Lets not forget that over half the harley riders go home at the end of thier ride and park the terd next to an infinity suv lol. I have been wanting for some time now to get a cruiser for a second bike so I can comfortably take realy long rides for the day. I must admit, although I feel they are way overpriced, there's this pressure from who knows where to ride a sportbike or a harley (as opposed to a v star of something like that) I dont know why, if I were to buy a Shadow, I think I would feel like a poser, and I hate that beacuse my dad has one and that is one realy comfy bike!
As far as them not wavin' Oh yeah, if I wave, and they dont wave back...They ARE gettin' the finger loud and proud!

 

a harley is the new symbol of the midlife crisis it used to be the corvette and porshe but since jesse james and american chopper every old guy that wants to be a bad *** is on a hog. What burns my *** about the whole harley thing is the ss and natzi symbol they all wear. I am a fan of jesse james so i watched that history of the chopper speical and all the modern stuff and the old stuff that was custom on a harley started with a shop in compton with a few black guys doing the work. So these racist bastards contridict them selfs everytime they get on the slow loud turd. The second thing that makes me laughf my *** off is the "all american made " bull#### i had no idea germany was apart of america ? as of the 1980s all of harleys engines and heads are made in germany they all talk crap about out jap crap and theres is american ya sure buddy.

 

I think the carbs HD uses are made in japan, but not 100% sure. I do know that most of the accesories that they have in the shop, and I mean like 40 million products, with the 'genuine HD' garbage, it's mostly made over seas also.
One thing that's funny about the custom choppers is when they take the stock internal primary drive and make it an external 3" belt. That's a good idea. How many of those turds do you think got their pant leg caught in that?

 

i would pay money to see some loud revving *** turd get his pant leg ripped off when he is trying to be the american chopper himself

 

Yea but even Jesse James and the Teutels RARELY use HD engines. All their choppers (and others on the Biker Build-Off shows) are S&S motors or some other brand. Something with real HP.

So you see, the "good" builders know a crappy engine when they see one. Not too many Milwaukee engines going on the nice customs!

My $0.02

 

good point you and i know that but joe mid life crisis dose not know that he just knows it is loud and it sounds like a harley. Get a load of this harley is passing law that custom bikes cant get registered i know a builder in ca and he cant leaglly sell a bike unless it is a harley frame .. to me this just proves that harley knows they make crap and need to find a way to keep the production line going
