What, exactly, is wrong with Harleys?

**Coyote** · 28th January 2008, 07:58

Reading the thread 'Shocking Behaviour' got me wondering.

What's wrong with them? As cruisers they seem alright to me. Cruisers aren't meant to be the fastest or go around corners at blinding speed, so for what they're designed to do they're good aren't they?

And for that matter, what makes Honda riders gay and makes other's assume Suzuki riders have big balls? I've had both brands of bike and I haven't noticed my balls getting any smaller or my sexual preference changing. If someone's already gay and rides a Honda, does that make them straight?

Is it all just people talking mindless drivel cause they're all idiots led on by brand appeal, or is there something I'm missing?

You got it in one right there...

You either have a Harley, or a Big Johnson, but seldom does anyone have both.

Lance Armstrong reckons it's not about the bike. He wasn't writing about Harleys when he coined that line, but he could have been.

No, it makes them even gayer(tm).

Nothing.

The weiners that sprout ignorant drivel without ever sitting on one.

Thats 'Gheyer', the extension of 'Ghey'. May Hitcher have mercy upon your wretched person.

That's why I put the (tm) at the end.

Nothing - some of them are a work of art, they're cool - but you buy a bike that suits what kind of riding you do.
Unfortunately there are a lot of dick heads that buy a Harley to try and impress people.
I find it interesting that people I know have bought a Harley and changed their whole image to suit!!! What’s that about?
If some one over 40 buys a Harley, then according to others they’re having a mid life crisis, but if you’re over 40 and buy a sport bike – you’re a lunatic?? It’s all about perception.

Yes but the fact you keep changing means you could be both gay and have big balls - or neither!
Suzuki riders have big balls because they bang them against the tank all the time they get swollen

It's called KB dude

But seriously - I think most people get attached to what ever bike they ride and it's all friendly banter, a bit like Ausy and NZ rivalry

mmm, It's some times hard to decipher from the written word if someones taking the piss,no intonation,no facial expresion.Taking the piss out of stuff is a mighty fine pass time but you'd have to be a sick twisted biggot to judge the man by the bike he rides.

There is nothing wrong with Harleys,jap cruisers sports bikes, dirt bikes or any other scoot. Stop picking on each other and unite against the real enemy.................MAGNETO.
