Who Hates Harley Davidson?

They would not react thinking it was another Harley. All HD employees go through Harley's Mind Control Program. A sort of electronic frontal lobotomy. The rumor is that they are installing mini versions of the device at dealerships too. As an added feature, it lowers the IQ by 30 points.

There's a young guy in Seattle that got flush inventing some thing he sold to Microsoft. He's a big Honda fan. Has a Valkyrie with a blower. I hear it hauls ass..

 

Those hardass dentists and accountants can be scary.

 

Hey it's the individuality of the HD's that make the biker. When you got bling show it!

 

There's a guy on one of the FZ forums who sells Harleys for a living. He has done very well out of it but he also hates Harleydoods and their alleged motorcycles. His stories about the stupid shit he sees and hears are awesome.

 

I was talking with an attractive older lady (my age) at a local bike hangout. She confessed that she worked as a bookkeeper at a Harley dealership. She also told me that because she didn't have "the attitude" and considered anyone that walked through the door a customer, she had sold 4 bikes to people that the sales staff ignored. It could be that the sales guys were just ignoring people (they do that in any dealership) but it could be that the guy or girl wandering around the showroom didn't look like the Harley type or didn't ride up on a big V-twin. In the motorcycle game the object is to sell units. Harley does not cultivate the whole Harley Mystique in a vacuum. It's designed to keep people buying over priced bikes, mandatory performance upgrades and glittery accessories. If your fantasy lifestyle world interferes with sales then you have a problem.

 

I was led to believe that was Norcalboy on his latest project bikes.

 

The last prez of my MC sells Harleys. He has a 1955 K that is spotless and two Aeromacchi 350's. Sells the shit out of both new and used. Great guy, when asked he just tells everyone he has three kids to feed and that the wannabe harleydoods have the pesos. Whoops, he has a nice Duc too..

Just Emailed him about that sale at the Harleystealership in Irvine, CA to see what he has to say about that. Likely that deal has gone viral at dealerships across the country..

 

It has 2 wheels so I'm ok with the bikes even if they have near 50% Japanese/ Korean parts on the "American bike. lol A lot of the owners tend to be ill informed ass hats though. I use to ride with a friend and his wife years ago, they had a beautiful Gold Wing. He has been on the Harley crack pipe for a while and he and his wife quit wearing gear and donned typical Harley gear while poking fun at me the leather clad rider. Well last year they went down on their Iron horse and got rashed badly and messed up shoulder and knees. They are riding again with Harley leather jackets but still just wearing the 1/2 shell lid. I guess the gravel they scrubbed out of their face did not hurt enough to warrant a proper helmet.

Holy shit! 145 pages! lmao!

 

Epic thread is epic.

 

Turn the clock back to the early 70's. Me and my buddy are riding around late one night. My buddy who works at the local Suzuki shop is riding his 500 Titan twin with the milled heads and I am riding my CB 750 K1. We pull up to a light with Harley guys revving their engines. We could sense they were about to race each other. I don't even think they saw us behind them. As the light turns green these two take off. My buddy and I both hit it and pass them both in the oncoming traffic lane. How embarrassing is that to be passed while drag racing? My buddy and I still laugh about that one.

 

Thanks for the ammo.. So far the big winner is the guy who said an Ultraglide could do wheelies standing still by just putting the harleydoods old lady on the pillion.

Not a clue about "previously owned" bikes down under or Europe or UK. I hit Craigslist local maybe a couple of times a week just to see what's going on. Lots of dirtbikes for sale... Probably because they are scary fast and what was wanted were cow trailers. (or sheep) The preponderance of streetbikes for sale are Harleys by a wide margin.. and the sellers are still under the impression that some of that old junk is worth big pesos.

 

Hey, anything that costs $25k and only clocks up 3000 miles in 10 years must be an investment, right? - After all, one of the most common objections I hear/read from Harley fags is "That rice bike ain't gonna be worth shit in a few years!" (My response is, of course, that I buy bikes to ride, not to re-sell...)

 

My Roommate is a Harleydood and he wants my VFR sooo bad. He's the typical no helmet, no gear whatsoever. Although he did finally order a turtle shell after me bugging him about it ever time he rides.

 

Do you not find having a gay harleydood as a roomie a little disconcerting?

 

you would not wana fall asleep in that flat wearing chaps, dat fer sure ound:

 

Lol, he's actually a good dood. But he does get that "Im a badass" vibe when he's on the bike though. He thinks his Harley is a piece of junk because it's constantly in the shop. Somehow he still loves it and won't part with it to get a VFR, although the thought did cross his mind.

 

seems bout right...

 

Send him here, we will convince him..
