     i have noticed a LOT of people winge and complain about how harley davidsons are shit.

    unreliable, 2 expensive, not up to date with the latest technology, etc etc etc ,,,,

     

     

    why??/?

     

    is it actually true its crap compared to the others???

     

    is it...well they arnt harleys and they dont have the soul??

     

    or are they jealous they dont own one them selfs???

    '

     

    what do you think the real reason is?

     

    oh i might also add, even sonny bagger bagged out harley a bit in his biography, he switched to victory as soon as he could

    Not to simplify the matter at hand , but to maintain design sustainable dynamics Harley Davidson have set of to represent virtual methodologies in thier work. Obviously this enhances resentment amoung the masses when laced with design abandoned functionalities. To move foward one must never embrace eidetic principles, but must perforate real-time channels of contsant edification.

    I've got mates who ride a variety of bikes, some of them ride Harleys but more don't than do and most of them have been riding a while, the thing is even the ones that don't ride Harley don't bag them, they just say things like "not my style of bike" or "can't afford one" which is fair enough (me I used to be couldn't afford one and I think lots of people went through that stage).

    Most of the Harley whinging I've seen though is either coming from wankers I wouldn't give the time of day to or new riders who are just parroting what the wankers are saying (I guess that makes them wankers in training).

    Either way it doesn't matter, if they don't get it then they don't get it *shrug* it's their loss.

    I agree with Geoff, I ride with a group of guys and most of the guys ride boy racer bikes and 3 of us have Harley's. I really think it's a style thing, I simply love the old school lot of a Harley and always have, I've never been into the boy racer bikes. And as Geoff said the "cost factor" is an issue, before I could afford my Road King I had a Kwaka dressed up to look like a Road King! So part of the "Harley Bashers" attitude is simply bike envy.

    Exactly , jealousy is a curse they reckon , besides making genuine comparisons or takin the piss with mates , who gives a fugg what anyone thinks anyway , like tattoos or the ford holden arguement , it`s what you want , like and can afford !
    Ya gotta laugh , i like the , mines bigger harder faster than yours , glory too em all i say ?
    Like the ol`saying , If you have to explain it too them , they wouldn`t understand anyway !
    And what Bonkerz said !

    There will always be non-believers, brothers, but as long as we all stay on the path of the righteous, and keep the rubber side down, the road will continue to rise before us...

    And I'd have to agree with Bonkerz...well, if I understood any of it I prolly would..

     there has always been a rivalry between harley riders and jap riders for unknown reasons a bit like holden and ford fans. just tell them to suck it up .

    this is two reason why lol

     Fuck em if they don't like harleys, real harley riders are a brotherhood and the others just don't get it, you don't just sit on a harley and ride it you become a part of it, it's the closest thing to a religion for me so fuck all the neigh sayers and love your ride.

    Q: Why is riding a jap or european bike like fucking a sheep?

    A: They both feel good until some one sees you!

     Well I don't care what u ride as long as u ride.                   I've owned a few HD's over the years & ride the ring out of them all. Have had lots of trouble, but it's never worried me at all.  I got a twinkly & I got a tube fr ame Buell & love riding both. I get HD riders wing abou Buell's. But when I ask most of them if they have ridden one they say no. So I think too many people just like looking at the self in shop windows while on there bikes. Me I'm too old to give a stuff I just like riding. I don't knock another's ride.

    Just love the Hildo video!

    I'm not sure why people slag Harleys. I now own my first Harley, a 2011 FLSTN. It is the slowest and worst handleing bike I have ever owned. However, she makes me so happy just to clean her and make her all shiny. I ride it down the street and kids wave at me, why? Never got that on my jap bike. When I park it, people come over to chat, weird, never got that on my jap bike. When I tell chicks I ride a Harley, their faces light up and ask for a ride, never got that on my jap bike. When I'm riding in traffic at some shitty 40kmh, I don't care, I'm having fun, living the dream and for a few brief moments, don't have a care in the world. When you own a Harley you own a piece of ideology. That's what I never got until I owned my own.

    I think its both jealousy and misinformation. We still cop the stigma of the "reliabilty issues" of the AMF years whether its deserved or not. A lot of peoplewe know (non riders) have asked why buy a harley? Theyre slow heavy and always break down. Bullshit I say. Between the 2 of us weve done over 100000 km and the worst prob was a leaky rocker box gasket. Big deal.
    We get the same thing...waved at by kids of all ages, people come up to us and comment on the bikes wherever we pull up. Dont see that happening with other makes. No to harleys are the same even if theyre the same model. Cant sau the same for jappas. Cant tell the difference between a suzi, kwaka, yamma. Particularly Fuckin sportsbikes. They just got no soul. Having said that, dont care wot u ride, so long as u ride. Just dont slag my harley!
    Sorry for the rant. Im a bit passionate about our rides!
