Raced a Harley...

[Sniper]

Thats pretty good.

[Fishy]

Nice one!.

[Goblin]

You and me both.

Funny joke, no doubt about it but you fools laughing have obviously never seen a Harley being ridden properly.

I must be ghey too.

Yes it is a funny joke but it doesn't make you a fool to laugh at it.
BTW I have seen harley's ridden properly, over the Kaimais, the Buel & the Harley(V-Rod) left me for dead. Was no way in hell I was going to keep up. There were no chicken strips on their tyres either and the harley's rear tyre was almost melted.

[buellbabe]

Yeah funny... but to all you out there who slag HDs and have never even ridden 1... well does it need saying?
I know plenty of HD riders who can give a Sports bike a run for its money ANY day and that includes cornering, it just takes BALLS thats all.

[Goblin]

You're right BB... BIG BALLS.....and a small penis:spudbooge

[nudemetalz]

That was very clever I thought, but as Goblin says, well ridden, they're hard to keep up with.

[Rashika]

i must admit....I did have a wee giggle at it

sometimes ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself... i mean to say those japa riders must do it all the time

Since when does reading a joke and having a laugh = hassling a brand? The origin of most joke is basically a poke in the eye to the subject but the end result is you get a laugh - surely!

I've seen a harley being hussled - the guy who's there every year at the Nelson St races is seriously quick on his ol harley - but his laps times would still be a LOT lower on a modern sprotser.

Come on! I reckon that for everybody that thinks a Harley (and i SEPERATE Buell from Harley) could foot it with any sports japper i'd have to ask - what are the design goals of the two bikes? Harley don't make 'em in the mould of what wins on sunday sells on monday.

It'd be like saying a 916 tours just as well as a BMWK series or an STX. It just obviously ain't true when you consider the design goals of the bikes.

I mean shit, i'd like to see even WT beat me round ruapuna on a fatboy....

The only way a Harley would hold the back of a k5/r1/zx10/blade would be to have riders of different ability.

Horses for courses man....

WTF you on bout manu, you gone straight or something? A comprehendable clearly structured post is unheard of from you.

yep agreed... could have been any brand name really :spudbooge

yeah he was there this year too...OMG he does well! held off Diesel pig on the Husky for a LOT of laps

Come on! I reckon that for everybody that thinks a Harley (and i SEPERATE Buell from Harley)

:spudflip: just as well eh?

I mean shit, i'd like to see even WT beat me round ruapuna on a fatboy....

fk ...now THAT would be a sight to see!

[Motu]

I saw one being ridden properly the other day...well,it was a Buell actualy,but it wasn't in a ''Buell'' setting,and I was bloody impressed even if it couldn't keep up with my bike with 5 times the engine capacity.

I hate people who knock bikes....but that was a bloody funny and very well written story....there is a difference between poking fun and dislike,smacks of racism to me.

[Zed]

We witnessed a first last Friday at the Pukekohe Open Day, a guy riding his Harley amongst the sprotbikes...sure he was probably the slowest around the track but good on him for getting out there!!

Tell you what I'll do my good man, you hook me up with a 2000 or later FXDX with only genuine Harley bits fitted and a 1550cc kit. Maybe we could hire one, throw a thousand dollars on the table each (which the winner would donate to charity) and I'll take a one lap, standing start race at Ruapuna bet with ya. No practicing, no warm ups, one lap.

What say you pale face

Edit: And for the record, I know a joke and a bike slagging too. I just like to get in on the Harley Vs the world thing.

[SlashWylde]

Yeah I can see the joke and it is well written I just get tired of some sports bikers constantly bagging HD's and cruisers in general as being slow, and those who ride them as somehow being lesser bikers.

Motorcycling isn't all about speed, lean angle and getting to the end as fast as possible. For sure that stuff can be fun, but sometimes it's a greater joy to cruise along and enjoy the scenery offered by this beautiful country we live in.

One of my previous posts springs to mind:

"To draw an analogy, riding my VN is like a night of slow sensuous lovemaking with a voluptuous woman you’ve been with for some time. Riding the 636 is like one hot night of freaky raunchy sex with the slim tight sexy red-head you just met at the club."

I've had someone on a pushbike pass me coming down the hill from Orere Point to kawakawa bay. Gave me one hell of a fright. Was just cruising along minding my own business and he came round the outside of me just as I came out of a corner, tis weird being caught by something that makes no noise.
