Riverside Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Right side up or upside down?....names please.... Either or - and the names have been listed already (along with many more not listed.)

Jeff-7 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Most Americans will say Harley, cultural icon thing. BMW makes some nice bikes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chase1410 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Now then I'm getting older, Harley's are really beginning to appeal to me...When i was younger I only thought crotch-rockets were "thing", but my attitude towards that has severely changed...Just to need to acquire some leather and around 15g's...

mcmurray Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm sorry, but Triumph and Honda bikes piss all over Harley's. Why isn't Kawasaki, Suzuki, MV, BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and Yamaha included in the poll? my current ride; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Harley are classic American iron a right of manhood and a way of life. There one of the iconic items that a man can own, Triumphs aren't bad pretty cool machines along with Indian and Norton. Honda and all the other rice burners get good gas mileage I guess.

Steven Tari Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Not being disrespectful but Harleys are over priced Boy toys for men. I like the Trump's, The old 60's and 70's Bonnovilles. They ride nice and look good. I've seen a couple chopped and they look good that way also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamman Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If it ain't Harley, it ain't s**t.LOL!!! Ever been on a Harley? Duc's are ok. You'll wanna see and enjoy the ride? Imo that's difficult on a sport bike. Riding in that position? you wanna ride really fast? go on a sport bike. But they are not built for the long haul. Where a criuser is made to go all day. Different type of bike for a different purpose. not a good compairison. Maybe a sport touring would be better for you. oops!! Harley don't make those either. Triumph and Honda's, good learning bikes for the ladies. Triumph and Honda bikes piss all over Harley's? Maybe, but Harley riders S*** all day on Triumph and Honda. Bikers ride Harley.Period. I've been to a few other counties and if they had the money they buy Harley. Ok , don't get upset at me , it's all in fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have lots of buddies who ride the big HD, as well as a bunch that have boned out for the customs (read Big Bear, Orange County, etc.) When I bought my VTX in '04, they were jazzed because: "When mine breaks down, you can give me a ride to a pay phone!" Go figure. In the same vein, one of them "gave" me their custom, because I would "figure it out" and then give it back when I had dialed it in. Well, after I watched the fork caps unscrew with the idle vibration, and after the "b!tchen" pipes caught my jeans on fire, I gave it back before I was "done". Harrumph. The Honda VTX still starts on the first crank, every time. (FWIW, I like the Triumphs, too.) I have no problem with folks who like what they like - in motorcycles, and bass boats, too. It's not unlike folks who think that the 7 thousandth version of a '59 reissue Les Paul is worth what they paid for it. (oh, by the way, I made no vote on the poll. Most production bikes have so much parts from Japan, that it's impossible to differentiate...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, Harley's are too heavy, don't accelerate, brake or turn properly. They're more of a penis extension than anything practical. I can think of many other touring bikes that I'd take before a Harley. Not all Italian and Jap bikes are sports bikes you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVL Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm with McMurray on this. I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic that I tricked out into a bagger with an HD fairing and whatnot. Best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
