Harley Rider Stereotypes - Discuss

Antarius said:
Didn't go that way with me.

Teens - Sportbikes
Early 20s - Sportbikes
Mid 20s - Sportbikes/SuperMotards/Dirtbikes
Late 20s - Cruiser (Harley)/Sport Touring/Sportbike

Now that I am a Harley owner, I think there's a very real likelyhood that I will always either have, or wish to have, a Harley. I like sportbikes and dirtbikes and supermotos too, but I'll very likely still own a Harley as well.

Contrary to popular belief, you can like both!

I like chaps on a lot of guys. Even straight guys. Get the right guy on the right day in a pair of chaps and I'd give him one of those pull-the-sunglasses-down appreciation stares coming and going.
 
i love mine


deal with it
 
i know a lot of harley riders that are good people, just not something thats ever interested me, dont think it ever will. every group has bad eggs, dont let them ruin tho whole groups image.
 
Sadly there are a lot of Harley bikers who are very similar to Duc riders. Instead of Chrome billet it's CF, instead of Apple Jacks its the 'bux, lots of posers in this world. Many of the Harley dudes I know grew up on RD350's, H2's , H3's and Combat Commandos. They rode the worlds fastest production motorcycles and survived to end up on HD's. What will you be riding in 2030?
 
Every rider on a Harley out here is absolutely predictable in that they will, every time, stop at the intersection sitting in the puddle of oil in the middle of the lane.

This is without exception.

Awesome...I was wondering how many posts it was going to take to suck in the Ducati haters: 45. :laughing BARF's slippin'. OK, now someone go start a separate thread about how sucky Duc riders are so that we don't derail the Harley Haters thread.
 
I'm a horrible person with a small penis, and I say fuck all you haters. :twofinger
 
I'm not insecure enough to ride a Harley. Maybe someday.:)

Nobody on a bike should be cruising in the #3 lane. Dumb place to ride unless you're getting on or off the freeway. I'm almost always over in the #1 lane where it's the safest, in spite of the higher speed.

And only two types of Harley riders??

I just don't like the riding position that Harleys and other cruisers force you into. Besides, riding a cruiser is too much of a "join the crowd" mentality. Though there are the lone wolf Harley types out there, seems like most of the "Harley crowd" are weekend wannabe riders. Just my humble opinion.

I swear dude, are you really not bendable or something? I think you have complained about every possible riding position of every other bike, except...of coarse...your oh so perfect standard. :rolleyes My bike has never "forced" me into any position. It's a motorcycle, not a barcalounger for Christ sake.:facepalm

As for the OP, you must have really selective vision to not see some of the complete idiots out there riding other bikes. I get that Harley asshats have a slight advantage here in the "attracting attention" category, but really? You almost NEVER see sporties speeding weaving in and out of traffic? Where are you commuting? I am not on the freeways anywhere near 500 miles a week, but it usually only takes me a few to see such asshatery (especially in proximity of a Star Bucks). :nerd

Maybe the reason you don't see the others is because you are too busy focusing on the Harleys. Harley asshats are a special breed I will agree. That is because they are not just assholes on the road...they are assholes who want to be sure that YOU KNOW that they are on the road. Most will lack the skills needed to impress others with a brilliant with a flashy 90 mph wheelie through traffic, or perhaps zig zagging through traffic like they are in the Matrix. And lets face it...they don't make those sweet ass Power Ranger suites in + sizes. This leaves the Harley asshat with few options. First, many will opt for the :Pirate look. But this will garner only so much attention. So next, they will add the age old "throttle blip"(an asshat skill aquirred by more and more sportbike riders I might add):dunno Again this will only go so far in the pursuit of attention. This of coarse leads to every ones favorite...the open pipe...which when used properly in conjunction with the throttle blip, and :Pirate gear, results in the unholy trinity of attention grabbing asshatery.:applause:party:loco

On a side note, as of late, there has been a change of sorts taking place in this crowd. The :Pirate look is getting a little long in the tooth these days. It is generally left to the older asshats these days. The new asshat is sporting a more "contemporary" look. This new look generally is that of the modern day teen/twenty something (over sized pants that go no higher than the lower third of their ass, color coordinated trimmings, over sized white t shirt or sports jersey, a leather vest at least three sizes too big (perhaps planning ahead for the pirate days?), and of coarse...emaculant tennis shoes!). Since this new choice in attire does not in itself attract attention, thus throwing off the trifecta of attention grabbing tools, they have had to add a substitute...the stereo system. Now they can roll all fly and color coordinated without risking the trinity of attention :cool

So the bottom line is...when your ready for a change from the power ranger "crowd", you can jump on the "pirate ship", or you can man up, buy what YOU like, and enjoy it. Don't worry about what others think of the bike you like and ride (especially here. Everyone thinks THEIR bike is the only one that right...just ask ST GUY) and you'll find that you enjoy riding, and life in general a whole lot more. :ride
