Politicians will usually kick off an election campaign with a rousing speech, a meet-and-greet handshaking session or a nice photo opportunity kissing a baby. Unless, of course, they are Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who joined a biker gang and led them on a testosterone-fuelled motorcade. Over-revving the engine as he sat astride a three-wheeled Harley Davidson, the former KGB tough man looked both ludicrous and very much at home in the latest of macho stunts that have punctuated his political career.

Isn’t a Harley an American made bike?
God bless him and Mrs Uncle Ted!
That is exactly right!
I do not expect we will see Mr. Putin riding a vehicle such as this, nor do I expect we would see him in a Smrt car, a Prius, or any other such effeminate crap.
In fact, I’m just going to go ahead and say it. If you are a straight man, then there is a straight man protocol that is followed without fail. The image you project is critically important.
Just look at Janet Napolitano and how he radiates manliness 100 % of the time in every action that he takes.
Wait, maybe that’s not a good example.
No, wait again, it’s a perfect example.
If one THINKS one is a man, then one radiates manliness all the time.
It is quite clear to me as a straight man that our president is, without a doubt, a starting catcher, and most definitely not a pitcher.
You should ponder post #12.
Some of your war buddies may be sitting on our rides.
Sweet bike.
I’m surprised he had a shirt on while riding. Must have been cold...
Nice pipes - er, uh, . . .
Imagine the poor public relations guys who have to think up the next macho photo-op.
“Riding Great White sharks, with, like, laser beams attached to their heads!”
“Nope, done it.”
“Okay, okay, how about wrestling giant mutant glow-in-the-dark alligators?”
“Done that too.”
“Club fighting grizzly bears, in space?”
“We tried that. Couldn’t see his muscles in the space suit.”
“Bungee jumping into an active volcano, from a helicopter?”
“Hmmm... You might have something there. Let me run it up the flagpole, and see if it bounces.”
That sweet thing is “The Reaper” and one of our best selling conversion kits.
Second most popular is my ride, “The Rebel”.
A couple weeks ago, I toasted a guy riding a stock racing V-Rod.
Hubby, who has a 103” came from behind and left us both choking on his dust.
We don’t build “wimp” trikes.
Actually, the Poser-in-chief is riding a man’s bike with the new styling. I thought bikes like that were womens too, but the salesman at my local shop pointed out the mistake. He still looks like a whimp, regardless.
Thank you, Myrddin, for defending the honor of our disabled vets.
FWIW, you can’t imagine how it feels when you help a guy who hasn’t ridden in *years* due to their injuries get ‘back in the wind’, again.
It gives them back their dignity and lust for life.
Priceless.
Putin is not “macho”, he is an overcompensating dictator.
Obama has a messiah complex and wishes he were a dictator.
So, if the choice is between Putin and Obama, I’m voting None of the Above.
When ever they have to keep saying something like how macho he is or how smart someone is(Obama) then it’s all fake ,but Russians eat up the macho crap.Russians think that a bowl of potato soup loaded with fat and salt is very healthy and nutritious
Tough guys don't ride tricycles.
I just sprayed coffee all over my laptop. Thanks for the laugh of the day, man!
Yup.
If folks had looked, they’d see the Moose’s bar is curved and dipped dramatically, a la “girl bike”.
Spikes, leather and studs still wouldn’t help O’Sissy look “macho”, though.
