Opinions are like b-holes, everyone has one.
It is. But the Harley haters need a forum. Any forum.
Sad, but true.
The OT discussion in this thread was not started by Harley haters. Just the opposite in fact.
Let's see.
hal2626 posted "Nothing says I am a financially embarassed real motorcyclist like riding a small,cheap Japanese cruiser......LOL" and I pretty much agreed with that... having working in bike shops on and off, for most of my life.
Then it was "ON".
Mr. Scoot then basically calls me stupid and invites me over to his place to "prove my manhood". I suppose this is OK with everyone else, as I am a current Harley owner. Doesn't matter that I also own three Japanese bikes and a Chinese made scooter.
I got a kick out of the invite, though. As a former Marine, a current black belt, and a Missouri State rifle/pistol champion I had to say that it did make me chuckle, just a fuzz.
Then there was the inference to my financial stability. Yes, all of my stuff is paid for. We are cash buyers. My wife and I both grew up on farms in the Midwest and we inherited those Midwestern values.
And more.
Of course, after THAT, it was all Harley-Davidson's fault.
But I have to say to you Mr. Pete that I meant no disrespect to you in any way, shape or form. You are a great contributor to Bobistheoilguy and I enjoy reading your posts.
I apoligize especially to you, if I have offended you in the least.
I'm still waiting for that apology from Mr. Scoot.
Keep the shiny side up.
