I have no problem with Harley's in fact I owned one back in the seventies. But it spent more time in the workshop than what it did in my shed. In a word it was a "dog" and nearly sent me bankrupt. But it's not the brand that gets up my nose it's "some" of the dorks that own them. Hey let's face up to it it's just an EGO thing.
You enjoy your HD a lot of members on this forum have gone through the stage your at now. But a couple of years down the track you will be riding a different bike. So you have that to look forward to. Also what gives me the shits, and a lot of fellow bikers is the blatant use of drag pipes. Now how dumb is fitting those ear shattering things on their bikes. What do you think that has caused the clampdown on noisy bikes. Your mob has to take a lot of the blame for it. And I hope your not one of those Wally's.
Also I hope that you are not one of the rednecks that refuse to give a fellow biker a wave, or a nod of the head. Because if you are, you have many more bikers out there that hate and despise the rednecks riding those chromed compressors. Well that ought to do for starters.
And finally what date do you do the Manfield thing? I've gotta see that!!!!!
they will be able to plant spuds in the track when you dudes are finished ploughing it up with your foot pegs.
And finally my user name is here to stay so get use to looking at it.![]()
Now I understand....maybe you have some difficulty reading!!!!! Have a look at your thread on loud/drag pipes..you will see I dont have them, have a read at my signature and have a read at any of the thousands of wave threads and you will see my position on that....and please dont tell me that its only some Harley riders that don't wave??? Do all Triumph riders wave? Do all sportsbike riders wave? Get a reality check....I have ridden for 30 years and have never stopped waving to anyone on a bike but it seems this is not the case with everyone..thats cool..wave if you want, dont if you dont who cares??? There was never a rule you had to back 30 years ago either..it seems that some like to think of the good old days when everyone did but.well...reality again......
It is clear now..you had an old Harley that was a piece of junk hence the bitterness..I understand that. I owned an old Ducati and it was the biggest most unreliable piece of shit I owned but I had two others that were great....but I still enjoy seeing a good Ducati go past.
But I respect everyone's right to their dislikes and their opinions...I just dont have to agree with them. I dont get why you need to be so confrontational all the time and try to score points off people (example with the crack against NightHawkNZ)...maybe its your way..if it is then (to use your words again) you poor thing you.
Ride what you like, enjoy what you ride...that's the most important thing isnt it?
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

I'm sure if Suzuki or Yamaha or whoever got it tgoether like H.O.G. do and organised something like that people would go, but there is no such organisation for Jap cruisers, because most of the Jap cruisders are relaxed, nice folk, who don't feel it necessary to run down other makes of bikes.......

Fucking hell dude, you sound like a fucking old age pensioner who is pissed off at the yankees because they claimed to have won the 2nd fucking world war!!! Take a chill pill, drink a beer and relax, you seem far too worked up! If people don't wave at you please don't get angry, they might know you from this website and hence not want to wave at you, or they simply see you too late and dont have time to wave back, or they are busy concentrating on riding their bike WITH TWO FUCKING HANDS AND CAN'T WAVE BACK! Shit, now I gotta take a chill pill.....

And in the 70's Triumphs were the same - and in the late 80's when I wanted to buy a 'traditional' bike like a Harley or Triumph and asked for recommendations the Truimph owners (true) said go for a Harley as (in thier words) "Lucas, Prince of Darkness, will let you down somewhere, sometime and just when you don't need it"
I would still enjoy a classic Bonnie - and one day may well do so.

Wooo Hoooo keep em coming I'm loving it. I haven't had so much of a laugh since my granny caught her tits in the mangle.
And No one told me when the Hoglies are going to invade Manfield. I can't miss that!!
As I have said before I have got nothing against the HD's it's just the culture within, and of most of the plonkers that ride them.
OK let it rip. I'm prepared for a bit of incoming. Over and out. Cheers all I hope you are getting a good laugh at this lot.......Huck
actually the Pukekoe track part of last years rally was flippin awesum... my partner was very jealous as we have only ever raced on Ruapuna and Levels, so it was fun having a bit of a play on another track, esp on the Buell. Kinda cool carving up the other bikes...tho some of em were a bit worrying trying to pass but I guess you get that with non-racers on the track. Woulda been cool to try it at Manfeild... you'll just have to tell me about it Buellbabe!
As for the culture, unless you have been in it you wouldn't understand... there are as many tosspot non HDers and there are tosspot HDers... brand of bike makes no diff there. But from my point of view there are some bloody awesum people who go to these rallys and it is often the only time I get to see them. So I'm gonna miss ya guys![]()

No, no , no Rash - this is not the way to promote blinkered ignorance and jealousy.
You must henceforth jump to conclusions about all folks from their brand of motorcycle.
You must also assume that they only have one bike.
