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 think it was completely wrong to call him a dick. We all know he was a bitch..

Pics of the trail 70 would be nice also.

Dude sounds like a typical RUB punk to me. Thinks he has to talk down to others to be a Harley badass...

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.

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.
