Re: Harley Davidson Dyna ride height

True; dulcet Scottish tones seem to get them a bit moist.

Oh, don't worry about that; once they get to know us better they're just
as bitchy about us.

On UKRM you're just a **** with opinions.

 

Personally, I've always liked the Evolution engine. Can't stand the rest
of the package though. Shit brakes, shit frame, shit handling etc. I
like big twins and I've sometimes toyed with the notion of fitting an
Evo lump into something that would be much more fun to ride.

Isn't that called a "Buell"?

 

Something along the same lines, but much less costly.

I like irony, and use it often. Nice to see it appreciated!

 

Sorry, bud, the passport's in good order. I might visit this summer,
wot?

 

Innocent enough of a mistake.

Well now that depends a lot on who might be riding the Japanese
Aluminium. Can't say I've had too much experience with the necessity
for reassembly, even on the Triumph. The Suzuki, though, is dicey.

No Dunlops left on my machines, so thanks for the worry, but no
thanks.

 

****, but I wish I would have bought that used TT600 when I had the
chance. It was a nice little machine. Black & gold, too, just like
the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

The .38 special is an even more endearing piece of old Americana.

 

Norton, IIRC.

 

George Patton was partial to the Colt .45 revolver. There's an
interesting story some tell about how he missed out on the Pentathalon
gold at the 1912 Olympics.

 

So, about 14.5 minutes longer than you can pleasure your boyfriend
then!

 

It was a Nold Bonneville. Leni Riefenstahl made a film about it:

Triumph of the Will.

 

S'funny I thought you were a Malteser

 

He's too nice. Ex-Navy and all that.

A real nasty Yank would'a said something like:

"You're not even capable enough to sell the whole car, just the seats
and to a shit for brains OEM no less!"

And then pissed inside your precious Samsonite.

 

Silly fool drank the shite ale one night and confused a horny American
sailor boy coming to grips with his sexuality for a woman!

Face it chaps, in order to have the aforementioned pairing take place
you'd have to have set foot on American soil in the Queen's uniform.

Which you have, but I don't think Dudley Moore in drag actually counts
for much.

 

I'm surprised you find anyone who can afford a Harlie within your
company. Was it the lawyer who provided your defence on that
kiddie-porn setup?

Lawyers lie for a living. I wouldn't believe anything they have to
say.

You were doing so well up until that comment. Now we all know you as a
desperate fifteen year old typing away at daddy's computer who merely
jacks off to the tit pages of the cycle mags and Sun cause he's too
afraid of mum stumbling upon a stash of actual porn.

Anyone who has had actual experience with motorbikes can name the
unreliable marques... Harlie, Triumph, BMW.

But the king of all decrepitude is a Ducati. The only time you can put
the words "reliable" and "Italian" in a sentence together is in
reference to Aprilias. Or their national propensty towards cheating on
their wives and/or taxes.

Saying a Ducati is reliable only means you've done too many drugs but
alas, not enough to do us all the favo(u)r and overdose for good.

 

Sure. But a dumb **** on the right side of the pond who can spot
quality materials and paint.

Triumphs are nice in that regard. Too bad they toss a crank every so
often thanks to shoddy QA. Japanese? Plastic cleverly disguised as
such. Italian? Now there's an atrocity built in one's carport with a
bunch of his drunken mates!

OTOH, the V-Rod is a hoot with modern technology to boot. And will
remain a fun ride long after your pathetic flavour of the moment
Japbike has lost it's taste and has been discarded like a worthless
gob of chewing gum.

Your opinion. But certainly not a fact.

And it's not like a grown man calling themselves "Bear" would have
much of a handle on reality anyways.

And I'll bet you couldn't find your penis with a laparoscope. Some
points are like that, too tedious to ultimately bother with.

 

The beauty of Capitalism is that consumers get to vote for what they want
with their dollars, Pounds and Euros, instead of some commisar making the
choice for them.

This works in a level playing field. But it is possible for one
manufacturer to sell his products at a loss so cheaply that ignorant
customers buy them instead of competators models. If he can do that long
enough his competetors will go broke. Then he has a monopoly and can sell
what he wants for whatver price he chooses. That's what happened to England
and almost to other countries. Companies were trying to compete with the
Japanese government.

When it became apparent that Harley-Davidson was going to prosper Jap
manufacturers began dumping bikes here at less than cost and many Americans
snapped up these bargains. So Reagan slapped a tax on them to offset the
Jap subsidies.

So today you can still vote. If you want a big, maintenance free tourer or
cruiser you can still buy a Harley, or even a clone from a Jap company
(Something that didn't exist 20 years ago). Conversely, if you want multi -
overhead cams and valves and over complication you can buy rice. If the
brit government had done the same you could still buy a BSA.

So snivel all you want but I like having a choice.
