great food and about a thousand different beers to choose from. We go in and the first thing I see is three guys sitting at a table in the bar yackin up a storm, wearing H-D t shirts, H-D jeans and boots. They looked like they just snuk off from their desk jobs and changed cloths after work to go out with out telling their wives. I'm sure you know the type. Know I've been riding for over 30 yrs. I still ride a Shovel and am damn proud of it. But these posers and wanna b's really give me a kick, can you imagine these guys trying to fix their own bikes or even changing the oil??!! It's so easy to pick on em. But then I thought about it, I was a wanna b once, When I was ten!!!!

I think you have a small complex with your image. I think Punisher has a purse you can borrow.

OK lets see, The winking lizard is in Ohio, so you can fill out your profile now, cats out of the bag. You say it was a Saturday. You recogonize The HD Clothing. You Know these guys were working on a Saturday. 30 years riding plus 10 when you stated means you are 40ish. You are easily intertained by guys out without their wives. You ride a Shovel, but did you ride it to the Winking Lizard with the wife? We know you don't know much about oil changing either, you said you have a Shovel, you only have to top off.

Thats whereI saw that sign.........Bedford Heights(Off the miles road exit), just south of the "mistake by the lake".
Passed that place many times headin into Safeway Foods. It sits right up the street from the Coca-cola bottler.
And there were alot of Harley riders that worked in that Safeway warehouse and the Olympia Steel Plant, would BS with them while my truck would get unloaded.
Even checked out thier scooters that were always parked by the gaurd shack. Some nice bikes.
Wonder if the guys you saw were some of them ole boys?
Callin them wanna-be's would of been somethinI would of liked seeing you try.

WTF?? Wow.....
I love my harley stuff. Hell my wife loves hers. Every town I go to (whether riding or not) that has a Harley shop, I stop and buy a T-Shirt. I wear Harley jeans, boots, jackets, shirts, etc, etc. The great thing about Harley stuff - it comes in a man's size. I don't have to stuff my fat a$$ into something that doesn't fit me right.
Now for you -
So from your way of thinking, you use a computer, I use a computer, I have 4 computers, 1 Mac, and 1 UNIX server hooked up to a network (wired/wireless) in my house, that I set up and maintain in addition to my day job as - you guessed it, Network Engineer. I have two Network Certifications. I am smarter than you when it comes to using computers. You shouldn't use a computer because you are not computer/network smart like me. Now turn it off and go away.
Geez.

**** , I think i'm a wannabe. I haveridden dirt bikes and 4-wheelers most of my life, mostly cause there is no speed limit off road.I used to rodeo when I was younger. Use to breaKhorses too. Wanted a harley my whole life. I usually maintain it my self but sometimes I take it to the shop. I have a decent job and can afford to pay a shop to do the upgrade. Owned a lot of metric dirt eaters, But never owned a street bike that wasn't a harley-I was a wannabe then, and I still want-to-be.
