My Hardley Neighbor ... funny!
He's the one who rides the fat fucker blips the throttle for attention....
Bought the house next door which I never would have bought... very poor build quality that is evident immediatly... anyway
Bein a good guy, I introduce myself one day when out in the yard.
Nice bikes them harleys i tell him, I will probably buy one some day!
Ask him if he got a new bike.
Nope, I said who rides the white fat boy, I see over all the time?
Oh, thats whomever, a buddy.
Oh I thought that was your bike cause its the only one I saw last week.
Oh I was out of town last week hes says, then stares at HER .
OOOPS!
Well I see ya later, I tell them!
Next week...
Neighbour asked me what bike I rode.
Told him zx14... he says oh whats that?
A new model for this year.
He says is it fast?
ya , a little.
He asks what size tire is on it... 190.
Oh yeah, too bad he says , mine is a 240!
Your harley must be faster than my bike then, I reply.
DOOOOH!
If your tire is fatter its faster he implies, or like thats how you judge a bikes performance!
He mentions 300 tire, and asks why mine only comes with 190.
Well a tire thats too wide is harder to lean over, and follows ruts in the pavemant on the highway I told him.
yup, you should get one, your bike will handle better and accellerate harder
DOHHHHHH!
He asks why I bought that bike...
I like speed i tell him.
Where do u intend to use it he says?
Canadian Motorcycle Drag Race Assoc. ever heard of it ?
Uhh yep, I think so...?
he asks why I didn't buy a busa,
Oh they're too fast for me I tell him.
We should go for a good ride one day I tell him......
Don, a very very good friend of mine who happens to be a hardley die hard is gettin the drag bug... I let him ride my 14 and now he wants one...
We get along well cause we enjoy motorcycles... PERIOD.
If there was no harley would they still want a bike?... any bike is better than no bike! no?
He says he has little interest in ridin it on the street , want to geta used busa or somethin to drag race.
Any way Grant, this goof we work with long bleached hair, has a lisp(sounds like a flamer to match his girlie hair... I used to have long hair but never never evr evn thought of bleaching it.... LOL), got fired from 6 figure job for fighting , has been talkin Harley for over a year since I met him, wants to buy one.
Turns out he buys a 86 v45 magna.
Get me right, they were... a good bike , but for all the talk I had to laugh at him (inside)
What a poser!
First day I bring my zx14 to work, 4 guys compliment me, 1 says he was gona buy one but got scared... has never had a bike. then Harley - v45 wanna be says to my good friend Don,
yeah thats what you need Don, a kawasaki ninja. Ha ha aha aha
I couldn't handle it any longer... well Grant we can't all be masculine men like your self with hair 2 feet long and bleached, ridin a brand new night train......
i didn't get a Harley...
Oh I thought you said you wouldn't ride anything but a harley!
I bought a v-45 magna he says....
Oh sorry to hear that!
Its dissapointing cause i like anything with wheels, and love bikes.
Bikers discriminating against each other cause of their rides?
Thats just dumb.

A lot of Harley owners are snobs (except for me of course)...rarely will they bother with a wave if you're not riding one...(waving is for cruisers anyway LOL) ...I love when they don't wave at me....I just snicker inside knowing that I have one of those POS's in my garage (or at the dealers's garage most of the time). I used to say (long ago) "it's ok to have a jap bike if you have a Harley" in the garage...(I grew up since those days). Now, I would love to ditch the pig and make more space in the garage. Just can't get enough money out of it...maybe one day, she'll be worth something...for now....not worth it to get rid of it...

