WTF are you smoking? I see plenty of 30, 40 and even 50 year old HD's running around.....can't say that about any Jap or Euro scoot. As far as the non-HD riders being able to speak to you....although I have owned plenty of HD's I have also owned some others and if I would of talked to you, and you didn't talk back you may have gotten a beat down just for being an assh*le. Have a nice day and go f*ck yourself.

All in good fun guys and gals.... Happy to see I raised some eye brows... It's Saturday, have a beer and relax, bring your blood pressure down a notch or two. Just trying to make good conversation and see where everyones head is at. Sorry if I offended anyone...(see that vein popping out of your forehead, better get it checked)

Paying 25,000 for a motorcycle dosn't entitle you to anything. Harley or not. I'll ride with anyone who wants to ride with me. If they are good people, i could care less what they ride. Some people can't afford a new Harley or even a used one for that matter. As long as their in the wind enjoying themselves and the company of other bikers, that is what it's all about. Who care's what your on. You Frankie, Are the wannabe poser.

I didn't buy a Harley to hang out with honda, suzuki, yamaha, kawasaki riders... I spent the extra dollars to hang out/belong with an elite group of people who know what a Harley is... A MOTORCYCLE/FREEDOM/CLASS/LIFE STYLE... If you riders who hang out here on the Harley forum but ride a jap scrap think you have a right to talk to us, guess again.... You're nothing more than wannabees, get a life.
I try hard to avoid commenting on threads that deal with opinions but I can't let this one pass.....I bought mt first Harley 38 years ago because I liked the way it looked - not to hang out with anyone or to live the Harley "lifestyle" whatever the heck that is. You can hang out with whomever you want to but you'll never hang out with me because I don't hang out with wannabees who believe owning a particular brand of bike defines them as a person. My Harleys are not an extension of my ego or my ***** as it appears to be for you. Sorry, just my opinion....

You are quite obviously a classless, narcissistic person with feelings of inferiority and completely devoid of social skills. Whether you actually own a Harley or not is irrelevant. Anybody who would take the time to post such drivel on a public forum obviously has a meaningless and unfulfilling life; otherwise you wouldn't waste the time.

If you think buying a Harley makes you likeable, makes you fit in, or to use your term "belong to an elite group of people" your perspective on the world warped. Perhaps you should have spent the money on counseling instead.

This is the first post of yours that I’ve read, but judging from what I’ve seen the only wannabee here is, YOU.
