Harley-Davidson

[dorian gray]

anyone here have a HD? why are they so fucking expensive? are they hand made or something? is/was your experience a positive one?
i want one.

 

[Hell Mike]

I want one too.

The price is because the brand = status and nothing else

 

[dorian gray]

oh man. i kinda figured that though. i assume the japanese "standards" have far more value and are more reliable? can you recommend one?
i mean for goats sake, the HD i want cost $13000. i could get a used toyota land cruiser for that.

Exactly it's the harley mystique, all american, largely popularized by Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels. Historically, they've even had a bad rep for things like oil leakage and such. One thing for sure tho, you can always tell a Harley before you see it.

I'm not an owner but I know a couple guys who are.

heh my neighbor has a new one and i saw it being loaded up on a flatbed the other day to be taken back to the shop for repairs

 

[Hell Mike]

Well, there's shitloads of nice models, so specify how big you want it and all of that and we'll see.. But how about maybe an Intruder?

They're nice bikes and relatively affordable I think

 

[dorian gray]

cool bikes. i want something powerful and loud. whatever is the opposite of a sportbike i want it. it needs a security system too.

Unreliable, overpriced, slow POS bikes.

I want one.

 

[dorian gray]

what? HD?

 

[NAD]

Nah, I was talking about a Huffy.

...

You def. Want a security system cause there is a huge black market for HD parts

And they are slow compared to rice burning crotch rockets. But see, Dorian wants to hit up Sturgis, and Jap bikes ...well, a guy's gotta have some pride.

My brother has had 3 Harleys; he has 2 right now. A Harley owner will tell you they're worth every penny. And sure, you are most likely paying a bit of a premium for the name & legacy, but each Harley IS indeed hand-crafted (at least the engine is), and there is no other engine on earth that produces a sound like a Harley engine. In fact, it's one of only 2 sounds on this planet that is actually trademarked.

hahaha "fake internet irritation" that's awesome.

I'm very conflicted by what kind of bike I want actually. While yes, I am a riceburning fagfuck in terms of cars, I don't like that image on bikes. I much prefer the slow, loud, and mean Harley atmosphere. Then again the only reason I'd ever get a bike would be to haul as much ass as humanly possible, and a crotch rocket does just that.

Luckily I live in SoCal and wouldn't get a bike if you paid me, that's instant death out here. If/when I move far away, then we'll see.
