Russl179, "All two-wheeled rides are good, except for crotch rockets." That is same to me as saying "dick". I ride both a "crotch rocket"and a"lazy boy". '(01 Aprilia Mille R and '04 Road King.) There are stupid stuntingkids out there with sport bikes but there are also drunk dick heads out there with harleys. All 2-wheel riders should be treated similar unless they prove themselves otherwise.
I got the same crap from a local shop that does a lot of HD work. The guy has lots of used parts and I was looking for mirrors to complete my 1965 150 Honda Dream. The owner kept saying "I ain't got nothing for you in this store". I thought I would pick up some AIMS oil on the way out for my Harley. He told me the oil was too good for my ride. I walked out. When he saw me getting on my Harley he ran out with a Poker Run poster and wanted to be my new best friend. I let my pipes do my talking. I love Harleys but I'm not a bigot.
Yeah a lot of the H D riders think they're the elite crowd. Some of the Goldwingers are about the same too. Everybody on 2 wheels has their *** hanging out there taking the same chances, enjoying the freedom of riding. From a mini bike to a bagger, we're all in the same boat. My wife just got a 250 Rebel and she's as proud of that little bike as anyone you've ever seen. It's all good. Nice little Honda Crazycoop and a beautiful restoration job.
sorta off topic---thehonda trail 70 was chit when I was kid---a friend had a gold one---i would have became a honor student (maybe not) if my parents would have bought me one.
All two-wheeled rides are good, except for crotch rockets.
And why aren't sportbikes "crotch rockets" any good? You obviously speak out of ignorance. Now some of the sportbike riders suck, but there are a lot of sucky people sitting on Harleys too. (the reason for this post) If you are an a$$hole you're an a$$hole. The make or style of your bike means nothing.
