Re: WOW Harley
Typical Revzilla, for typical Revzilla readers. The comments sound like a typical IA thread of snarky remarks “chump change” led by the predictable DF. It’s not a Harley crowd that reads Revzilla, so the comments amount to mostly prejudiced ignorance. I will, as a Harley person, admit that I do not like any of the bikes featured in the link above. Not my style. But, what do I know, I’m hardly your typical Revzilla reader.DevilsFan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 9:09 pmHarley's new models. One is priced at $51K. Chump change.

Re: WOW Harley
Come on Gang.... If it has two or three wheels it's a motorcycle. Give it a rest
On some Friday's with good weather of course ,I have in my possession our beloved Retiree Ride list.
We ride to different locations throughout the state and occasionally we head to Texas just for kicks, I have to be honest but most of the riders, 65% ride our beloved Harley's. Most of those have rode Harley's all or part of their lives and half of them rode Metrics for a spell or too.
On a recent ride we had a Goldie, a Kawasaki 2000 Vulcan, a BMW and a 1300 Honda and four Harleys.
Some are new riders and the rest are old timers like myself, most are really retired from work and the very few that ride with us are still paying our SS benefits for us...That's what we keep telling them anyway
And we all get along fine thank you

Re: WOW Harley
It's probably because I started a kind of mundane, syrupy thread and folks wanted to fire it up. When I go through one of my, "looking around at bikes" moods, I stick it in here because few around me give a shit, LOL. I find the lifestyles of change bikes often, or if you still really like your bike and "marry" it, to be simply personal choice (which is pretty much your message above").Suzuki Johnny wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:27 amCome on Gang....

BTW, I'd be interested in the new (since '19) totally revamped Honda Goldwing, but that steering configuration is not for me so far. Too unconventional for me, like inverted forks. But it's all great and I'm sure many riders are enjoying that.
Yep ... two wheels for me. Some go to three. At the end of the day, the beer is cold.

I try to be rational with you, take some of what you say and have a DECENT conversation but you fucking go OFF on EVERYONE!!!
I don't HATE Harley Davidson...but I know what this thing called "A Sense of Humor" is...and you have NONE!
I don't think anyone gives a shit about what you think about Revzilla. It's one of the few remaining motorcycle magazine-types left.
Imagine living in a world where, no matter how good or bad a motorcycle brand is, you're NOT EVER allowed to criticize or offer suggestions about any feature the brand could ever THINK ABOUT changing...or else you'll meet the wrath of God?!?! That's RK's dream world.
***For the record, Harley Davidson's bikes were so bad during WWII they had to STEAL the plans of BMW. They may make the BEST MOTORCYCLE EVER but it was off the backs of the Germans. F-A-C-T

Re: WOW Harley
You are a simple minded fuck. Harley suspended normal bike production for the public during WW2 for the war effort and produced only bikes for military use. Just as there has been NATO rounds for 60 years to conform to all rifles regardless of nationality, so, too, did The Allies decide on a bike to be produced during WW2 that would conform and make replacement of parts simple to all Allied countries. The war was being fought in Europe where German military bikes were already plentiful. You really are a simple minded fuck.

Yeah, I am a psycho. Also a genius and your weak mind I find pathetic. Herb accuses me of “tough talk”, but it ain’t that at all of which you read this board. Just passionate typing, nothing more. The last thing anyone who knows me would accuse me of is tough talk. In a real world of face to face I’m pretty quiet and if I feel anger, which I very rarely do even on this this board or face to face, you’d be fortunate to even hear a rattlesnake shake from me. As far as a sense of humor? I LAUGH AT YOUR DUMB ASS ALL THE TIME!

Re: WOW Harley
Tom, I came real close to buying a new wing a couple year's back. Yes the steering configuration is different but it handles like a dream. I rode a good number of miles on a dct model and my biggest complaint was with my lack of confidence, not the bike's abilities. I just wasn't confident after stopping on an incline and getting going again. Otherwise I could toss it into a curve better than my c14.
Okay I have to admit that the two bobbling steering rods looked weird while riding

Re: WOW Harley
Not to change the subject I would watch out for the so called NATO rounds made in other nations. We had trouble with the British and German made 5.56 in the M16s and M4s. It caused excessive jams, like one in every 5 rounds on average. It did work but I would only load it if I had no other choice. However the 7.62 and 7.62 linked worked like a charm and you could not tell the difference in the foreign stuff and the US made other than the boxes it came in.RoadKing wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 6:44 am

You're so full of shit!
Read about any of the Army riders of the HD's during WWII. They said they were so bad, always breaking down, that often times they'd steal the BMW's and paint them allied colors. Face it, Harley STOLE the patents from BMW. THEY CHEATED!!!
And another for the record, Honda's sold WAAAY more than Harley ever has! Why? Because they make a SUPERIOR motorcycle! Screw Harley and their mediocre product. Honda makes a much better product, they're diversified and they know how to sell motorcycles.
Honda also never had to go through bankruptcies, nor have they ever come close...unlike shitbag Harley - and on NUMEROUS occasions! FACT! Harley's had multiple idiots running their operations for decades. 95% of why Harley still exists is because they've created the "1%'er mantra". For whatever reason MOST Harley owners spend more time dressing up in their leathers, believing in their minds that when the tool down the whole 3 miles to the local watering hole, that people will see what "bad asses" they are and tremble with fear...as opposed to just putting some miles on their 2003 "Anniversay Year" Sportsters with less than 10K miles on it.
Save your shtick for your other 1%'er wannabe's...nobody's buying what you say.
Better yet, go buy yourself a can of orange "Harley brand" paint, pour it in a tub then drop your naked ass in it and roll around. That way no one will ever second guess that you bleed Harley Davidson.
But I digress...everyone is different and prefers different types and BRANDS of rides. What's good for one doesn't mean it's better than another. PERSONAL PREFERENCE!
As for the Revzilla article, it was just pointing out the new models. If anyone read the (short) write ups they'd know there wasn't any bashing.
There will be a time where you will no longer be able to use, "But...I didn't know!", as an excuse. And if you're exiled from society, well, you were warned.

Re: WOW Harley
Never have purchased NATO rounds. Used them in military only and I found the 7.62 M14 to be very satisfactory. For my personal Mini rifle I have only used 223 Remington for nearly 40 years.sgtcall wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 2:51 pmNot to change the subject I would watch out for the so called NATO rounds made in other nations.

The big and glorious, "All American", "Harley Davidson" is going Chinese?!?! Yeah, can't wait for this HD brainiac idea to tank...like their Street models.
I was at my dealer last month. Haven't been there in a while. They are now selling the CFMoto brand. They're Chinese. I asked the guys what they thought of them. They said they'd sell ME one but there's not a chance in hell that they'd ever buy one!
