Probably because he doesn't own one.

Senseless Babbling!!! :D

he's problaby suffering from LWS. (little weeny syndrome)

But to be fair, there are Harley guys that feel EXACTLY the same way about rice burners. Just because someone chooses to ride a different bike than you do. Kinda pointless really.

he's problaby suffering from LWS. (little weeny syndrome)

I bet you're right about that!

Hey, whats up with his boots? Those don't look like rice rocket ridin' boots to me. Dude needs some serious anger management classes.

Someone might remind this fellow that Honda quit something once, World Superbike. They claimed it was because they wanted to concentrate their resources on Moto GP racing. One thing Honda has plenty of is 'resources'. The fact is that World Superbike success didn't sell many bikes for them because it was an odd class, v-twin sportbikes, that just did not catch on with the public like straight fours did. Harley recognized they had the same problem with their racing program- relevance. If they didn't plan to sell something that at least looked like the race bike, why bother? They determined that it was just a waste of resources. At this point, I realize that, by responding this fool, I've come down to his level. And I just remembered one of our good buddies here has been warning us about the danger of doing just that, so I'm done. Screw this guy. Sportys rule, so say I!

"I don't think that we've seen any innovation from Milwaukee for sixty years now. If Japan, Italy, and Germany did product development the same way that Harley Davidson does, there wouldn't be Honda, Ducati, or BMW bikes."

Must be why many of those other manufacturers have been trying very hard in recent years to make their cheap, no re-sale value bikes LOOK like Harleys. hehehe What a muldoon!

Didn't even read it, just Gary's post. I like that guy. I love misguided, sterotyping, over-compensating whiners. They entertain me.

I'd like to invite him to sit down with my
Long haired, full bearded, scrawny, crossed
Colt Navy with "Freedom" banner tattoo, gun
nut, right wing, blue collar, two daughter raisin',
Gulf War vet, hard working, harder playing, ride's
a bike with a soul, terminal noassatall self...

and discuss the finer points of life. Seriously. Guys like this are fun to rile up and get all twisted around in their dicked up logic. Doesn't make me angry, just reaffirms my way of life.

Funny thing is, even though this is a Sportster forum, other than the occassional off hand comments and venting, I rarely see any one here bash any one else on two wheels regardless of where it was made.

A head above, a breed apart.

If I wanted to go faster than anything else I would have bought a faster bike. I don't -- I have owned very fast cars and cars that would top out at 45MPH or cars that have all of around 30 hp -- I burn gasoline for fun and all my choices are for fun not to prove that I can buy the fastest or beat every pissant that comes down the street -- I don't have to.

Everyone is entitled to his opinion but I know one thing, I have some Compadre's that are not middle aged, balding accountants who could break this dude's jap riding ass in a heartbeat. I will say that there are alot of RUBs looking to sport the image coming out of the woodwork but there are many Harley riders who are the real deal also.

It is the real deals that have allowed the wannabes to live a dream even if it is on the weekends. That is a fact. The rest I found is a bitter rant.

:bump

I've got a couple of "sport bikers" down the street and we're friendly when passing one another. But I have to say........even the loudest, most obnoxious, in your face Harley is infinitely less annoying than having to listen to one of those mosquitos screaming down the street.

Just a little anecdotal aside on the issue.....A quick perusal of my motorcycle fatality info indicates that, at least around here, sport bikers get all kacked up more often than Harley riders. Scream, you high performance skeeters, Scream! hehe

Meaningless drivel. I suspect he's among those that would like to own a Harley but doesn't have the balls. Me thinketh he toucheth himself too much.

If he knew anything about sport bikes he would relize

that Ducati has been dominating superbike races for several
years now, NOT A PIECE OF CRAP HONDA.

Oh yeah the Ducatis are V-twins that are dominating
superbike. Not the inlines. Stupid hipocrites.:laugh

Sorry to hear he was born with little weeny syndrom.:yikes

He actually makes a few valid points. Most of them are directed at the people that buy big twins, and HD is a huge marketing success story. He!!, HD will tell you it's about image.

