That's why they're called snowflakes, any problem arises, They must take a Mental Health Day to recover from the trauma because someone knocked their bicycle over. I'm a old man, I ride a 06 1000lb Goldwing motorcycle with a 143 Lb. wife on the back, her makeup, clothes and 8 pair of shoes 400 miles each way to our weekend cabin, stick to your little scooters and bicycles. We made the country to be the best country in the World, the Snowflake generation doesn't know what bathroom to use.

I have had one motorcycle or another since 1970 but never a Harley. All Japanese bikes, mostly Hondas. The thing I have against Harleys is that they are so damn loud, at least, in this area. We don't have a noise ordinance according to the sheriff so they like to knock the mufflers off their bikes, trying to make as much noise as they can. You can hear them coming from a mile away and you still hear them for two miles after they pass. The riders like to call their Harleys 'hogs'. I refer to the riders as 'inconsiderate pigs'. They try to claim they do it to alert car drivers that they are present but that's B.S. I think they are saying, "Ooo, look at me, I have a Harley-Davidson".

And that pretty much sums it up. Good one.

When we were living in Idaho we rode with a group that was mostly Gold Wings. I think the loudest sound from that group was “whoosh!” Our theme song was “Born to be mild.” LOL. That’s what I loved about the Gold Wing—it was quiet!

I have to say this about Harley’s, though. Just because one rides a Harley doesn’t make him or her a part of a gang or a 1%’er. It takes more than just riding a bike to be an outlaw. Of course, then there are the squids on sportbikes that tear up and down the highways doing wheelies at 100 mph. The zip in and out of traffic and do all sorts of dangerous riding behavior. You can tell a squid, he’s wearing a helmet, tank top, shorts and flip flops or at best, tennis shoes. Oh, and don’t forget the gloves. Now he’s dressed for riding action!! And of course, the cruiser rider wearing his “best” ballistic doo-rag.
My motto was dress for the fall, not for the ride. Here’s how we rode and dressed. Taken at the top of Galena Summit, north of Sun Valley. Real rogues on two wheels, eh? The red one is my wife’s Wing.

I just saw a video of the latest Harley- all electric. It hums. It goes 0-60 in 3.something, and can go over 100 miles before charging.
This is a rare case where Harley is first in something.

Those are great!

My husband and I have 7 motorcycles between the 2 of us. He taught me to ride in the early '80's. Never had a Harley, but Norton (my husband's), Triumph, Kawis and Suzukis. Dual sport and sport-touring.

My other fave was Why don't they wave, an oldie but a goodie. :-)

1- Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don’t Wave Back.

10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty. 9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm. 8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for. 7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off. 6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos. 5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley. 4. Just discovered the fine print in owner’s manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda. 3. Can’t tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else. 2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet. 1. They’re too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.

2- Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing Riders Don’t Wave Back.

10. Wasn’t sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture. 9. Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip. 8. Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm. 7. Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him. 6. The espresso machine just finished. 5. Was actually asleep when other rider waved. 4. Was in a three-way conference call with stockbroker and accessories dealer. 3. Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen. 2. Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system. 1. Couldn’t find the “auto wave back” button on dashboard.

3- Top 10 Reasons Sport bikers Don’t Wave At All.

10. They have not been riding long enough to know they’re supposed to. 9. They’re going too fast to have time enough to register the movement and respond. 8. You weren’t wearing bright enough gear. 7. If they stick their arm out going that fast they’ll rip it out of the socket. 6. They’re too occupied with trying to get rid of their chicken strips. 5. They look way too cool with both hands on the bars or they don’t want to unbalance themselves while standing on the tank. 4. Their skin tight-Kevlar-ballistic-nylon-kangaroo-leather suits prevent any position other than fetal. 3. Raising an arm allows bugs into the armholes of their tank tops. 2. It’s too hard to do one-handed stoppies. 1. They were too busy slipping their flip-flop back on.

4- Top Ten Reasons Why BMW Riders Don’t Wave Back.

10. New Aerostich suit too stiff to raise arm. 9. Removing a hand from the bars is considered “bad form.” 8. Your bike isn’t weird enough looking to justify acknowledgment. 7. Too sore from an 800-mile day on a stock “comfort” seat. 6. Too busy programming the GPS, monitoring radar, listening to ipod, XM, or talking on the cell phone. 5. He’s an Iron Butt rider and you’re not!. 4. Wires from Gerbings is too short. 3. You’re not riding the “right kind” of BMW. 2. You haven’t been properly introduced. 1. Afraid it will be misinterpreted as a friendly gesture

Completely agree. The majority...though not all...ride around with a chip on their shoulder, looking like bad a@@es, annoying others with their noise, looking for a way to show how tough they are. When you can hear someone's Harley from a 1/2 mile away, this should simply be illegal.
That being said, I know responsible Harley owners who roll their eyes at those mentioned above and are embarrassed by that type.

You forgot one.....they don't have the balls to stop at a biker bar

Sounds like you are jealous. I've had a lot of different bikes through the years and most were Harleys. The guys that knocked Harleys who latter got one never looked back and were almost ashamed to omit they had a Jap bike.

Always a good story to be told.
