New job today. First thing I find out as I show up with my gear on is that one of the guys I work with rides. An older, bigger guy, and of course - it's a Harley.
Goes on to make fun of me for riding a "crotch rocket" (anybody else hate that term?), blah blah blah. He doesn't even wear a helmet. To each his own, I guess.
In the end, I think it'll end up being fun having someone at work to give crap to back and forth, and he even admitted that he looked into sport touring bikes before making his latest purchase.

over the summer i worked with 4 guys 40+ and they all rode harleys. We used to get the parking spots up front by the door and save them for each other. They always left enough room for my bike. They were cool as hell... only wish every rider looked at it as a 2 wheeled machine and not a hog or street bike

I always wanted a harley real bad, until I started riding with you guys. I might get one when my back goes out, though. but as soon as I get my Ducati SS800 I'm stickin with sport for a loooong time. And I do hate "crotch rocket".

i dont mind the term crotch rocket. and ill probably have a cruiser some day. maybe a harley. i dont know. i really love all bikes and cars. except scooters and ricers(not nicely done up imports, the 500 dollar cars with the 1000 dollar fart can exhaust on it).

If I ever have a cruiser it will definitely be one that I build from the frame up. Not a big fan of production bikes in the cruiser department. Now custom cruisers are a whole other level.

try living with one of thoose Harley owners...and convincing him that you should get a sport bike. thats a real fun battle:banghead
But i took great pleasure when we rode together over the summer in blowing past him after he gunned it off a light and i wasn't expecting it.:D
Even though most harley owners don't like sport bikers i still want a Harley when i get older just becuase it's more comfortable for long trips. They also sound good with a nice exhaust on them.

Meh, not a fan of cruisers themselves. The riders on the other hand... seems like some are cool people and will wave and look at all riders as 2 wheel people... and then there are the "Badasses" who feel it's necessary to be jerks to anyone not riding a $40k 120Decibel 90mph top speed monster...
And I don't mind the term crotch rocket...

I used to play pranks on all of the Harley guys at MMI. All you have to do is get a few nuts and bolts and put them under their bike with a little bit of oil. They will flip out and start looking over there complete bike, good times.
Another fun thing is to walk up to a harley rider and say "you gotta 120 CI motor? Well i have a 36 CI motor, wanna race for $100."
Or you can just rev your motor at a harley to get him to race, let him go until he hits 3rd gear then come blasting by his ass on one wheel.
If you cant tell i HATE harley's, they are slow, they leak oil, you have to use a gallon of lock-tite every weekend, and they are running off of 1920's technology. Get rid of the damn pud-rods, o wait i mean push rods.