But man, I can't believe someone spent that much time, on something that could have been accomplished in 1/4 - or less - space. That guys got some issues, that's for sure. I'm thinking a heart attack or stroke by, say, 40?

There are only 3 people on this planet whose opinions mean anything to me...myself, and my kids. I read about 2 paragraphs and decided I had better things to do, like scratch my arse or pick my nose.

Ramblins of a mad man! Type of person who tries to bait you into a fight, but all you can do is laugh at him as he gets angrier and angrier until he self destructs. Family entertainment at its best.

I love my Harley.

This quote explains it all:

"Oh, brother. What a bunch of stupid commercial driven trend humping NASCAR following redneck lemmings..."

Guess we know who will be votin' for Hillary in 2008. hehehehehe

I've seen this guy's stuff before - you ought to check out his website - you can get to it through the link to that "commentary" ??? of his. Damned if it ain't better than the comedy channel! Although it does get pretty old, pretty quick.

Can't say as I was willing to spend the time to read the whole thing, I stopped after the first paragraph. It's stupid. Amazing to me someone has such little respect for their own life that they'd be willing to spend so much of it composing such drivel.

I do believe he ignored facts just for ranting purposes. There's alot more to the buell then what he's talking about and anyone who owns one or knows the history can tell you that. He also makes no comment on the V-rod, and applies alot of old myths, and nonsense when regarding harleys and their owners. I myself fall under none of thoses biases, and I love my bike for what it is, not for what it isn't!

Some of you may not like what I have to say but maybe you will agree with me?

I had a youngster (surfer looking dude) and his cheesecake looking girlfriend on a rice rocket pull up to me at the stop light. We had traffic and I had the lead left lane to myself. The guy squeezed into my lane (AFTER SPLITTING THE TRAFFIC LINE) right next to me and even though it rubbed me the wrong way, I gave him a decent nod and the dude looked at me up and down in a cross way. I wear a half helmet and I told the f-cker that I will kick him and his girlfreind off of that jap shit for squeezing in on my lane!

Dude turned yellow and apologized (I did think that was a good thing) and when the light turned green he bolted. I just cruised down the road. Not all Harley riders are assholes to import riders but there are many of us that will educate (older, wiser, meaner, recovering, been there done that) the young who are too stupid to know when they f-cked up or who they are f-cking with!

:bump

Loco, I got no arguement with you. If someone pulls into my space, he better damn well be a friend.

Well done Loco, happens alot over here doesn't it. No problem if ya get some respect. :clap

Gazzahe probably got beat up by a biker chick in front of all his gay buddies :p

Did that guy's dog get hit by a Harley? Someone ask that guy why the Japanese try to make their cruiser bikes look like.......Harleys? So, Harley isn't very innovative. Well, at least they have original ideas. Maybe still using the same ones after 50 years, but at least they're original. THE original, anyways.

That guy also wants to know what would happen if Porsche built a bike. Well, you can come close- look at a VROD, stupid.

AS stated ... look at his boots....

A Wishhecouldbe...... not even a wannabeeee


Purile ramblings of an inept pillock at it's best

Just goes to show that any retard with a couple of working brain cells can have a website. I think he is suffering from a severe case of Harley Envy. Maybe he lost a trophy wife to a biker...

To that article:

Opinions are of course like Assholes, Everyone has one and it stinks...

He is entitled to his own opinion but, HE IS WRONG!!!!!!! :tour

Yes Sir I am sure most of us will have our Sportsers Still. I look as a harley as an investment. Sure they will lose a little value but not like Jap Bikes. Atleast that how it is around here.

Something I found rather intersting, our classified ads that go out weeklt called ThriftyNickel here sure most everywhere has em has over 100 bikes for sale this week I think ony 6-7 were Harleys.... Hmmm that tells me something right there.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/gronk62/iagree.gif I've been an XL Forum regular for almost a year now and this has also been my observation.

Narrow minded sh*t slingin' has been very rare here :clap

we're very broad minded here.......

we even have some real fatheads here ;)

I've conversed with this guy via email a few times. He's only about 40 miles from me. I figured I'd drop him a line since he was so near.

He published the first email I sent him without me knowing. Someone visited his site and emailed me from it (he had published my email address as well).

