Have just been browzing through (for last two hours) and am amazed at how many people trashed certain bikes! Every one has a preference for certain things. I love Harleys, bourbon and Holdens, this wont stop me from hanging out with someone who likes Yamahas, beer and ford cars! Just as some prefer to ride at 160km every where others prefer to cruise at 120. SO WHAT!!!! Would be a pretty sad world if every body drank same liquid, rode same bikes and all rode at 80km. Every one is entitled to their personal preference and opinions. I PREFER Harleys as I like the way they handle and I feel one with my bike. BUT i also have a Suzuki that i enjoy as well. Im not staunch about my bikes at all. Im not an image person, dont give a shit what others think. I just enjoy my rides and being in company of people who arent image controlled. Sorry to bleat on but aftert two hours reading people rubbish others bikes my nerves were getting frayed. Each to their own I suppose. :scooter:

That's why they make different motorcycles - so you can ridicule other people who don't have the same model as you.Otherwise everyone would ride the same bike as I do.

Don't take it so seriously. It's only a bike. If you like what you're riding who gives a monkey's whatever other people think or say.
I'm not into the cruiser thing (sorry no real reason), but thankfully we're all different.
Besides none of us are that important that we can't take a bit of ribbing.

Yeah two wheels is two wheels regardless of manufacture… the only issue is the lack of comradeship most experience from the other rider, this is by all means not all and I have and continue to acknowledge all riders with varying results. Happy riding.

When they mutter away to each other when praked up, they may not diss the riders.

Tch. I suppose that's something else that'll have to be banned. I can't keep up with it all. Uppers, downers, now we've got pushies. And I suppose, there's pullies too. Or are the pushies also pullers. Sounds possible, doesn't it.
I hope you don't pedal your pushies to school kids. Or pull them, either. Though I have heard tales of some of the older girls pedalling their pushies at Hunter's Corner.

I know a few people on HD's and getting to know a few more from here ie Scumdog and his hog... I believe its what ever makes you happy, and puts that smile on your dial. I use to own a crusier bike (even tho it was a Japper) but now own a sports tourer... I got a different buzz on the cruiser than I do from my present ride, but I still got a buzz...

oooh, you're so hardcore!:zzzz:
But in actual fact you are so right, ONLY Harley Davidson's are cruisers, everything else only copies them. ONLY Harley Davidson's are motorbikes that ride nicely. ONLY Harley Davidson's look good with loads of cutom extras......no wait I'm just talking shit again! :shutup:

Back to the orginal post. I haven't found much slagging of bikes in this forum and on the kiwibiker events/rides I have been on that hasn't occurred. My experience is the opposite with most showing a genuine interest in the merits of other bikes. I would like to own a few different bikes, including a cruiser and an adventure bike. Different tools are required for different jobs.
When I thought about returning to motorcycling I joined this forum and posted some fairly inane questions to which I got a lot of really good answers that helped me in the decisions I was making. Sure there is some crap posted here but a lot is in jest.
Get out on a few rides to meet those who post here and your view may change. Don't be like me and take it too seriously :dodge:

Well, look at it this way.- How many of you didn't start out on a jap bike? Theres not too many who can say they haven't been on a jappa at some stage. If you want to do the right thing with getting your licence you need a jappa. Who cares what you ride as long as you are out there doing it.:whocares:

Met a nice chap at Sels who owns a HD sporter. He'd owned a GB400 a while back. Said he regretted selling it. So there's the odd HD rider out there with some sence:dodge:

It's interesting. I was looking at the bikes at the classic racing. Comparing the lean, small, classics, singles, Meridan Triumphs, BSAs Enfields, with the modern big , bulbous bloated designs. The old 'uns looked like greyhounds , compared with St Bernards.
But, the only modern bikes that had the lean lithe look of the old ones were the HD sportsters (the Buells are lean too, but in a different way, more like off roaders) .
Dunno what that implies. But maybe the nearest thing you could buy new to a GB500 would be a HD Sportster ?

Dunno what that implies. But maybe the nearest thing you could buy new to a GB500 would be a HD Sportster ?Aren't Sporters considered not the be REAL Harleys by some in the HD riding faternity? A girls bike?
May explain why Scumdog can't sell his...........
In my opion standard Sporster tanks are far to small for serious playing, whereas a GB500 has a 300 plus fuel range.
Sporties are a good base for customisation though I'd imagine.

Yeah good stuff mate, I would ride almost anything too (talking about bikes here son) I ride a Suzuki, but have an off road Honda, and thinking about an old Kawasaki bike for a project. I would also buy a Harley (but not an old one) if I could afford one, love the chrome. It's the rider not the bike.
I hope your not one those (too cool) Harley riders that wont give a wave to
a another biker cos (I dont know why) they just dont.
You know on that point all bikers need to stick together no matter what they ride, at the end of the day we all love the same thing, and there is already of enough (non bikers) out there that give bikers a hard time.
BIKERS STICK UP FOR ONE ANOTHER.I know most do already
But that doesnt mean you cant have a bit of light hearted rivalry, after you have to have a laugh aye.
