Default RE: does it matter

Howdy. When I was growing up all that I wanted was a Harley. Mom and dad couldn't afford one so all that I could do was watch and listen. I'm now 54 years old and I still want a Harley. I am getting closer all the time and eventually I will get one. I understand why some people may not want to put out the extra to get a Harley. Personally, I have nothing against the Jap bikes, I just don't want one. I just don't want to sound rude, but I found this forum about Harleys because that is what I wanted to talk about. If I wanted to talk about Jap bikes, I would have gone somewhere else. Again, NO OFFENSE, this is a Harley forum and that's the way that it should stay.

I guess to me it really doesn't matter, hell, I even rode a rebel and it was a fun bike, for me it is all about getting into the wind, As Harley steps up their production to full fill the demand, what is it going to do to the older bikes we own? As new riders get on the road and have more accidents, the insurance will surely rise, (another knife in the side)!!!!!!![:@] Have a good day!

Buett, it obviously matters to you so if you're going to try and bait these guys into a HD vs. Honda argument, go back to the VTXOA.

Thank You.

Hats off to you! They should feel that way, just like the product that they spent too much money on....very inferior!!!!

This was in regards to the Vtalk thread that was closed earlier.

I apologize to this site for even having to post that here but while I own and am proud of both my HD and VTX, some guys get a kick out of being jerkoffs from the safety of their keyboard. It just isn't right. I wanted to make sure he was shown as what he is. An *******.

ORIGINAL: buett

does it matter what you ride? Or that you ride?
Seems you mighta hit a nerve, especially after someone pointed out some comments attributed to you on another board. Trolling ain't something an adult oughtta be doin'.

Does it matter what you ride? Don't matter to me one whit what you ride. Matters to me what I ride, and that'll always be HD. I don't care what anyone else thinks about my bike, and it don't matter what I think about anybody else's chrome-laden garbage barge.

Doesn't matter whether you ride, either. Some folks do, some folks don't, some folks wish. Who cares?

Matters to me that you drop in here, apparently trying to stir things up. Why? To what purpose? If you really want to know then put it all on the line so we know where you're coming from. You got a gripe with HD, say it and back it up with facts, or just admit it is an opinion. You got a right to an opinion, but sometimes opinions are better left unsaid, or at least said in the right places.
