Look on Harleys riders face
Let me ask a question about harley riders. Why do almost all of them have the same sorta stupid look on their faces when they are ridin their scooters? Im serious. Check them out and see for yourself.........Is it some kind of spirit that has taken over their faces or what?

When you make that face, the muscles in the face tighten up, so the bugs and rocks don't hurt as much.
or maybe cause they're always thinking; "Damn, I wish I could wear a fullface helmet."
Seriously though, I do not know.

Well since I ride one myself, let me take a stab at the cause. There are a few to choose from.
1. Attitude - look at me $18,000 and 18 miles and I'm a biker.
2. Wrong style bike - I bought this hard tail chopper because it looked good on tv. If I ride over a dime it hurts my back.
3. Noise - Darn this thing is so loud I can't hear anything for an hour after I get off it.
4. Money - I should have bought a honda for half the cost.
5. Mechanical - (my problem) I hope I get where I'm going before I break down.
6. Leaks - (also my problem) this thing leaks oil so bad, it is covering my bike, me, and the car behind me.
No offense to my harley brothers and sisters. I say this all in fun. I really don't know why people make faces. Maybe they are just ugly naturally?

7. I have to clench my jaw tight to hold all my fillings in while this noisy, oil-burning, '30's-technology rattletrap shakes me half to death.

I recall from my motorcycle days (long gone) that I enjoyed what I was doing and just assumed that my countenance reflected that..... and that I gave little thought to the opinions of those that confined themselves to rolling steel cages.

Since I ride a Goldwing, I think they are wishing they could ride along drinking a cup of coffee,listen to the ipod,smoke a cigarette, all while having your feet up, while not worrying what part is going to get rattled off next

TWO WORDS:
Second one is YOU. The first is not acceptable on a family site.
If you don't understand what a Harley means, I wonder why you drive a FORD in the first place...
(He says, DISGUSTEDLY)
I am walking away from this thread before I tear into all of you in a way that is totally opposite everything you have ever thought of me.
Yes I am old school. I am also proud of it. I learned from that...

Go ride it then -
Mine will be home grown.
And I will know it from top to bottom.
Kripes - I'm doing it....
I said I was not going to get into this, and here I went.
Enough.
