I lolled. Interesting read since I can't decide what bike I want...

Also can't decide where I'll magically get the money for it... details...

This dude sure does make some retarded, broad, unsubstantiated claims about Harley Davidson, I think that at one time some bikers kicked some sand in his face at the beach.

I work with Bentley, Mercedes, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Daimler, Maybach and Harley quality engineering teams and I can honestly say that Harley has the highest quality standards out of all of them.

Buying a HOG is probably one of the best consumer decisions you can make, they hold their value a long damn time.

I've owned a lot of bikes.
Sport bikes are better than Hogs for the four years they are made to operate. After that, you just throw them away.
What it boils down to is, you burn rice until you can afford a Hog or a Ducati, or a Boss Hoss.
If you are small in other areas than just the wallet, you put down the people with better machines.

I take it none of you peoples have driven a V-Star?.

my cousin raced ducatis professionally well into his 50s. his brothers drove harleys. while these guys aren't the type of guys i would say this to, harleys are very much image bikes. look at it this way: they're like the hummer. not fast or good at handling (sports cars or bikes), not good for off roading (whateverthefuck kind of trucks or dirt bikes), not good for maximum comfort (luxury sedans or those huuuuuge touring bikes).

overall they are largely becoming insta-cred for fagots. while my cousin drives one, only drinks budweiser, takes his boat to the lake every weekend, and clearly did some crazy shit in his life, my uncle (who is literally a rocket scientist) takes one out on the weekends in the suburbs of denver.

I work for the company that makes 100% of the engine mounts for all Harley and Buell motorcycles.

The engine mounts are one of the few Harley components that are actually manufactured in the US, all the rest are made overseas.

So while Harleys are assembled in the US, they are not MADE in the US.

The Honda Boulevard was fashioned after the Harley for the Japanese because Japanese wanted Harleys but they are too fucking expensive. So those crafty Japs built their own version.

I will be buying a bike next year (I hope) and more than likely it will be a Honda. Like Nocal said, Harleys are little more than a 'Look At Me!!!' bike.

P.S. Fuck all rice rocket riding faggots. You suck, your bike sucks and I hope you end up being scrapped off the road into a plastic bag.

I've been riding for 4 years. I've ridden a handful of different bikes by different makers. A motorcycle is just an extension of the personality of the person riding it. It's a fucking toy for god's sake. It doesn't define who you are. Piss on anyone who spends their days poopooing other people's bikes. Bottom line is- if its got two wheels and its fun to ride...put some fucking miles on it and stop stroking it with a diaper, homo.