Well, when I got the email from his visitor I figured I'd see what was said. Sure enough, he tried to take apart my email like he has so many others.

I had a good laugh at it, and emailed him to let him know. He thanked me for having a sense of humor and we BS'ed a bit about bikes. So I kept his email address handy. And I'll drop him a line from time to time.

What I find highly amusing is how true some of his ramblings are. But if you can't laugh at yourself, you shouldn't laugh at anyone else.

..................and a flathead too ;)

I really feel sorry for him... how would you like to live your life like that.

and of course I also feel sorry for him due to the fact that he posted pictures of himself and his bike. I am sure there are more than a few semi trucks driving through Mississippi right now with his picture up on the dash with a bullseye attached.

rice-a-roni roadkill :yikes

I ran across this guy's site about a year ago and I almost died laughing. Even though I truly hate to admit it, some of the stuff he says is true. The reason he hates HD's and certain HD riders so much is because he was snubbed so many times by HD elitists for riding a Japanese bike. Maybe he went a little overboard with it. But, its the exact same thing when some a-hole on a BT, who couldn't change the oil on his bike if he had to, chides a Sportster rider for riding a "girls bike". For some reason, it makes certain people happy to berate someone else's bike, makes them feel like more of man. Statement's like "why don't you get a real bike" or "if you were a real man, you'd ride a Harley" are just pure garbage and are the reason for this kind of animosity by many foreign bike enthusiasts. I refuse to treat these people with disrespect just because they chose a foreign bike. This lack of respect is the reason for this guy's website.

I could care less what anybody thinks unless they are giving me money , and if my h-d is a sign I have to much cash on hand then I guess I have done pretty good for the guy who was voted most likely to go to prison by his high school class. if harleys suck so bad then why does everybody else try to make one .

do ya think this is him in this vidio?? :yikes
http://www.big-boys.com/articles/badbikestart.html

he must have gotten turned down at his local dealer for a loan.either that or he just needs a big ass hug.

The guy sure seems to have a lot of time on his hands sitting around typing all day. Maybe if he rode a little more he'd knock whatever that is stuck up his ass loose :frownthre

ROFLMFAO

This dude rides a Honda 600RR and then continues to talk all that trash. I am not no sterotypical Harley rider.

Not that I am god or anything but I still have my crotch rocket sitting outside. I am sure if I go back stateside, I would give him the chance to line his bike up to my little ZX10R. First street bike was a 250cc when I was 14 my first dirt bike was a KD80M at 8 years old. LOL black stead that finished second to last in its class comparison!!

Pathetic to say the least!!

MAN!!!! I LOVE those 1960's hippie boots too. :laugh

The ride says it all :D

I use my Sporty for tooling around and as a pit bike.
One day at the track some guy pulls up on his rice bike to me standing next to my Sporty and informs me that I should take that slow pig home and not waste track time.
He didn't notice the blown '03 Mustang Cobra sitting next to the Sporty. I told him I'd race what I came with and in a grudge match blow his helmet off.
He laughed and said your on. I pull up in the next lane at the line with this 500+ hp fire breathing Cobra (it's what I came to race). The look on his face was priceless. I then proceeded to blew his helmet off after filling it with tire smoke, real bad. There is alot to be said about good American iron.
When I want to scare the crap out of myself I get in the Cobra and when what I want is fun I get on my Sporty.

:headb :laugh I guess i must put in my two cents since i dont have much money from buying a harley and Chrome! Sounds he has to much time on his hands to set and think of all that Bull S**T. He might want to get a Job and he could afford a harley instead of setting on his lazy A** making fun of Harley owners and there Bikes. Wish he would come to of our bike rallys

What a jerk-off....way too mich time on his hands !!!! What really comes to mind here is....that you DON"T have to defend the TRUTH....and the truth is that a Sportster is a great, all around, fun bike to own and ride, and did I mention it's COOOOOOOLLL....I chose not to pay much attention to the ramblings of a malcontent who in all probability wishes his ego and peers allowed him to ride a Sporty (or any Harley for that matter) you know usually when someone's being all loud about something, it's probably bullshit or a LIE....my $.02....Mike

not worth my responce

not worth my responce
That was my first thought...but I just felt compelled to say at least something

ok, I'll say something too.............