Ahhhh, Harleys.
Personally. I'd never own one but thats my choice.
When I bought the house I am currently in, the dude that lives behind me made a few jabs about "when are you going to get a real motorcycle" (alluding to my Z1-R and ZX-11 at the time).
For the sake of good neighbor relations I pretty much blew it off for the first couple of years because the only time I'd have to deal with the dude was occasionally when he and I were in our backyards at the same time.
Then one day the dick caught me on the wrong day and not so patient.
I was in my driveway washing my zx-12 (which was about 2 months old) and he yells from his deck (from which he can see my driveway) with "New motorcycle! Man, you could have got a real motorcycle again!".
Of course, the loud mouth mother fucker has two other couples sitting on the deck with he and his wife (no doubt YOH's - Yuppies on Harleys) so IMO the line in the sand was crossed for the final time.
I put my hose down, walked over as close as I could get and still see him and his guests and I said "Rick, lets go for a ride".
He said "I can't ride tonight, I'm entertaining" oblivious to where I was headed.
So I said "Lets ride tomorrow".
He said "Why?"
I said "Because I'm going to school you on what a real motorcycle is old man.".
He looked really dumbfounded and nervously said "Hey, I was just kidding".
I said "I'm not".
He has not spoken to me in over three years (although his wife does - she actually has always seemed pretty normal).
I guess I embarassed the dickhead, but he set himself up for a fall and I was happy to thump him in the chest when he was doing his Tarzan act for his friends.
Fuck Harleys.

My experience, California HD riders know how fast 12's are, busas are, 1000's are, and respects them, especially when a hardcore rider with prison tats and a bad attitude unloads from one

Hey Larry! Hope all is well my bro.
D - thats the problem. After a while with all the wave/don't wave bullshit you just get tired of playing the game.
Nowadays I don't even lift a hand if its not obviously a sportbike.
Personally I find the whole waving thing an annoyance and distraction anyway, but I'll wave (actually left hand gun salute) to a sportbike every time unless my clutch hand is getting jiggy in the curves.
The 5 light full dresser hogs don't even get a peripheral acknowledgement from me anymore.

This is juvenile, this Harley vs. sportbike shit, what if a non-riding( no bike) neighbor made a comment " how can you ride that dangerous thing" would that upset anyone? Why not?
Let it go, do your thing and take no notice of others opinions, they don't matter, it only matters if you think it matters.

I love my harleys....I just came from the dealer and a guy was telling everybody that his new hog made 62 h/p on the dyno and was really fast. the guy had 20 k invested in his new bike. I told him to hold on tight and not to burn up his tires.harleys are like a john deere....big heavy blocks of metal but they get the job done.....harley has made that sound for decades....thats what they sell...thats what most people want and will pay alot for. I can understand it but put a hyper bike...ie busa or our zx1400 in their hands and most of those guys would kill them selfs with the power or throw them selfs over the handlebars with the brakes.not that hd riders are bad its just a different type of ride and it takes time.I have a 05 screaming eagle v rod and you sit on it with your feet streight out in front of you. you cant move on the seat at all. railroad tracks are a lot of fun as are long trips . the bike locks you in a position that hard to move from. its a fun ride but after a while you want to get off. if you are older like me you want to get off sooner than later. thats why I enjoy all motorcycles for what they are and try to enjoy the people that ride them.

something i wonder about... so many sportbikers talk about how harley riders suck, are snobs, posers, etc, but anyone have enough experience to actually give an approx % that are like that? i suppose it varies wildly by region mind you. the few harley riders i've met have been ok, but we're talking like 3 or something.

Ahh. its like anything else..
There are always good and bad apples to upset the cart.
Good and bad in every ethnic, religion, or social group.
Its the assholes that standout though!
They want recognition!
its like they're saying " hey everybody, look at me..... I'm an asshole"

I can give you a rough percentage Freek and it's about equal with the sqkids, YOH's and cages.
50%
Thats my number.
50% of the people driving Harleys are idiots.
50% of the people driving sportbikes are idiot's.
50% of the people driving cars are idiots.
Assuming that all three categories cannot physically be participating in the same activity at the same time that means that 150% of us are assholes.
Grim outlook for humanity I know, but I'm just the messenger.
