An oldie-goldie, a bit dated but still good for a chuckle!


Did you know 95% of all Harleys are still on the road?
The other 5% actually made it home.

Is it true that Harleys are chick magnets?
Yes, but only if the chick has a steel plate in her head.

What has an IQ of 87, eleven teeth, wears a 36DD bra and no panties?
The barmaid everyone calls "Magnet".

What's the cheapest way to get another 50hp from your Harley?
Trade it in on a Suzuki.

Why don't Harley riders sit on their bikes when the sidestands are down?
They're afraid to lean over that far.

What's the difference between a Harley and a Harley owner's home?
The Harley costs more and has fewer wheels.

How do you now you're riding a Harley?
While coming off an exit-ramp you get passed by a Vespa.

Why don't Harley riders wave at sportbike riders?
Because they don't want to drop their tools.

How do you know all the aftermarket parts you bought for your Harley are worth the money?
You finally break into the 15's in the quarter mile.

What do you call a group of Harley Owners with a collective IQ of 120?
Sturgis!

How do Harley engineers tell if a bike is worthy of the Harley name?
They check to make sure the exhaust noise in decibels exceeds the
horsepower rating.

Why don't Harley owners smile?
Once you realize what you got conned into paying $25,000 for, would
YOU be smiling?

What's the difference between a Harley Davidson and a vacuum cleaner?
The location of the dirtbags.

Why do Harleys have fringe?
So you can tell if they're moving.

How is a Harley Davidson like a hound dog?
They both like to ride in the back of pickup trucks.

How do you know your Harley is handling great?
You can almost keep up with the logging trucks when you're riding in the
canyons.

Why couldn't the Harley mechanic repair the doorknob?
Some things just can't be fixed with only a hammer and a rope.

What's the difference between a Harley taken to Daytona on a trailer and one that's being ridden there?
The one on the trailer is going about 30mph faster.

Where can you find the world's largest collection of Harley jokes ?
On the showroom of the Harley mega-store in Milwaukee

You know you're a Harley rider if.....

you're unable to let your bike simply IDLE at a stop light.

you confuse the word "character" with the more accurate term "engineering flaws."

"water cooled" means standing on the side of the road, in the rain, waiting for a wrecker.

And the biggest (or at least the most expensive) Harley joke of all time:
The Harley-Davidson VR-1000 superbike racer.

Harley Davidson: Representing the most efficient way to convert gasoline to noise without the side effect of horsepower.

I have an idea. I have wanted to help out with starting the new board, but had no expertise in computer things. I don't have a ton of free time, but still want to help out.

How about if we start a separate forum area related to Harleys, and I will oversee/moderate that? Won't take much of my time, I imagine.

Darth, I am guessing you don't have and haven't owned a HOG, huh?

I still may consider it, so again, flame away. I will laugh along with everyone else.


I can flame away about all other brands, as I have owned them all at one point or another, except a Triumph.

Did get a chuckle out of the thread, though.

Jeff -
I have owned a Harley and wouldn't mind another one, but it would have to be WAY modified from what's on the sales floor.
I pretty much like all motorcycles, even Harleys & Dnepers! But I reserve the right to poke fun at all of them, even BMW's, Triumphs, MZ's and Nortons...my present rides of choice.
You have to admit though, Harley does give the smart asses of the world lots to H00-HAA about!

Den-
That's great! See what I mean Jeff?

I got a laugh from that, too.

Indeed, let there be equal opportunity flaming!

Ah, yes... Harley-Davison's...

"Harley-Davison - Made of Tin. Ride it out... Push it in."

Cheers!

Oh, Allan.....I can hardly WAIT to start my next Harley thread. It will make the volleys with Lance look like milktoast.

Can't wait. Because while I have been recovering from my shoulder blade fracture and with the snow flying, I have just been studying our beloved MC industry. It is very interesting if you really sit down and study what each company is up to, how their missions are different and how they go about accomplishing their respective missions, what you will learn. Interesting, indeed.

Once I have a chance to clear some time to do some real writing, I hope to start some threads on what each major manufacturer is doing right and wrong. I don't think any of it will surprize you ( you being a current auto dealer and past MC dealer know the inside), but I do know I better put on some flame retarding outwear before opening your posts. Got any left from your Indy days? I will need it.

But flame away, dear freind from the South....in the end, we will be like this..........:058:

Kind of makes you think of Brokeback Mountain.

"You'll never wear out the Indian Scout,
or its brother the Indian Chief.
Ther'e built like rocks
to take hard knocks,
It's the Harleys that cause the grief!"

Actual Indian ad slogan, 1920's (I think Dean-O wrote it)

Bones, that's going to be great!
I have a buddy who's a motorcycle mechanic and he's working on a piece about the medical industry!:icon_lol:

You are relentless! Of course it's a waste of time. With his old eyes Dean probably can't read it anyway!

Darth, he may well have more insight than a lot of physicians these days, that I can assure you.

My comments will be from the perspective of the consumer/enthusiast and what products that reach the market actually do and don't do, and how those who peddle the products facilitate our consumption. And if you look at the growth in the MC market these past few years, there is some consumption going on.

Jeff, that's what I do.

I'm really looking forward to your thoughts and some good discussions.

I think you know I was yankin' your chain with the comment about the mechanic!?

Darth, I know you were yanking my chain, but I MEANT it when I said he might well have better insight than a lot of my colleagues. Truly!

Will start the threads I have been thinking about when I get some uninterupted time (more than 5-10 minutes) to post them. Should be a fun volley of ideas, which is what we are here for in the first place.
