I don't particularly like Harleys

[Ducman]

But I wanted a bike that that could do all the same things; cruise around town, short commutes on the motorway, look good parked outside the coffee shop. Of course I wanted something with similar power and handling, just a little more affordable. I finally found the perfect alternative, a Vespa.

[_STAIN_]

don't know that it will do the same chick magnet job tho

[Shadows]

Fuck you're a funny cunt.

[98tls]

Sweet,Monday night no work tommorow so having a Bourbon.Bring it on..........:jerry:Bit like old records these threads,albeit from the 70s.

[MadDuck]

Damn...Harley for sale. Here and now :lol:

[James Deuce]

The scroter forum is in Rant & Rave. Scroters aren't motorcycles.

[98tls]

Fwiw Ducatis are the new Harleys.Leather bags are a problem though as opposed to booze hags.

Excellent, You alternative sexuality people need something to ride as well.






Besides cock that is.:2thumbsup

Does wheelies too

[breakaway]

I don't like Harleys either, but a Vespa? Damn. Come on.

[The Stranger]

Ducman, owns a kawasaki, rides a vespa - he's confused, obviously not interested in chicks.

Ok, confession time. I saw a black Harley something - its the one with the ultra fat back wheel and the duck bill tail with the integrated led lights following the profile of the tyre. No idea what model but I though it looked pretty sweet - for a cruiser.

It pulled away from the lights when it saw me on my gs500e lone bike but I quickly caught it with a little rpm from the crap parallel twin engine :rockon:

I started thinking, mmm, that's pretty nice, maybe I would by one one day - but as soon as it went around a corner and I saw the foot pegs waaayy too far forward I came back to reality. :bash:

[EgliHonda]

Scroters aren't motorcycles.

I dunno, depends on your definition - automatic 50cc moped-types that can be ridden on the car licence are definitely weiner-mobiles, but then there are what I consider to be 'proper' scooters (must be manual gear change, and two stroke of decent capacity)...

I have a bit of respect for those that turn up at rallys on a scoot. Kudos for dealing with the wobbly little wheels, top heaviness and idiosyncratic handling that comes from having the engine on the side of the bike... Add a bit of blue smoke and the sound of a stone being shaken inside a can, and I can't help grinning at the fun they seem to have...

[James Deuce]

Don't bite.

Anything slower than the gs500 is a scooter :argue:

So Harleys ARE scooters... :innocent:

[BMWST?]

big adv bikes are the new cruisers.....comfy,good ground clearance,presence....:yes:

[javawocky]

...and therefore, we don't wave at them and they don't wave at us.

I know probably posted many times but,

I'm not allowed one because I've been circumsized, and you've gotta be a complete dick to own one.

[Griffin]

So half cocks like yourself cant own a decent bike then... bummer.

As to the OP... have fun on your vespa... its prob as much power as you should be allowed to control.

I can see the future of this thread being available only in black.

[Juzz976]

I can own a decent bike, actually I already do.
I could also own a harley aswell but I'd find breaking my habits of being curteous, respectful and waving to other bikers a bit too hard to break.

[Big Dave]

I have a '10 Electra Gide Ultra (in Blue) test bike.

Excellent motorcycle. Possibly the smoothest V-twin engine I've ever ridden. Very tidy handling, good brakes and quite zippy for the size of the unit - and all the luxury and comfort stuff is first rate. The Harmon-Karden stereo rocks.
I'd rate it an very good touring and cruising bike. One of my all time favourites in fact.

The only place the Vespa would see it is lane splitting.

[Swoop]

So, do your "tattered" leathers have tassles now???:wari:

[Big Dave]

I dress the same now as I did in 1976. :-)

[James Deuce]

You're damn lucky the 70s are cool again.

[avgas]

Thats cos your a mod not a rocker.
We's don't like ur kind round here - get ur ass back to the pussy scooter thread.

[cave weta]

Vespas pull the ladies like i troll daily

Troll, yawn, so un-original too.

Enjoy your Vespa.

Pointless thread meant to bait Harley owners. If you don't like Harleys, well, who gives a shit?

If you're into bikes, <i>really </i>into bikes, your 'lottery winner' garage would almost certainly contain a Harley. Mine would, and a Ducati, a few Guzzi, a cool retro-style Italian scooter, some dirt bikes, etc. etc. etc. But then, I'm genuinely into bikes.

[Ducman]

Guess I the dig was unnecessary, but my point is scooters are a heap of fun around town and on the motorway (the bigger ones anyway). They are the way to go if all the riding you do is around the suburbs. NZ is one of the few countries that motorcyclist's tend to look down on scooters with a "not macho enough for a real bloke" attitude. Any pic's you see of Rossi about town he's riding a scooter. I love motorcycles and to be fair a lotto winning purchase would include a pre '47 Harley. When it comes to the right tool for the job, a scooter wins hands down for city commuting, (which seems to be the sole haunt of a lot of Harley's) my ZX10r for the Coro loop.

Not you, the OP.

[FJRider]

Get a decent paying job ... and you'll be able to afford decent clothes ... :innocent:

Actually, yes the ladies love Vespa's. Like having a puppy on a lead or carrying a baby...

My clothes from then wore out years ago...

[Big Dave]

They aren't the same garments - just the same style - sheesh! :done:

Scooters are like fat girls. Lots of fun but you wouldn't want your mates to see you riding one.

[Headbanger]

I'd rather be seen on a fat girl.....