shut the !!!!!! up , punk

not you fehead :)

:D ......Hey flatty, been meanin to ask ya (and not to hijack thread) but how's the new job going

this thread needs highjacking

great, lots of driving , I average about 100 miles a day or roughly two hours on the road and never the same thing twice at the garage . much better than all that assembly line bull s**t I've delt with for the last 20 years of my life

there are some boring b.s. jobs to do ,but thats life , take the good with the bad

that's good to hear, I know I'd be bored sh#tless going to the same place evryday doing about the same thing everyday...alot to be said for moveing around through the day....each of my jobs is in another house in another place, I like moveing around and dealing with different people...and no two jobs are the same....but it's hard f#*king work though, but I like it....man good for you that ya found something ya like

well....I didnt say liked , so to say, I am rolling around in garbage from time to time but it still beats a foundery any day

But man, I can't believe someone spent that much time, on something that could have been accomplished in 1/4 - or less - space. That guys got some issues, that's for sure. I'm thinking a heart attack or stroke by, say, 40?

bubbahog.

I agree with you completely! :D

this guy has some serios issues and prolly never rode a harley.

how bout those GAYviator glasses

thats why the 4 major sport bike builders are trying to copie the harley. v twin chromed out low and long fenders. i think that dude has sand in his vagina.

The guy rants just like a liberal. Hope he enjoys his ''leansonhishandswhilehiskneeshithisstomachandcant ridemorethanthirtymilesbeforehecantfeelhisballsloo ksjustlikealltheothersportbikesouttheremotorcycle' '!

As a member of law enforcement, the following thought crossed my mind:

Since he represents himself as a police officer and expresses such a strong distaste(some would say vitriolic hatred) for all things Harley.....

It might prove interesting to review all of the citations he's written. He takes such joy in irritating folks that enjoy HD's we might find that his favorite activity carries over to his law enforcement duties and HD riders get an inordinate amount of attention from this putz. Can you say "profiling?"

The writter has no concept of enthusiastical biker enthusiast's.

Grayfeather.

A google search on his name brings up some interesting stuff. Try reading through this drivel:

http://www.goingfaster.com/shadow/intervew.html

.....and one day he ends up on the same front grill of a Kenworth, as the splattered bug next to him did... As I on my scoot give the trucker a friendly nod...

In my day we referred to this kind of guy as "dork." He is the type of officer who is the citizens worst nightmare.....a "dork" who probably got teased and tortured throughout his school years and is now exacting his revenge as a police officer in a town with a population of 7,000. A SWAT team in a town of 7,000??????? I've seen his type quite often in this job.....usually gets fired for being a prick or getting someone hurt.

I just read the whole article. The twit is just a closed mind blue state moron.
A Ward Churchill type idiot looking for fame by in-sighting hatred.
This jerk thinks if can't be liked by anyone he might as well be hated as the next best thing.

I read 2 paragraphs of that and stop reading. IMO, it wasn't worth my effort. :headb

I thought it was funny... :D

So much meaningless tripe. :why


Holy crap... it's pretty obvious the douchebag that wrote that piece got his ass beat in a biker bar or something just before writing that drivel. I'd like to meet him... yeah, in an alley... behind the trailer park...

I bet you're right about that!

Hey, whats up with his boots? Those don't look like rice rocket ridin' boots to me. Dude needs some serious anger management classes.

That's funny Xena, I was going to comment on the same observation.

i will forever worship the HARLEY GODS.:banapart

What a tool. Yet he prides himself on his American pride. "Harley's don't perform as well as my rice! Boo hoo!" Some of us don't need lightning fast performance. I like to cruise, not go so fast I travel back in time.

Jaggof.

Well...

Intresting, after the first few lines I couldn't be bothered reading anymore...

The SAD thing is that we are introducing this nonsense to more people, when in truth it doesn't deserve an audience.

It is angst ridden BS.

Not worth commenting on...

Not worth reading...

Not worth anything really...

