    Backed the Harley into the kerb. A chick came out of the pub, walked passed all the jappas...... "nice harley"

    Harleys are like V8s... they don't need to handle or go fast...

    I doesnt matter how fast yer subaru is... it'll never be a V8....
    Slow, poor brakes (allegedly) ill-handling (allegedly) noisy (allegedly) but sheeit, ya just can't beat them eh?

    EVERYBODY knows a Harley, - "ride a Suzuki?" ain't goin' to cut it at a party.

    But ride a Harley and they ALL notice.

    So you'll be buying one as soon as you can?

    Hot tip: a fuming '81 Sportster beats a 'busa anytime when it comes to hauling the chicks.

    Get chicks, look pretty. Convertible voltswagens have the same effect.

    I have to say it, the chain drive sporties are amongst the cooler cruisers about the place. Becoming valuable stateside to.

    Had a '81 iron-head Sporty, top bike and had 'real' character and style, one of the bikes I really regret selling, it was a real cool scoot, stood out when I turned up at a rally.

    Too right Motu, my Sportys went off-road many times in search of that private camping spot on the shores of a lake, clearing in the bush etc... Sportys are the trail bike of the modern HD range and they have got plenty of herb too. Back in those days I used to ride Auckland to New Plymouth regularly on an 883 and then later on a 1200, sometimes my riding companion was a Ducati and the Sporty kept up no worries!

    I used to hate Harley's. The fat, hairy biker with the slutty, butt ugly mole on the back did nothing to enhance my view. (Okay - this is a generalisation, more to do with the gang type of HD rider)

    Then I grew up a bit and learn't what 'tolerance' was all about.

    There isn't enough tolerance in the world these days....it's all about me me me.

    sounds like image means everything to some people ,just ride your bikes and sod what anybody else thinks isn't that what its all supposed to be about,not whether when you pull up to a pub and a chick walks past all the other bikes and dribbles all over you if thats what you ride bikes for then thats fine,just don,t make us vomit in the process,my 2 cents and rant over
