I could add to this thread but being a fisherman I'd make a gaff of it

Bullshit, it's those minidicks on sportsbikes that don't wave, I'm always getting the snub from those dorks.

Waving, waving, happy happy joy joy......sportsbike coming the other way, rider head down, butt up, no wave.

Then I cry.

How can those clowns even see the road with their noses on the steering head, their rectum at the same angle as their oversized and inefficient muffler and their penis on the tail light?

I take solace in my vege' garden.

The reason they are better than us mere sportsbike/jap/british riders is possibly because the names are the most ridiculous collection of letters in the english language.
At least the Japs go for simple stuff like ZXR, CBR, GSX-R and a simple engine size designation as a suffix.

What about this:
Harley-Davidson-CVO-105th-Anniversary-FLHTCUSE3-Screamin-Eagle-Ultra-Classic-Electra-Glide...........freakin stupid name

Jeez, you gotta hope none of these japper riders ask you what your bike is.....by the time you've finished they would have fukked off into the distance on the back wheel

Hehe.
The truth of the matter is that once you know what the letters mean there's no confusion. I treat each letter like denoting another point of difference from the standard model of that range - so as you read through it builds a picture in your mind. Quite well done really.

F'rinstance, looking at your avatar it looks like the cams cover of an early 5-speed chain-drive XLH or similar.?

So your GSX-R1000 R5 is a shorter title than my FXDX and my XLH-S???

It's all fun and games, Harley types understand the 'alphabet-soup' labelling but others don't so it's probably frustration that makes 'em think it's all gobbledegook.

At last, an important fact learnt from this thread.

Must get the vege patch ready for planting!

Who wouldn't have a harley or two in the garage if they won the lottery? Or hire one for a month or two to tour the states? Not my ideal choice as a primary bike but wouldn't say no to one in the garage.

What pisses me off is when guys on here say they ride a FXR....
I instantly think 150cc of gutless power lol

Oh no, who am I, where am I..? My bike has no lettery things in front of it, its just called a Navigator. Its got a number plate though, does that count?
