I'm always up for some HD harassment - I'll join you on my VMax anytime...
I can tell you so many stories of jack@ss HD riders it's not even funny. Just Tuesday night, I'm all by myself at a stop light, and 3 HD jerkoffs pull up behind me. One pulls right next to me in the other half lane, looks at me, looks me up and down and shakes his head, as if he was disgusted. I completely ignore them, never even looked over at them. Light turns green, I take off at a normal speed, they all zoom by with their gorilla hangers and obnoxious exhaust.
Now, you fuking HD jackasses, what the fuk was the point of that? Let me guess - maybe his HD was faster than my VMax. I highly doubt it. Maybe his HD handles better. The VMax is not known for handling, but I would still bet my last dollar that it handles better than the HD crap. Maybe it was because he was pissed that he spends so much of his disposable income on oil because it's always running out of his machine. I just don't get the attitude. My guess is that the hillbilly jack@sses didn't get enough attention from their momma, so they've gotta put on the loud @ss exhaust to garner attention. "Hey everybody, looks at me, I need attention!''
I'm getting pissed just writing this...

I am at the track nearly every weekend with my track bike. Dont you tell me for a damn SECOND that a built twin will outrun me stoplight to stoplight nor in the 1/4 mile.
Talk is bullshit.
Set up a race and Ill end this argument real quick.. With a stock wheelbase as well, no extensions or bars.

Lets do it!! Any time! "VVVRRROOM! VVVRROOM!! Look at me! look At me!" Fvck loud exhaust... I got loud paint!
My bike don't need to be clutched up to wheelie, just add throttle...
Cheer up, Sir. Sportsters are fine bikes. I used to date a girl that had one....
You should have expected thread fail making a Harley thread on BCM, lol.
I will not be attending and I will probably keep my bike garaged, I don't feel like getting knocked off by some drunk shithead like what happened to many guys on the 100th. We'll see how many body parts are being picked up the next day.

This is something that never fails to get me upset. I have respect for anything out there on the road with two wheels. I'd hate to say it but most stereotypes are based on reality. Don't get me wrong because some harley guys are really cool (I used to work at the PDC, Harleys R&D) but when I used to pull up by one that the rider seemed to have some kind of spasm with his wrist every 3 seconds, I couldn't stand it. YES my old 06 CBR 600rr could take him any day of the week on any road at any enviroment, but did I take off like all hell? No. My exhaust was kind of loud (Jardine RT1) but did I make sure everybody knew it? No. Then again we can complain about squids on sportbikes as well. I miss riding, but stuff like this, I don't miss at all. When it comes down to it, harley guys are just people who have a hard time making friends. Most are arrogant. Not all. I'm done now. Keep the rubber side down guys!

Crazy, I have been around HD's all my life and never experienced the bull you all are talking about. I guess it has to do with the crowd you hang out with.
So far all of you with metric bikes are acting like ricers, I bet you fit the stereotype of the metric rider who zooms around on the highway at 150mph.
Seems this forum is about respecting what everyone rides but that doesn't apply to bikes.
I'm in total agreement. I love just about anything with wheels. Respect is earned, never given. My big beef is so many on HD's have this holier than thou attitude. Ask me acewhole questions like "When you gonna get a real bike?" Or use terms like crotch rocket, rice burner, and jap-bike. Or look down their noses at me at a stop light. They make jokes about "some kid on a crotch rocket wearing a wife beater shorts and sandals" But they fail to see just as many yuppies on baggers wearing loafers, dockers shorts and polo shirts.
Yes. As per usual, the only ZRX there. I was parked up on the hill, tucked back by a semi trailer.
I didn't mean to come off as an asshole on this topic. I did in fact ride a sportbike but NEVER went out without a helmet, and rarely went out without boots and a armored jacket so I don't fall into the squid group. I rode a sportbike because it's what I wanted. I appreciate harleys(don't have that kind of disposable income to say the least) and LOVE the nighttrains/fatboys. My father owns a fatboy, and I don't hate on him because he doesn't ride like a tard. I'm just kinda trying to explain how some harley guys really ruin it for others. I'm sorry but a friggen ultra classic bagger with pipes is NOT FAST. Congratulations, you just spent $20g's on a bike. That's your thing, not mine, so don't look down on me riding a jap bike. In all complete honesty I would own a buell right this minute if harley's motors didn't hold them back so much. They are slow torque monsters that don't stand a chance power wise against even a 600 honda/yami/kawi/suzuki. They handle like mad but I'm not into wheelies.
I hope I didn't come off like some ass who looks down on all harley riders. I've seen some truly cool bikes with really nice guys riding them who can appreciate what I rode as well. I like the biking brotherhood, and wish that all the harley guys I passed would wave back but they don't. Just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and a feeling like they are up on some high horse. Just thought i'd clear a few things up.

Anyways, I am trading in my Sportster for a Street Glide...
House of Harley is trying to find me a Black Pearl.
I ride to enjoy the scenery and spend time with the wife, don't need to go fast.
Though I might go heads, cams, and bigger cubes on the SG eventually.
Tombstone is a good ride, as is bisbee, but man that place is full of hippies.
How about this for a fast buell:

What was this thread about again? I lost track reading the arguments. When I was on my last Harley, I always saw rockets poppin wheelies past through busy intersections and all over. I just thought to myself that i'm gonna jus slow down so I don't run em over when they fail & crash. Oh well, if that makes em feel like they got a pair, each their own! Harley's IMO don't need to hot dog around to show off, whereas the Rockets need to live up to their name.
Anyway, What am I doing for the 105th? Working at Silk Friday, Sunday & Monday!! My Bachelor party is on Saturday!!
