A guy walks in a bar he has on a harley leather hat, harley leather jacket, harley boots, takes out his harley wallet and gets a beer. What a sap! Then talks about his harley. Just how gay are you HD riders its bad enough you paid good money to ride 90 year old technology! Then you had to take the mufflers off of it....So why the tough guy act? Is it because some guys are straight and dont like the reach around from a fellow hog rider.

well, there you go. Harley guys used to be THE BEST! but now, all these weekend ya-hoos think they've got something to prove...the guy with all his Harley-endorsed b.s. is just that, a load. Find any real Harley guy, he's about a million years old, ha a beard down to his Jonny, is the best gentleman you've ever met, and waves to everyone ele on a bike, the old school way...nothing to prove, just a way of life. (and most of them are not gay, just so you know)

I also have a Harley and a interest motorbike. extremely some the Harley riders that I journey with are 30-60 years previous. maximum of them are at a element of their existence that they do no longer might desire to bypass 180mph for relaxing. They get exhilaration from cruising at 50 and seeing the factors of interest. maximum of them have been using for some years too. additionally, Harleys are not affordable. the fee of the motorbike is barely the commencing up with a Harley. extremely some the adult adult males I journey with have sufficient caught into their motorbike to purchase 2-4 interest motorcycles, so as that they preserve them. the human beings I journey with that are on interest motorcycles are youthful in assessment (18-30). The motorcycles are appreciably extra inexpensive. the clarification those human beings bought a interest motorbike is to bypass quickly, it is strictly what they do. extremely some the sport motorbike riders I stumble upon have in basic terms been using some years at maximum. they are youthful, green, and out for a hurry. on an identical time because it is not honest to generalize one or the different (Like I stated - I journey the two) on trouble-free i think of you will locate what I defined above.

It's because they are pissed off that they spent oodles of money on a bike that has no power or performance.
It takes a special kind of person to knowingly spend upwards of $25,000 on a bike that has less technology in the year 2006 than a bike from overseas had in 1980...
Buell had the right idea, but they stuffed a great big heavy pig of an engine into a true american sports bike. If Harley really cared they would give up some money and create an engine worthy of the other superbikes of the world.

Everyone is different. Your labeling every HD rider. Thanks. Thats mature. Maybe you are a little insecure. Or maybe you ran into a jerk. Its not the bikes fault, or yours, or mine. And Im a HD rider and so is my husband. And I don't think its fair that you put us all in the same box. It would be a shame if we put all other riders in seperate boxes. What did you expect the rider to do when going into a bar? Sit in a corner and not drink? Of coarse he pulled out his dough and bought a beer. He talked about his bike. Woopie. So don't talk to him. Get over yourself.

I think you may be stereo typing that group. There is MANY different types of Harley Bikers from Christian to Gangs...depends on the class just like anything else...And some Like thier Harley's like some like football. I know what "type" you speak of and they are the people that are trying to fit in to the category of what most people presume as the Bad@zz attitude.
But it is not all of them ......I have met some foolish kids on sports bikes in thier klans do stupid stuff to.
But even though you have a small point it's a bit harsh don't you think?

It sounds like you have the attitude problem... Stop judging others based on what they ride or what they wear, where they go or what they drink. I've met jerks who ride everything from BMW's to Yamahas and I've met some incredibly nice guys and gals who ride Harleys would give you the shirt off their back and a bed for the night if you needed it - so lose the stereotypes. Nice people ride everything and not-so-nice people ride everything too.

Some Harley guy steal your girl? I'd be pissed, too, but you should probably take your grievance over to "Relationships and Dating" , or something.

With Harley riders, it's about an image and ego thing. With Japenese bikers, it's about being yourself, riding, and having fun. That's one of many reasons I ride Jap bikes.
