Harley ... relies on sheep

Of course you wouldn't want to say this to one of us to our face. Especially with a name like hottieboy. Try coming to a HOG rally such as Sturgis or Daytona and call the guys there sheep, and tell them you are the hottieboy - ha ha.

I'm going to Myrtle Beach in two weeks. Been going there twice a year for about eight years now. Not once have I been afraid of any one of them. Nor have they been afraid of me, I'm sure. I have owned several harleys in the past and will never own another one. I have an image, I don't need to purchase one. Sorry I am not much of a badass biker to respond in a badass tone.

Do you think if I buy another Harley, and get all the HD endorsed crap to go with it, I could suddenly be badass enough to respond?

I will just say this: I paid $12,000 for a Yamaha that is 300lbs lighter, has 3 times the horsepower, and is 60 years ahead in technology.
Are you saying that I shoulda paid $18,000 for a bike that is twice as heavy, 1/3 the power, built on 1940s engine format, then covered in chrome and labeled nostalgic?

I plan on riding the chopper at the beach this time. It has an S&S boat anchor for an engine but it looks good. Thats all that matters, right? I might ride the 81cb, I am not sure. I might choose something with a little more power, not sure.

My friends ride Japanese rides but they also own a few harleys so I am sure they will ride those since it is a Harley event.

You seem to know something about bikes. Have you ever done any riding for a living? You know, testing and evaluation? No? What about sanctioned racing? No? Ever taught a riders safety course? Ever been asked by a tire manufacturer to evaluate a prototype set of tires? No?

Harley's are for those who are more about image than riding. Any wonder the company make more of licensing pocketbooks and womens leather undies, etc. than producing motorcycles?

weren't you the one that just a few posts ago said:
Dude, you need to focus your anger on something productive, seems to me.

is there something about harely owners that makes them feel a need to play badass and threaten violence?

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?
