Harley Bashers and their motives
There are about 8 bike riders here at work. Out of those, 3 of us own Harleys.
I’m the newest of the Harley owners here at work. I’ve been riding all my life and have had everything from a Honda 125 to a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 and a Goldwing GL 1800.
One of the HD riders here has stated that he wants to join the Class Action Law suite against HD because of the bike being too hot. I stated that the Voyager was a lot hotter than my HD. All of this is being stirred up be one guy here that really hates HD. He has a bike and a trike but never rides them. He seem like he's just stirrering the poop to get a reaction. When ever I would ride with HD riders there was always one or 2 guys that would mess with me about my metric ride (mostly when I was on the Wing). Now that I’m on a HD it seems there really is some true animosity toward HD bikes. I’m not sure where it comes from but I’ve (almost) always loved anything on 2 wheels. Remember the guy I mentioned 1 guy here at work that hates HD’s? He thinks that HD rides are sub intelligent, riding an antiquated (EDIT) poorly designed that will break down at any given moment. I tried to mention the numerous recalls the Honda had on the GW (cracked frames ECT.). He interrupted me dismissing what I said as his voice grew louder to over ride my comments. I also tried to explain how hot my Voyager was in comparison to the HD. It was like I was talking to a hammer. Where does the animosity come from to Bash HD’s whit such gusto and what is their true motive?
