Seems a bit slow, so how about a bit of Harley bashing?

i've avoided this thread for a while.

anyone watch the UFC?  i love it.  but it really bugs the shit out of me, one of their sponsors is H/D, which is fine.  but their slogan is:

"harley davidson.  the only motorcycle worthy to be in the octagon".

that whole elitist attitude.  clueless sheeple following marketing b.s.  reminds me of bose.  did i just say that?

You love the U.F.C,eh?
Bet you could watch it for hours and hours, eh?
That'd explain a lot.

We're still having that Pikes Peak race too, don't think you can weasel out of it this time either.

Man did this thread get hot for a while! I leave for a few days, come back, and you guys put me in stitches. I'm going to make an assumption here, (and you know the saying about those), but: I think the thing that really gets under my, (our), skin is the fact that Harley has become a triumph of form over function. I HATE, abhor, and despise that!
Bike are a tool, meant to be ridden and to do a good a job of that as their designers could manage. Harleys quit decades ago. I admired the V-rod when it came out, and I've seriously thought that a Buell Ulysses would be a great bike. I've spent my life working with airplanes, and nowhere will you find shiny trinkets replacing necessary capabilities. It's heretical to the entire underlying philosophy of the operation.
That is the Rubicon that Harley crossed. Their old bikes are really cool, (don't start, you need to take that literally), in their time and place they did a great job, but THE WORLD HAS MOVED ON! If you wish to be an ignorant, dumb-ass reprobate, fine, but my wife's scooter can do 80% of what your Harley can do, at 1/20 of the price. (But it's rice.) I know some great people with Harleys, but it's about the life, not the ride.
I'll slip back into my 'stich now, and get back on the road, alone.
Sorry, end of rant.

(Klavdy, where the hell do you find all those great er, "illustrations"?)

don't you mean the "klowny pulls his hamstring in the first 10 yards of the foot race" race?

Did you go to Pikes Peak?
I'll meet you there after next Memorial day or you could come to the West Coast Rally and I'll ride back part of the way with you.
We'll ride around Colorado and other places.
Go on, what else have you got to do these days?
