Yep, same ol Harley shit bashing threads keep appearing, I ride a motorcycle, its a Harley, I Like riding it thats all that matters to me

Fuck! the Suns out in Wellington maybe I'll go for a ride......

It went out the door with anonnimityness of the intarnet.

You can say I don't like these bikes because...(as I do)
and nobody should be offended - if you have valid reasons.
Thats where discussion and exchange of ideas stem from.
I've completely changed my attitude to scooters after riding a mile in their shoes.

Lots of new riders out there and in here. All deserve some respec.

I guess that's the parable of the tale - some just had to learn it the hard way.

And there is nothing wrong with takin the piss occasionally either aye! But I never have.

What we used to say was along the lines of "Nice bike. Doesn't do it for me cos of XXXX, but each to his own - or - but I do like the YYYYY ". Which makes the point without bagging. And may indeed develop into friendly discussion and exchange of ideas

I went to a biker bar once in in the Mid West while on a road trip. Some hard arse boys indeed. We sat up at the bar and I got talking to one of the fella's. Over his shoulder sat a chick that was smilling at me. I smiled back. His pupils dilated and in a deep voice said "You lookin at my wife?" I sqweaked back "No!" to which he replied, "WHY NOT?"

Sort of reminds me of the time I was waiting in line at Picton to make the crossing over to Wellington. On the steel band of my windscreen I have THE DRAKE etched in Nolder. This is an elven language. There was a small group of Harleys in the next just file ahead of me.One of the Harley guys asked what it said. When I told him it said The Drake he made the comment that I like riding blokes.................to which I replied "Sure do. If your're still 'goosin' at half my age count youself lucky. Don't think he had a clue what I was talking about, but by the laughter of his mates, they did.

I do try and keep the slagging to a bear minimum on here but occasionaly the 'oneliner' creeps into the grey matter...........and if a good one comes up just gota share with ya'll

I had to kill him with my shoe.

Your foot odour problem is really that bad?

'But Ozzie wouldn't go on stage unless there was a brandy balloon filled with brown M&M's on the piano.
Then Jeff Beck stuck his head round the corner and said 'I know where there's a confectioner's shop - so we went there, but it was closed - and guarded by a bengal Tiger - and then the owner turned up and wouldn't sell us the m&m's so we had to beat him to death with his own shoes.' - Wayne's Word II

Everytime I see the title of this thread I hear banjos!

I see bling. Was going to get some groceries and was into the roundabout when two Harley riders approached from the opposite side. Bikes looked cool no question...........but the riders: a husband and wife team?? Both were covered in bling Studded jackets and those beani type Clayton helmuts that say as much as much about the rider intellegence as it does about their fashion tasts. Got a better look at the ol' lady. She was tailing her old man. Bling, tassles etc but what caught my attention was the three or four chrome spikes in the helmut. What's with this look...............anyone seen this type of helmut No wonder they get so much slagging.

couldnt care less what someone rides....its the fact that alot of harley guys i see out on the rode are wearing crap gear...sport bike/cruiser i dont care what someone rides but every sport bike rider i ride with wears good rideing gear and it sure does help in the event of an off.lets face it a pair of leather look cool pants with no armour helps fuck all in an accident...either would spikes sticking out of a helmet i guess.

The same could be said for the sports bike riders with all the "right" gear that lane split @ 100kmh and weave in and out of the traffic. All the right gear won't help them then.
