I tried, I really did

to keep my cynicism, sarcasm and judgementalism in check when I was dragged
to the local Harley dealership by my SO [1].

It lasted approximately 5 minutes until I heard the salesman talking to a
atypical chap (in England shirt) about how the V-Rod would 'leave a
Fireblade in the dust from the lights, then keep on pulling away all the way
up to 150mph - yours sir, for £9 000'.

I did get a funny look when I snorted slightly and looked the other way - I
feel they may have suspected I wasn't there to buy.

Other 'sights' - a Buell going rusty _in the showroom_ - a 2nd hand Honda
Deauville described as "a sporty bike" and various 'safety' jackets, all
made in China, of leather I could practically see through all priced at
£400+

Also, and maybe this is just me, but WTF do people think little leather
vests are the height of fashion? With tassles?!

[1] her dad has one - now her mum and dad want to get all the gear too -
AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Yebbut look at all the Shite leathers that the power rangers are wearing.
I even saw a lady in Homebase today with a really 'orrible 'fireblade'
jacket FFS.

 

Hmm, the one in M'Head?

Ask Judge ;-)

 

I'd rather not - whatever happened to him anyway?

 

Dunno. Last I heard he was pulled for filtering like a **** on the M4.

 

dwb says...

He's a ****.

HTH

 

I remember when he won the draw for the free ride on one of the French
Runs - and didn't stay after the first night!

 

Yeah but that doesn't make him unique round here

 

dwb says...

Probably not, but he's in a class of his own.

 

death - with a bit of luck.

 

Paul Corfield says...

Nicely put.

 

Out of interest, what did he do to make you say that?

 

Being extremely insulting to me *every* time I've ever met him. Even
other ukrmers have asked him why he was so rude to me - he seemed to
think it was some sort of "joke".

I don't consider I have ever done anything to him to warrant his
treatment of me. If I had then I'd expect some sort of (justified)
negative response.

I have no time for the man.

 

That's a little harsh, isn't it?

That is a put down if ever I've heard one! Did you turn your head up and
to the side immediately afterwards for full effect?

Blimey, he must have been a bit of rotter if you're saying that.

 

If you're bandying death threats around, I haven't had one for *ages*.

(OK, so it's not a threat as such, but these days I'll settle for "I
wish you'd die....")

 

The V-Rod was one of the most disappointing bikes I've ever ridden. The
engine was underwhelming and the handling felt dangerous.

It might be quicker than a Blade in a 30mph top-gear roll-on but that's
about it.

The Dyna Sport 1450 is a much better bike from the perspective of the
engine, the ride and the handling.

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel says...

Again, nicely put. I am totally and 100% with Paul on this one.
