    So why are you buying are harley ? Have you always been up yourself ? Or just felt you need to be, or is this your "comming out" statement

    So the obvious question is- "Which model are you getting?"
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    Very untrue.....
    In todays context, the average Harley owner is between the age of 35 and 50, so more than likely they are old enough and ugly enough NOT to put up with any shit......which others depict them as being up themselves.
    You'll also find that most of these have been riding for 10+ years and don't tolerate as much as the younger riders do.
    Then there are those who just have to much money and only buy a Harley to be "cool"........these guys dont last long so arn't really an issue.
    Who gives a ---- what others think or say, so long as your happy.

    The three Harley riders i know aint up them selves, and its all been covered and done to death before on here, what i will say tho' is, a local pub around here is the Puhoi, its a biker pub, any amount/types of bikes turn up every weekend, but when the Harley riders leave, they make a big thing of it, the start up/ the leaving at speed (as only a Harley could) and then you hear them button off when they hit 3rd, as long as you dont become 'better than any other biker' then....fill ya boots

    Apparently anyone that rides American, British or Italian bikes are arseholes.

    Hi, I'm an arsehole.

    I couldn't get out of 2nd gear leaving the Puhoi pub. It's a town FFS with a 50kph limit - I might hoon a bit in the countryside but I keep it legal in towns.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    well we all know what you lot say about Honda riders... tho the other have will disagreee...

    Each to there own. Its the rider that makes the bike and the bike that makes the rider. But its how you treat and respect others that makes the mind up of on lookers.

    now IF I was ever to get a TRUE harley (as Harley diehards dont seem to think Buells are Harleys... believe me there is just as much conflict within Harley circles about ture Harleys as the Jap vs Harley debate), it would be one of these
    Lovely!
