Thursday morning, after seeing the episode the previous night, I checked out the "Why does everyone bash Harleys?" thread in roadwarriors on Advrider. Sure enough there were a bunch of approving posts about the SP episode. A little later, someone complained, and mod deleted the SP related posts.

No shit? They have been censoring a bit lately, haven't they.
I sent the link to quite of few of my HD-riding friends. Curiously, I haven't heard back from them. :icon_scratch
I would bet that more than a few non-HD types have already bombed the Harley sites with the South Park link. As rabid as fags are about their "lifestyle" and brand loyalty, those threads were most likely deleted most riki-tik.
they are a tender bunch :oops:
I wonder if SP shows on the local cable :oops: :lol:
Hilarious episode! I sent it to a few guy too. Didn't hear a WORD back from the HD guys! :lol: :roll:
Take a look at the HD forums... most of them actually have a good sense of humor from what I can tell.
My pops is a lifelong Harley rider... I've been around them my whole life. We CONSTANTLY have the Loud Pipes Save Lives argument. In fact, he came into town this weekend and we had some friendly jabbing. He actually told me one time (and he was serious) that when I'm "ready to move up to a real bike" to let him know and he could get me a deal. LOL, he just doesn't get it!

I have a friend like that. He's completely convinced hardly's are the very best bike in the history of the universe, bar none. Even though his oil pump seized and grenaded his engine at less than 2000 total miles. :roll:
The last time he laid the 'move up to a real bike' comment on me, I asked him if his bike could do 80 on a gravel road, fully loaded with him up on the pegs.
(Blank look)
Besides, he's only good for a 200-300 mile day, with his awesome-looking inch-thick seat and the ridiculous ape hanger bars.
We were on a group (of firemen) ride last year, and at a rough railroad crossing, the low-riding hardly's had to slow to a crawl, while I gassed the Tiger and got about a foot of air. It was pretty cool.
Real bike, my ass.
My 30 year old Honda makes almost as much horsepower as some of these Harleys. I smoke the local bike gang guys at lights. (I was warned to stop doing that because it was pissing them off...) I have almost no maintenance problems. And I can ride it happily for 8 hours in the saddle, rain or shine.
I won't even start with what my Sprint ST used to do to these bikes...
Anyone can ride what they want, what they like, what they're happy with. But I fail to see an distinguishing characteristic that makes these Harleys special. Other than noise and chrome, how do they stand out?
If you ride a Harley in France, does it go pomme de terre, pomme de terre, pomme de terre?

Converting petrol into noise and vibration without the inconvenience of power :lol:
That's it, I am down loading some of that soundtrack to an MP3 file, sticking a little player with a speaker on my dash so that when a cement mixer pulls up next to me at the lights I can switch it on and get that authentic "Blubb Blubb Blubb Blubb" sound :ImaPoser

wee wee :lol:
When asked when I am going to buy a 'real bike' from a Fag, I respond one of a few ways:
"I'll buy a Harley when I cant handle a bike with any real performance"
"I'm sorry, my dick is too big to ride a Harley."
"Tried one once, got tired of pushing it home from rides."
"Sorry, I want to ride, not sit at a bar polishing chrome and stroking my ego."
"When did Harley start making real bikes?"
Quote from: "Sasquatch""When did Harley start making real bikes?"
They started an experiment 1993, but recently abandoned it. Apparently there were not enough chrome options for the Buell bikes :)
Q: What is the difference between a Hoover and a Harley?
A: The Hoover only holds one dirtbag.
Q: How are Harleys similar to puppies?
A: They both leave puddles where ever they go, and like to ride around in the back of pickups.

FYI, I have nothing against Harleys, it's just that there are some amusing jokes out there.

Well haven't seen the SP episode because the link says I'm not allowed to view it yet.....
But do have a mate who a year ago bought a couple of Harleys for he and his Girl. Eight months on he traded hers on a Triumph Scrambler (the new one with the 270deg crank)... for himself.
Now he only rides the XR1200 (which is a nice Harley) for a rush, and that'd be no more than a few hours. This year he's Touring on Triumph and even leaving his old Bandit in the shed. He's over riding concrete pumps, but I doubt he'll let it go.
Link now works. Stand by to laugh your ass off for 20 mins.
Friggin great
straight man who might buy a harley?

"No sir, I'm not a Fag yet, I'm just bike-curious".

Very Very Funny.

It's fagtastic, but there are some old triumphs in there.
I love seeing HD at shows, warms my heart to know that's a few more that're not on the road anymore :lol:
If anyone ever asks, I tell 'em I prefer a bike from a company with some real experience, not some 'up and comer' like H-D. Triumph's been bolting two -wheelers together since 1885.
Possibly humourous: in 1987 I joined the local HOG with a Sprint (Aermacchi 250). A few understood, but to those that gave me shit, I just offered to let them pass me 'round some of the local bendy bits: no one ever succeeded, that Sprint, old as it was (1967), STILL handled better than what was on offer from H-D in 1987.
Or I was completely insane.

I've waxed snark on HD on this forum before. But I wasn't always like that. I tolerated HD because of Buell. Now that they killed that, I just find the bikes pointless. They are NOT comfortable to ride. They are NOT nearly as safe as they could be with even a little effort: they cannot maneuver well. They give all biking a bad name with the amount of noise they make. Finally, the arrogance of the typical owner is too much: driving a chromed up, overpriced Chevy Citation and act like they're driving a Corvette or something, it's just so silly.
That being said, the fact is that since losing 85% of their sales in the last year, we could easily see a company like Harley go under in 18 months. That would make me a little sad because there are so few bikemakers that are American and I don't like that. On the other hand, if HD going under means Polaris could rekindle Buell, then where do I sign up to get rid of Harley?
I rode my '94 CBR600 to a motorcycle rally a couple years ago. I signed up to take a demo ride on a Thunder Mountain Customs bike. I'll always burn somebody else's gas on somebody else's bike when I get a chance. The ride was OK, the bike had phenomenal handling at parking lot speeds but I thought it lacked power for a speedy ride. Upon my return the demo guy asked what I thought. I told him, "If it was $15,000 instead of $29,000 AND you installed a Screaming Eagle to give it decent power, I might be interested". He looked at me as if I had a wiener growing out of my forehead and told me that the bike did indeed have a stage III Screaming Eagle big bore engine. I walked away laughing!
