Nah, -yyz- is a long time poster in bike threads here on FR. He knows his stuff. Most of the Harley bashing on his part is just a reaction to percieved slights against him from bikers. He's actually not a bad sort.

The only real argument over bikes he and I have is over loud pipes. He's against them, and they're music to my soul. My heart sings when I listen to my pipes as I roll down the road, and he'll never get it.

The troublemaker in this thread is Hottieboy who by his own admission deliberately set out to insult Harley-Davidson. Total lack of respect from that kid.

"Total lack of respect from that kid."
And, how old are you?

I told you I did not mean to offend you or anyone else. Although I am very much capable of doing so.
Allot of my buds ride Harleys and we respect each other. If that is there ride then fine. But don't be like blarney and say that they are faster. That is ridiculous.

Thanks, Melas.

Yes, I did get a little hot and bothered and make some injudicious comments. I hereby apologize for those.

I think you already schooled me on the importance of H-D in motorcycle land-speed records. Was that you? I fully acknowledge the superiority of H-D style engines in certain types of motorsport.

BTW, it's not that I hate the sound of loud pipes (although many cruiser "straight" pipes just sound obnoxious to me), I just believe that in the long run making too much noise will hurt all of us.
