Then they get idiotic straight pipes, tell people it's for "safety", and wear no helmet or a half helmet, no safety gear, and ride drunk. Leather vests covered in little pins and patches... odd group of people. Wander the doo-rag aisle at your Harley dealer looking for China-made rags to wear on your heads with little pieces of fabric hanging off the back so it looks like you actually tied a bandanna around your head.... LOL Harley pirates.

*real* motorcycles can corner, brake, and accelerate with brute force. Harleys just look shiny and sound like poop. Harley riders would probably kill themselves trying to duck-walk a real bike out of a pirate bar after drinking American macro swill all night long. Luckily their Harleys have no power and can't corner so they are less likely to hurt themselves due to lack of skill.

edit - Came here looking to learn more about Ti bikes, maybe see a few, and had to suffer Harley pirate logic. Argh!!!!!
First of all, 90% of motorcyclists are friggin idiots. The 17-25 year olds are even more stupid, as evidenced by their alarming motorcycle death rates on the road.

Are Harleys dumb? In some ways I suppose. Are the owners dumb? Some of them. But I think most of them know what they're getting and not getting with a Harley vs. some higher performance motorcycle. High performance motorcycles have a different feel, look, style, etc. than a HD. What's wrong with that? The really dumb thing is the 'loud pipes save lives', the half helmets, etc., the anti-helmet law lobbying, etc.

WhatEVER. That's my opinion. Whoooshface probably thinks I'm a moron/wussy for riding a Honda ST1300. While he is of course, incorrect, he is still my m/c brother.

Just keep the shiny side up boys. That's all we ask.
