No, your loud motorbike engine isnt cool, its LAME

[noyd666]

I love the sound of a high performance engine, I don't sleep much but ill gladly wake up to hear a mob of bikes moving through, they echo through here, fucking grouse. only bastard I don't like sound of up the road is a fucken shit jap car.

You know, I ride my bike the way I ride it. I didn't change pipes or anything to make it louder or faster but, I do blip the throttle to avoid low oil pressure when setting at a stop. As for the big hard donkey cock, I haven't seen anyone wanting one except the one that keeps hinting about it, like YOU, COCK BREATH.

No, no.... It was directed at me... Harley riders are sensitive.... It comes from rolling over-weight, handle-like-donkeys, don't stop, oil pissing "machines," with engine origins from the 1930's.... Tractor Engines.... See, they can't keep up, they're mad about it... Always have been, always will be.

<-----Wheelies away....

 

[mrcreosote]

You'd be wrong about that.
Harley riders aren't mad about keeping up. They could care less.
They LIKE driving tractors.

They don't like driving sewing machines.

That's just the way it is.

i enjoy eating and drinking at sidewalk bars etc.

why should i be forced to interrupt my conversation with my friends/loved ones so some attention whore stops at the stop sign and feels compelled to overwhelm EVERYONE'S fucking eardrums?

total bullshit.

i would not think of intruding on someone's evening in such a way...

goes to show how little you actually know about HD engines, they're based on airplane performance configurations, the 45° cylinder offset being tops. Airplanes soon had 8 cylinders @ 45° offset = 360°, performance. Tractor engines were great big in-line flat head diesels back then.

the jap motorcycle industry's been copying HDs for years now, in fact back in the '80s HD filed an infringement suit against japanese bikes over 650cc and resembling Harleys, HD of course won the suit. HD was given a 5 year moratorium where the japanese would be forced to respect the look & engine size as a copyright issue, it was Harley's look for decades; HD was pleased and after 3.5 years dropped their copyright hold against those bikes allowing the japanese to manufacture HD lookalikes 1.5 years early.

~Now you know the rest of the story~


And so here we are 30 years later and being as the jap bike industry is FULL of 'cruisers' resembling Harleys I'd say it makes your point is completely invalid as to who's trying to keep up with whom.

You're right. I know little to nothing about them. The prior statement was a JOKE, when I was becoming a certified tech.

I worked mostly on my L-shape twin litter bike and am familiar with other bikes, too. Ninja 250's, 929'a, 954'a and the Rc's....

Namely, I just wanted to call Harley riders sensitive.

See what I mean? You're taking two classes of bikes, SS replica's and 'crusiers. Maybe the japs copied some shit, but I'm still willing to bet any jap cruiser out there can out perform HD one's...

Makes sense, since you don't see harley riding cops, well, except in milwaukee.

They all have Kawi's or Bmw's..... Harley suck any way you look at it.

Over priced technology.
Over weight.
Lack of stopping power.
Lasck of acceleration.
Ability to keep engine oil within appropriate area's of crank/head.
Brake fluid waterfalls.

Then the culture.

Half Helmets
No Gloves
Ass-less chaps....

HD has been in continuous production since 1903. If they sucked so bad, they would have never lasted so long.

As for 1930's tech, just when do you think overhead cams and multi valves were invented? I'll give you a hint, they aren't recent inventions.

No stopping power? My 1978 came with dual front disk and single rear disk. Stops fine. Disk brakes became standard equipment on HD's in the early 70's just like every other motorcycle.

Local cops here ride HD.

Better power to weight ratio than a Mustang GT. Eats 'em for lunch. Loads of Torque means I don't need to downshift. Just twist the throttle. 140 + is plenty fast for me.

As for the culture, well lets discuss the two jackwads that passed me on their back tire. I was rolling about 85 in my two valve, cam-in-block 06 Charger and two squirrels blew by me at 100 + on the back tire. Fine upstanding lads on their green and purple road rockets, with those fancy yoshimura pipes screaming like banshees. Both wearing shorts and T-shirts. They were wearing full face helmets though.

Chaps, by definition, are ass-less. Most people wear them over their jeans, not AS jeans.

Funny thing is, when I ride with my friends, there is always a few Harley's, a Honda or two, a Ducati, a couple Triumphs.

At least when I ride my Harley, it doesn't look like I'm SCREWING it.

Screwing it... lmfao, pretty good welder Dan.... lmfao for sure!

That said, I'm just playing around. Two wheels are two wheels. Those who understand, are enlightened. Those who take not the time to understand, are at the very least, less enlightened.

All the above, just two wheel guy shit talking.... We still ride two wheels.

Yeah man. I've owned a Kawi, a Honda, a '56 Triumph, a '79 Triumph and the Harley. I appreciate each of them for what they were.

I've ridden all kinds of bikes. One of the scariest was a 350 kawi two stroke triple. Handled like shit, but damn, 3rd gear wheelies were just a twist of the throttle, even with two people. The 750 model was for people with a death wish. Wicked fast, until the motor turned to shrapnel. Or you took a curve too fast and it tossed you off, whichever came first.

The Harley suits me. Easy chair on wheels. Can't do the riding position on a sport bike. Don't really care what other people ride... To each their own. Ride it like you stole it.

Ass-less chaps....

All chaps are assless. If they had an ass, they would be trousers.

 

[maryjane481]

I call them fart machines. They sound like monkeys on fart machines. "I farted all the way home just to say I am a moron..." I can't understand why we put up with these morons. They should be pulled off their fart machines and sent to a rehabilitation camp and trained to behave like humans.

So I'm not a chaps guy, chaps!




Wait, I could get into it... Just never wear them myself....
