Those of us who've been around here know the history of HB's Freeper name. It has nothing to do with bikes....
BTW, if you're Razzle,
is your bike named Dazzle?

Dude! Think of the people who never tried anything fun, and died eating bagged spinach. I would much rather die at 130 mph wrapped around a telephone pole than crapping my brains out on the pot with E. Coli.
A former neighbor of mine was a super-health conscious dude, ate swdust and veggies, worked out daily, andwoudl never have a beer because it was too unhealthy. Well, one day, while I was having a beer with a bunch of neighbors, this guy got killed by a bus. He left behind a great little 8-year old son and a pretty wife. I'm still alive. Thank God I wasn't out jogging with him, I'd be dead too.

Any wonder the company make more of licensing pocketbooks and womens leather undies, etc. than producing motorcycles?

Thats all that matters. I have seen people walking around these bike rallies with head to toe Harley leather gear. Then they get in thier Ford Taurus and leave. It doesn't matter whether they own a bike or belong to a certain clique of people. As long as they LOOK like they do.
I saw a guy dressed in full leathers and dewrag and chaps in the Dairy Queen sitting with his 600lb wife eating icecream. They left in their Chevy Cavelier when they got done.

"You seem to know something about bikes. Have you ever done any riding for a living? "
I was a semi-pro bicycle racer (triathlete, marathoner, etc.) most of my life but I'm retired now and took up motorcycles in 2002. I never thought of riding a Jap bike and never will. Maybe I'll buy a BigDog or another American custom when I get tired of both my 02 and 06 Harleys. I'm happy for you and other Jap bike lovers, its just not in my character. That's not the way I was raised.

Hi HOTTIEBOY-
People wearing full-leathers off the motorcycle (or don't even own a bike...) is a phenomenon that I will never understand. My padded and customized Langlitz Leathers are fantastic when on two wheels: well-contoured, protective, and provide ventilation when needed. Why in the world would I ever wear them while driving one of my other vehicles...they absolutely aren't comfortable in that role! I won't get abrasions in my car and I can adjust the heat or air-conditioning to suit my temperature.
I guess I'm satisfied being a competent motorcyclist when I'm on my CBR, a motorist when I'm in my car, and a lycra-clad bicyclist when astride one of my cool Italian steeds. The "marketing" to become a badass always seemed kind of silly to me and I believe you and I are reading from the same sheet of music.

Why is it that you hate Harley Riders so much your feel compelled to trash them and their choice of rides on every thread?
Duly noted. Give it a rest. Sheesh . . .
