What do you use your Harley for?

[NordieBoy]

You don't go rally driving in 59 Caddy's and you shouldn't try touring four-up in a Mazda 121.

And you don't take a Citroen 2CV on the Dakar...

Be fun to try though. I can see one now all loaded up, spare wheels on the roof, gas cans strapped to its bum, onions everywhere, baguettes poking out the windows, yee har. Get Disney involved and do a re-hash of 'Herbie'......

Don't laugh, I have (somewhere) an old Popular Mechanics from the 50's when two guys went from the USA down through South America in a 2CV - roads were rough to non-existant but they got there.

...hahaha that reminded me of a story in one of my HOG Club mags about a middle-aged american couple that were riding their HD around the world. Can't remember the model...think it was an Ultra. Anyways some of the pics of them taking it through the Congo in Africa were incredible. They were not deterred by ANYthing... and we are talking bridges that were basically 2 telegraph poles roped together... At one point their drive belt broke and they stapled it together and continued riding.

Are you moonlighting as a Citroen salesman?

ah crap.....so I see HD's are even in NZ!!! I see them all the time here in the states. Everybody and thier brother has one over here. BORING!!!

They are well suited to the kind of big mile highway cruising you have to do to get anywhere at all here in the US but who would have thought they would have a following in such a small place as NZ.......pretty cool I suppose.

You know here in the states there are a few prerequisite's to HD ownership:

1. You must have a beer gut
2. You must be at least 38 years old
3. You must have served a minimum of 2 years prison time
4. You must have at least 4 tatoo's, one of them being an eagle.
5. Your girl, whom you cant have actually married, must have fake boobs, a fake tan, fake blonde hair, and at least one face lift operation
6. You must own at least two firearms, one of which should be a shotgun, sawed off and double barrelled of course.
7. Your other ride must be a truck, no toyota shite.....Ford F-350 "super duty" is the one. Either that or your Harley should be the only thing you got in the world besides your girl and a bunch of children you've left behind in your wake.
8. You must smoke....cigars.....and on occasion eat them.
9. You must be no more then 17 years older then your firstborn child and that firstborn must not be the natural child of your current woman whom you are not married to. Your firstborn should also be estranged and living somewhere in Oregon so you cant be bothered to find them.
10. You must have lived in Florida for no less then 15% of your current lifespan.
11. You should have no idea how to locate New Zealand or Australia on a map and you should not be aware that Africa is a continent rather then a country.
12. You should be a Republican but have no real idea why.......You should know that Bush is president but have no idea who the vice president is. Your sole reason for voting for Bush? You saw a picture of him ounce, looked it in the eye, and just KNEW you could trust the man.

Hmmm, not much of a Harley rider by the above criteria!

I AM older than 38 and can make something that looks like a beer-gut, got a gun or two (no sawn-off though) AND I own a 1955 F100 pick-up truck- is all that enough??

[buellbabe]

oh scummie YOU definately qualify!

Yeah, go shoot Dennis Hopper in the side of the head and grab a burger while you're at it.

Not pregnant are you?

Two questions:
1) Who are you?
2) Why don't you fuck off?

Delete (1), I don't care.

+1, show that yankey where he can go

Since the end of the second world war, I have been hearing about a creature called an "Ugly American"!

I have never personally come across one in all that time.

I think you just may have completed my education.

Harley Davidson motorcycles give a lot of people around the world, a lot of pleasure and satisfaction.

Not my first choice of bike but I think Harley Davidson has made a great contribution to world motorcycling and that "world", is my first choice! John.
