Just following the law...<br />

<br />

I rode my FJR to work tonight. It was 46F for the ride in and is supposed to be 37F and raining for my ride home before daylight in the morning. However, my <strong class='bbc'>Harley Davidson </strong><del class='bbc'>riding</del> owning co-workers said it was too cold and it might rain so they did not ride.<br />

<br />

It feels good to be a law abiding citizen.<img src='https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_emoticon' /></p></blockquote>

They must not use Vaseline? Too?

 
TomInCA said it best..."Rolling roadblocks with clowns dressed like pirates." That pretty much says it all. If we can't make fun of those dipshits, who can we make fun of?

Oh, and I love DQ.

I figured you as a doughnut man.

Fireman is running for cover.

 
I'd make a wise ass crack about them Motoguzzi riders and their ass-backwards engines, but why pile on when they're already sidelined waiting for parts to arrive. It'd just be cruel, really.

Technically, they are sideways, not backwards, but the rest seems accurate.

The same is universally true for any motorcycles made in Italy. Here's a list of currently active Italian MC companies:

Those Italians should probably just stick to making shoes and handbags.

Damnation about the "one cannot delete an unwise post" rule.

Yeah. The "unwise post" said something about step-through body styles and how they were designed for skirts. See? Unwise.

I have a Honda cruiser with no markings on the gas tank. Lots of people say "Nice Harley". I just reply thanks. Generally they aren't riders and are just trying to be nice or start a conversation.

Now I have the FJR. Now I get "Nice BMW".

Counting my wife's bikes we have had a Suzuki, three Hondas, a Yamaha and now have an Indian coming. I am sure at some point I will own a Harley. Brand loyalty is lost on me. My mind works more toward model loyalty then brand or make loyalty.

 
^^^You can never be a "real" Harley owner then. Thou must bow down to the Milwaukee church and pilgrimage to many places of distillery to commune properly, or else thou must be driven from the righteous flock and be shunned.

If you do go to the local HD clothing boutique and purchase your dream bike, please don't forget the golden rule:

I'm afraid to move up to a Harley. A number of Harley riders have told me how quick their bikes can accelerate and how much faster they are than Jap(anese) Crap. Heck, I believe them, most break the sound barrier with the exhaust while at idle. If they are that much quicker/faster than my FJR they are fearsome performers.

PHD Pile Higher & Deeper Harley bashing just to prove Ignacio right.

Sister-in-law getting ready to ride with us, cliche motorcycle, cliche clothes, cliche words from the pilot. People came running over to him at every stop to talk with him about his unique and cool motorcycle, not one person came over to say anything about my BMW K1600 except for a couple of guys from Germany, then they went over to talk with Harley Guy for an hour.

I tell my Harley riding friends I would ride with them anytime, I'll even wait for them every ten miles or so....they never call me.
Where do you find a bar every ten miles or so? For a typical 300+ mile Saturday "stroll" we take on our Jap crap, that's at least 30 bars you have to find to wait for them to join you..

So now we have gone from bashing Harley Davidson to bashing Italians.

Good job, Fred.

I'd much rather be riding for an hour than talking to people who want to talk about Harleys.

Hmmm.

WTF am I doing spending time posting on a Forum talking about Harleys?

So I'm a hypocrite amongst my many other characteristics.
