    HD is and will always be #1. The first losers will always be hating on HD. As an lifetime HD rider I can only laugh about it. All the people I know and who ride but not HD always, non stop cheap shot HD. I don't get it. I think their bikes suck as far as I my preference but I respect its there choice for them. I don't down grade their bikes. I figure I don't have to, they're not HD,lol.

    I read the first couple of sentences and quit. Some things aren't worth reading.

    Harley's are like the American way of life that many of us are shocked have come under attach since Obama has been president. Did you ever think you would see the day where HD would be actively and falsely attacked? You can't ignore it or do nothing about....thats why Obama succeeds. Oh yeah we grumble about it but we do nothing about it.

    Obummer is history in just over a year. What we need to be concerned with is that ugly B!#ch who wants to be the next idiot like him.

    When I see articles like that I don't read them as I feel it's a waist of my time. I would rather jump on my Harley and go for a ride. As for those anti HD people do you really take them seriously, I don't. Harley will still be number 1 and those HD bashers can go ride a Honda.
    When our HOG chapter goes on a chapter ride we will have 50-125 riders. You never see that with the other brands.

    HD bashers have been around for many years, nothing new there.

    Let me think...when I got here in 1991 I was one of two HD riders. And had one Japanese bike rider who did diss HD but now rides a dyna swearing he was born on an HD and is a member of the U.S. Veterans MC. Funny and kinda screwed up. Just another poser yuppy POS. he was a sh*tty co worker assh*le. Retired now good riddance. His buddy only could do 6 months in the service,didn't like it, got out and tries to claim veteran status.

    For me my quality of life is compromised by existing along side ahole POS. STFU and ride your choice of bike if it ain't HD don't bash my bike thinking it elevates your poor choice. We'll all get along much better.

    Look some folks bash a product because they had problems, a lemon, or their grandpas, uncles, mothers sisters brother knew a guy that had a HD that leaked oil in 1948.

    Others bash things because they cannot afford to get into the brand,

    Still there are people that just like to argue and bash.

    I don't give them much credence or time, just get out and ride....

    A long time acquaintance is coming up from Florida next month with his Victory. He is a first time 60year old bike rider and who back in the day I took him to Harley rendezvous once to help get over his at the time recent divorce.

    Now since recently getting his motorcycle license and his victory vision he is all about bashing HD hard. I'm being cool about it and as a past acquaitance I try explaining stop going there. If you like your bike like your bike.

    If when he comes down he starts I tell him stfu,enough or he can ride by himself. I know he does it because he is new and he thinks it's alright because that what the victory crowd does.

    Ain't no dough't my 2000 R/K is not perfect but I chose to enjoy the time that I spend on it. Do not throw sticks or stones at another brand is my thought at being a better person than a sniveling azz with nothing better to do.

    Last December we had our annual Toy Run to the Shriners hospital for the kids. Both my Harleys were in the shop. One was getting the 95 kit and cams upgrade and the other was in for some minor repair (warranty) so I rode the Triumph. This guy we know started giving me a real hard time, calling me and the Triumph names and just really laying it into me. Man it just really set me off wrong and got off my bike and walked right up to him with my right fist clinched. Boy I lit into him and he started backing up. Don't like the guy or his old lady anyway. He always has a big mouth, well I was ready to smack him and shut his mouth up. He got real quiet and didn't say anymore. But he knows, and he doesn't bad mouth any ride of mine anymore. Maddog knows the puke to and neither of us like being around him. Guys like that usually I just can shrug it off but this POS really pissed me off that day. Seen him and his fat old lady a few times sense at the dealer but they walk the other way.
    Got no use for that kind of people no matter what they ride.
    Sure you and another friend my harass each other but never serious. Even Maddog and I will tease each other at times, shoot he came over and gave me a big hug the other day and I'm going what's H is this all about, it was just a joke. But to many people think they can bad mouth a guys ride even to their face. Glad I didn't smack him as there were cops all over the parking lot and probably would have landed in jail, but this guy needs it. He has been kicked out of two other HOG chapters due to his mouth and told him once to stay out of our Sunset Chapter or will run you out.

    Simple = fidiot Do not trash talk another persons pride and joy. Ride what you want or can afford and respect that other people have what they have.
