VROD = Sissy Harley - Too much of Superbike (my opinion)

Haha, at least it moves, sometimes...... No thanks, I currently own 8 bikes and I can promise you I WILL NEVER OWN A HARLEY AGAIN !!!

I prefer my bikes to be smooth, RELIABLE, not to loose bits and oil on the way, have decent support and oh yes, did I mention be RELIABLE ?? A tad of speed is also not a bad idea.

As far as I am concerned, and Harley owners will shoot me for this, Harleys are for "Pretend" bikers who want to be seen and heard, they use them for a quick trip on a Sunday morning or down to the local pub where they can park them in all their chromed glory for all to admire.

I have been to many bike rallies in my time and I have seen far to many Harleys trailered in, to be driven around the grounds with lots of noise, before the proud owners load them back on the trailers for the trip home.

Well, to be quite honest I suppose that is the safest thing to do with a Harley vhpy

Ok, now that I have jerked your chain nicely vhpy (or should that be belt since you are a Harley fan ??) I suppose I better run for cover, just incase you look like the "normal" Harley rider :shock: vhpy vhpy

In my biking days (GSXR 750, Srad, and some others, like I said BIKES) we used to call them hardly-dangerous-chromo-sexuals :twisted:

We referred to the HD's as the most expensive vibrators anyone could buy... I used to do the bike rally thing and used to can myself when the HD guys stopped 20km's outside the town and loaded off their bonies, strspped up, hankerchief around face & and looked like a bunch of S&M dominatrix's! :lol: :lol:

Also referred to as "Hardly Ablesome"

Give a Suzbox or a Honda (like Varedero) to me anyday!

Glad to get this topic moving on the forum


Like they said 'different strokes for diferent okes"

"I admit that I can see the romantic bit but I cannot get used to the vibrations" - She will disagree.

Have seen the HD owners offload their bikes before the town, bt he same applies to Suiperbikes, Jermbikes (ok german Bikes) etc.

I will stick to my Harley Dangerous. The noise - well at least the the @sshole wh can't see me coming wil at least hear me coming (or is it aproaching?)
