The upsidedown Harley patch came from Willy G Davidson regaining control of HD from AMF. (Yes, the bowling company)

When he did it, he decided to try and sell the biker mystique to the world. He started by demanding that shops that sold Harley Davidsons, ONLY sold Harley Davidsons and shut down the Harley side of a lot of mom and pop shops that made their livings by stapling with Yamaha and Suzuki sales during the “Bowler bike” years. He’s a cunt.

Outoffocus – Motorcycling is mainstream now, accept it. It’s just another case of having to deal with a bunch of idiots invading what you love. Christ, I wish it wasn’t, my insurance rates basically tripled in the last 10 years on my bikes.

@dekay46: If you think that front tire is full - you need your eyes checked. and should probably go check your CAR tires as well.

after going to my first bike race at the ripe old age of 6 months, I finally got to see a round of MotoGP this year at Indy. WOW.

also, Il Dottore, ftw.

@dekay46: Me too. I think it's hysterical that "real" bikers now wear their Harley patch upside down (on the back of their leathers), to protest the yuppiness of Harley now.

@dekay46: Yes, but it used to mean something. Wearing bike apparel w/out being a rider could have been dangerous, at least in NYC in the 70s (especially Brooklyn and Manhattan). Assumptions were made about you and it got you "in" in some places and kept you "out" in others.

@Flappycunt: that tire looks pretty well-inflated to me. @thelotuseater725: "people buy Harley Davidson apparel without ever having even ridden on ANY motorcycle" that's always been true, though. Also, for the record, harley makes lawnmowers, not motorcycles.

I’ve got one of them that moto-bikes.It’s 35 years old, it has a hole in the gas tank and it’s missing the saddle.

And it’s still more awesome than this dude.

@ outofocus:

I sense that your feelers got a little bit hurt.
The d-bags that do the stupid shit may (possibly) be the “small” percentage of all bike riders in your opinion. In MY opinion, all of the crotch-rocket riders I see, are doing this kind of shit and are completely full of themselves. The ones that just ride for the love to ride, and don’t do obnoxious shit, in a vye for attention are fewer and far between.
