Yeah, you might have been faster on your Kawi900, but we still laughed at you at intersections and bars.
I still laugh at you today. |

That bike has some messed up proportions, just seems all a bit off.
I don't really care for Harley's though, not to mention the sort of people who ride them. |

Don't forget the govt tariffs on those foreign bikes that were putting the motor co out of business. HD has been propped up as much as GM.

Looks more like you are trying to get it running or stopping yet another oil leak. That does not look like the face of a happy rider. More like the face of someone with back problems from riding a pos that has no rear suspension.

Its pretty much impossible for most of arfcom to have any understanding of Harley Davidson, especially back in the days before the RUB's came along and changed it all. Riding or owning a Harley was a lot more than just wearing Converse sneakers, long hair and racing around on some shit Jap bike like the ignorant fools most foreign bike riders were. Of course it took a lot more to keep those older Harley's running too. That was a pain in the ass and seems to get forgotten as years pass.
On arfcom most members can do super tuning of an iPad or smart phone (after all, most of teh arfcom are IT tech geeks), smoke dope like the Grateful Dead and dress like the faggot hipsters they are trying to be but cannot under any circumstances understand, let alone handle, a Harley Davidson motorcycle. |

Seriously? I see small females "handle" full dressers, 1000cc sport bikes, 450mx bikes...the whole idea of some bikes taking a real tough man to ride them, is kind of a joke. Those bikes that some folks thought were really bad ass, fast and powerful back in the 70's are slower than most beginner bikes now. I can tune FI on an iPad, or rejet a set of carbs...both are easy. |

I just acquired a 2004 Softail Standard, and I am loving it. At 42, I had no intention of ever owning another bike after riding a little bit when I was in my early 20's in the Navy. I have noticed that i am one of a distinct few who ride without preconcept of attitude. I am neither old cruiser guy with bluetooth coms and heated knuckle pads and HDTV and a couch to ride on, nor the burly cut off shirt bugs in the teeth crusty biker tat guy. I am content to just cruise along on my skinny front tire. I am certainly not jesse james county choppers affliction superchrome spikes all over the bike douchebag either.
Suffice to say you all sound like some extremist douches to me, in your own little way. Just ride, bitches, and stop taking yourselves so seriously. |

Shovel top evo bottom..didn't that start in the 80s?I like the generator bottom end myself. The motor in the pic is all shovel. Early shovels had the pan head style bottom end with the kidney shaped cam cover on the right and a generator on the front. Later shovels like to one in the pic had the cone on the right. Evo's used the late cone shovel bottom end. Main difference was shovel cylinders were bolted down with five short studs and the Evo used four long studs going all the way up through the cylinders and the heads. |

I had a Harley (2011 Wide Glide) for a year. Then I came to my senses and realized I liked to ride bikes that handle better than a couch, not to mention HD riders being the biggest collection of non-gear wearing douchebags on the planet.

The whole "Harley is the only real bike" mentality was always stupid then and now.
What pisses me off is that American's could and should be building cutting edge tech bikes then and now but instead we cranked out a lot of lo-tech crap based on a turn of the century farm implement engine design. I will agree that Harley has mastered the art of merchandising.... Crap count how many HD emblems are on the HD edition F-150 as an example. I especially like the HD toilet seats that no "real" biker can't be without! And Elton John as the closing act at the 100 HD year celebration was a master stroke!!!! LOL Look ride what you enjoy. I still own and ride my 1980 KZ750E1 that I bought brand new. I also have a 2001 ZRX1200R. I like to ride motorcycles......... not fashion statements!
