Europeans: Harley-crazy???

[olderigetfasteriam]

How does one say "potato, potato, potato" in French?

PS - Apparently the Germans are EATING UP that absurd HD commercial that was floating around here a while ago...the one with all the "stick it to the man" talk that shows a bunch of HD clones riding down some desert highway together...

That's because, deep down, they all just want to be Nazis.    They all want to be part of a group with some mighty purpose, even if it's actually based on bullshit.

Possibly. However:

HD gives a different ride, a slower perspective, a differnet way of taking a corner, a different bike.

Don't knock difference.

Please don't use reason in our HD bashing threads. Continuing to do so will get you banned.

That is all.

This is wonderful news. This means that more of them will go over the pond which will hopefully limit availability here. Bottom line is maybe I will not have to listen to something that sounds like a tractor with a broken exhaust manifold nearly as much. Yes sir, this is very exciting.

Man, you could be onto something. I better go buy some stock in the company ASAP.

pomme de terre, pomme de terre, pomme de terre.  

[eurofan]

pomme de terre, pomme de terre, pomme de terre.  

which means

apple from soil, apple from soil, apple from soil  

Harleys are slow but Harleys have character.

Japanese bikes are fast but have no character

European bikes are fast and have character  

[SWriverstone]

Uh-oh Eurofan—you mentioned "character!" (We had a whole thread all about how to define character.) But great comments on the scene in Portugal and southern Europe!  

The thing that I find completely undermines the Harley bullsh*t is this: you can do *anything* on *any* other motorcycle that you can do on a Harley (except maybe lean back at a 45-degree angle while riding). I mean, you can ride other bikes slow, you can take corners upright, you can stop at bars at drink, and you can even put leather bags and tassles on a GSX-R.

It's just absurd to me that there's a notion that to do these things above *requires* a Harley. (Just like it's equally absurd that people think just because you ride a GSX-R, you've got to break the law and ride like a squid!)

The fact is that most of the HD community doesn't even *remotely* think independently...and neither does much of the rest of the motorcycling community. (Okay, I'll include myself in that statement as well, to stem the inevitable "What makes YOU so high-and-mighty?" comments... )

High and mighty? No, not really. Just kinda retarded at this point. Harley guys are right, you either get it or you don't. You don't, and that's okay. As for the community, name one community, of any kind, that doesn't have brain-dead sheeple members, assholes, what-have-you.
