I've noticed all those "RiceRocketJockey" guys with all those nice babes sitting behind them---YEAH, RIGHT!!!
I've also noticed the motorcycle wrecks in and around the city do NOT, repeat, NOT involve Harley-Davidsons. They have been, every one I've seen (after the fact, of course), a Japanese Road Race style bike.
Which leads me to conclude that the MEN with the Harleys are:
Better riders.
Care about their bikes more than riding foolishly.
Get more BABES!!!
I also sat behind a new "Jap Cruiser" and a Harley-Davidson at a stop light.
I'm sitting at the wheel of a Bus, looking down and listening to the HOG, because I couldn't hear the feeble exhaust tone of the "YAMAKAZUKI".
The two riders were vastly different in the way they prepared for the now inevitable drag race that was about to ensue.
Pretender on the the Left, nervous, unsure, looking at the opponent.
Real Deal on the Right, confident, patient, staring ahead for the "go".
When the light changed, the HOG ROARED!
The two took off and the low-end grunt and puff of smoke from the Harley was evidence that the race was WON at the start. The Harley just flat out did the job.
I don't know what happened down the road, but, I'll bet the new guy was wishing he'd spent the money on a MOTORCYCLE, instead of a "bike"!!!
Damn, watching that made me feel good the rest of the day!
