My thoughts on most people who ride harleys...

[gtrcivic]

You should have been in DC for Memorial Weekend... War Vets come in to town every year this time to remember those who died, MIA, in the wars... They come in droves and droves of Harleys from all over the country... Took 2 hrs for them to go from the Pentagon to Jefferson Memorial..... Thats a shit load of Harleys and they line Constituition Ave from Kenn Center all the way down to maybe 14 th street....

When you first hear them, they sound awesome with the rumbling they make, but it gets real old really fast. Especially when i was in Myrtle Beach years ago..... Kept on revving going up/down the strip at all hours of the day.... Really annoying when you're trying to sleep from a late nite.

However, average income is $45k for those who own Harleys. So they may look like dirtbags , but most aren't.. Only a few spoil the rest of the Harley riders.

I'd like to get a fatboy, but don't want to die yet, nor have the $$$

Yeah, well next time you're sitting in a 2 hour traffic jam caused by cars and trucks -- you'll be wishing everyone was on harley's and not suv's.

By this logic if everyone in LA would dumb there cars and bikes and reinstall trollies and use Segways then you would never see a traffic jam.

I was at Myrtle Beach recently and motorcycle week happened to coincide with our stay there.

Basically what i noticed was that it's primarily 40 and 50 year olds riding harleys. They are almost always
1) overweight
2) wearing a bandana and leather jacket
3) accompanied by an overweight, unattractive, older woman

It's pretty sad how these people are trying to recapture their youth... or something. They think they are pretty tough and pretty cool riding their harleys and gunning them every chance they get. They don't realize how ridiculous they look....

I guess harleys were "cool" when these people were growing up, and now that they can afford one of their own they've neglected to realize they're too old to look "cool" riding one... sigh.

can i get an amen...

Amen bro

what types of vehicle fit into the cat. of SUV????

I don't see why no is bringing up the issue of SUVs. They are a helluva lot more annoying than motorcycles. They take up the whole fucking lane, so that you can't ride on the side of the road to make a turn while in traffic, nor can you pass the SUV while some fucking soccer mom drives it 10 mph under the speed limit. Also, most of these vehicles are driven by mothers and/or women in general. Why? Because the SUV gives them a sense of protection. But women are the last people on earth who should be drivng SUVs, since most women are not good drivers (especially Asian women), and having them behind the wheel of an SUV on a highway is dangerous. It's equivalent to letting a 15 year old drive a big rig.

Amen to that one, not to mention that the cops had blocked off all sorts of streets for this event.

Last night, I was at a stop light in front of the new convention center, and there were about six bikes (crotch rockets, not Harleys) It was a noise making contest. One would rev the engine, then another, then another, then another. It made me want to check out the "RAM" aspect of my truck!

Did y'all hear about how Bush made the tax break on SUV's EVEN BIGGER with his new tax package?

Now there will be even MORE on the streets. Yay!

And why did he do that Lumberg? Because SUVs use a helluva lot more gasoline than regular cars. Thus, a larger consumption of gasoline (oil) by the American people, means greater oil revenue for Bush, Cheney and all of their oil-tycoon cronies. And with all the oil in Iraq now "liberated" for American consumption, Bush and Cheney want to make sure that their corporate oil buddies can sell as much of it as possible.
