ode to harley

[wari]

Not the opinion of wari ...

butt funny none the less ...



Harley, Harley, made of chrome,
Drive them out, then push them home.
Take them out and cruise for chicks,
The men who drive them have tiny dicks.
Farm equipment in disguise,
Sold by salesmen telling lies.
"Want to look tough, be a stud?
Then buy a Harley piece of crud.
Take them out and cruise the roads,
Packin' broads that look like toads,
Leaking oil on all our streets,
Hassling all the folks he meets,
The Harley man is macho king,
Chains and leather, that sort of thing.
So, drink your beer and shoot your dope,
Would I own a Harley?




















NOPE.

[Jackrat]

Some will laugh,Some won't.
I think I'll just smile an carry on trying to get my XS to go as well as my last HD did,Which is nowhere near as well as my Duke did.
I haven't owned a BMW yet. :whistle: :laugh:

lol, oh dear, some people(the poem writer, Not WARI) have far too much spare time on their hands. at least it rhymes i guess.

[Coldkiwi]

thats quite funny :) good rhyming!

[Antallica]

That's good stuff I reckon :D

[Shawn]

haha...funny....but HD does look cool...i guess it kinda comes with the age too...a different style...hey no offence to any of those super sensitive ppl..

[Hitcher]

One too many syllables in the fourth line. Using "wee" instead of "tiny" would fix this though...

"My heart aches and a weary numbness pains my sense
As though of hemlock I had drunk..."

[Timber020]

Great piece of poetry, but they didnt mention

The engine the size of an average car
With All the power of a vespa
Twice the money, half the go
The bike of choice for those so slow
Be a rebel, be James dean
Spend a day just keeping it clean
Looks so pretty, sounds so fine
It does not matter your 30 years behind
Harley man the midlife crisis brat
Welcome to middle age, want a harley with that? :msn-wink:

Did once upon a Harley ride,
With pipes of chrome and bits of leather,
Then didst I ride upon Suzuki,
Bandit, big, and good lookie,
Harley rides I then did never,
Thought that rockets made of rice,
Was more the fast and twice as nice.
'tis to wonder if the Hog stuff ever,
Justifies the Harley price.
:crazy:

This "anti" Harley stuff intrigues me, are all Harleys that bad and all other makes that GOOD? and likewise the riders of said bikes?

Also if you own one off the Jap cruiser type bikes (sometimes referred to cruelly as Hardly Harleys etc) you will find their accessories and "enhancements" not a whole lot cheaper than H-D.
I sued to believe that H-D parts were miles more expensive than other brands but then I read those Aussie mags with road tests that listed the price of common needed parts like tail-lights, speedo, clutch, etc and they were more or less equal - some H-D bits cost more and some other brand bits cost more.

The word "sued" should have been "use to" - my typo :mellow:

[What?]

Dunno - it sounded more American as it was. :killingme

Have to fess up, I have never ridden a Harley! I was just havin a bit of fun with the poetry. All power to bikies of all persuasions.

This "anti" Harley stuff intrigues me, are all Harleys that bad and all other makes that GOOD?Probably not, but I get Fucken tried of HD owners trying to get me in to HD's:Pokey: Or suggesting that my jap would start the fire well:argh: . My bike is as good as a HD (if not better). I happily ride with HD's, but were do they get off think that their HD's are Better?:finger:

I had the use of an 1100 BMW when I was in N.Z.,ended up loving it but didn`t feel the need to act like an arsehole and ignore other bikers as BM riders tend to do,dont blame the bike,blame the riders.

[Lou Girardin]

Start by thinking of Harleys as a religion, then their attitudes become clearer.

I own a Harley, (and a Suzuki and I've had a Honda) I don't think it's "better", I have it because that's what I want and no amount of anti-Harley/pro-anything else will get me to change until I make up my mind I WANT to try another bike. And I wave to who I want to(almost every other biker) and d'you know what? it's rare I don't get a wave back!

Maybe the H-D owner you have met have just had a gutsful of the "tractor" type needling and haven't the nouse to treat it like the verbal daihorea (sp?) that it is.

Some of you guys must just keep bumping into the wrong types as my riding mates ride just about every breed there is and we do it without feeling so insecure in our choice of scoot that we have to slag off at the others :2thumbsup

I found the same thing as far as parts price's went with both my HDs.
Stock parts were no more exspensive than stock parts on other brands Iv'e owned.After market on the other hand were real exspensive.
As far as bad atitudes go,People with em' are missing out on stuff,,Bugger that, I want it all,it's all good.
The anti HD,anti Jap thing is a waste of my time.

I have heard numerous "jap crap" comments from a few harley riders, they shut up when the mikuni carbs, showa forks, on their "100% U S of A" bikes were mentioned

[Motu]

Parts prices just reflect demand - the more they make the cheaper they are,Harleys have had a long production run with good interchangabilty,Jap bikes change models several times a year,so often their parts prices are high.

What's all this anti Harley anti Jap shit - what about that Italian crap...I think red Vtwins with loud pipes suck and anyone who would ride crap like that should have a sanity test!

[pete376403]

Now don't you go slagging my Elbonian Zorch Mk IV or you'll really be asking for it!

[merv]

If its got two wheels its cool with me.

[RiderInBlack]

SD, there only a few wanker with bad attiutes out there (some on HD's, some on Japper's, some on Beemers), but they sure get tirering.

I ride mixed a lot. Have been to quite a few poker runs. Just wish people would cut the crap and enjoy the rides:ride: .

PS: have noticed that a few of the HD's wave or nod. Shit, there are sometime I don't as I am tired or busy concentrating on the road. So thanks for the wave mate:wavey: As for those who don't, thats their problem. I don't make it mine by getting upset about it.

[magnum]

good poem,funny.overpriced and slow but i suppose different strokes for different folks.