It is one very sad persons opinion, but by continuing to show links to this kind of pathetic crap we are helping perpetuate it!

I didn't want to reply to this because of that very reason, but I think this thread should be locked now. There is enough BS in the world without having links to this and why on earth do we need a thread "To get tempers flaring" ?




kb

i just dont get why all the effort on his part to vent about it?
i dont like his bike but im not gonna start a webpage, blog about it,
and respond to evey negative email or post i can get at ? and harrass,insult and trash everyone who rides a bike like his
he musta got thumped by some club at one time or his girl ran off with a guy on a HD

I didn't read any of it, but I am curious how a thread comes back up over 2 years after its last post.

I didn't read any of it, but I am curious how a thread comes back up over 2 years after its last post.

Oh well...:doh

you know what i mean bill.;)

you know what i mean bill.;)

Indeed I do! :doh ;)



Oh well....

hey , did ya hear the one about the "GIRLS BIKE" ?

sorry I had ta ya kno

The guy who wrote it must have been out run by a guy on a Sporty.

Its a dirt bike with a Tractor Engine on it !!!

How much Cooler Can it Get ???

I know guy's like him, they think their opnion is always right because it's "their opnion". I guess I shouldn't let it bother me, but sometimes it does.

Last Sunday I was in a Suzuki shop with my buddy who rides sportbikes. He said to me, "well, which one do ya like." I politely said, "I really don't care for any of them, just not my thing." "Not even the cruisers?", he says. I just again said, "no thank you."

That being said... if the tables were turned and we were at a HD dealer the same guy would of been talking all kinds of nonsence about HD's. He's my good buddy, and bikes are about the only thing we don't see eye to eye on. But you won't here me talking them down to him.....poke fun, yes.

" A tired old piece of hardware that can't keep up with today's high tech world. The HD twin is fifty or more years old!"

me thinks he needs to go back think about this a bit...

He has probably had his ass kicked by some guys on Harleys and this is his big payback.
What a ween.
I am guessing another session of woop will be dished out to him and his ass.

Maybe the fact that people spend over a million dollars at Barret Jackson on a old Hemi Cuda insted of spending a small portion of that on a new 427 Z06 means Harley owners are not the only so called stupid people out there. From now on we will call this guy Richard , no wait that to long lets just call him Dick!

I was didn't read more than the blurb posted in the thread here, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night. I want to produce the next Geico commercial, So easy, a biker can do it. With the neandrathal's wearing RUB clothes in it.
And they called those Dingo boots. FYI

And I think this guy was the victim of one too many "biker makovers".

Dude has obviously never ridden a harley.....

...Somebody needs to ride their harley over and pull that big honkin' STUMP out of his ass....which you can't do with his... whatever japanese bike he's ridin....cause it has no torque!:doh

I think some harley rider picked on him and stole his girlfriend.

Why go to such great lengths to Trash HD's ?

"Thou do protesteth too Loudly"..:doh

I think this guy is suffering from "Big Bore Eny"

or maybe he is overcompensating for a Small Piston !!

Why else would he put so much effort into something he thinks is so useless ??

Besides I think Tractor Engines have come a Long Way !:shhhh

Yeah, I ran across that piece of crap babbling almost a year ago. Had a good laugh, and never gave it a second thought.

When a psychotic with a small "whatzit" and anger management issues is allowed access to the Internet, one should not be surprised at the outcome.

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could probably find a similar nut-case spewing a like amount of venom about baseball and apple pie. So what? :D

Mr. Christopher Shields opinion piece was written 14 years ago!

After reading the article, I gazed long and seriously at my Sportster!

My conclusion -------- It does look like a motorcycle!

i read through most of this website rolling with laughter, then sat looking out the window dreaming of what was CBR600F Chopped XV535, Custom Vstar1100 with side car and what now is Chopped XV535, Custom Vstar1100 still with side car ;) and a XL1200C oh look no CBR and why for all its performance and handling it was soulless and ahem slow in a straight line relavtivily speaking drop the side car off the Vstar roll on at 40 and kiss most things including the CBR good bye, torque is so much more fun than peak hp
