Local Drunk Mis ID's Bike...News at 11!
« on: June 14, 2008, 09:29:39 PM »
I stopped at my local gas station this morning to check my tires on my 05' HD Fatboy. as I get back on, a person walks up and say "how much rice do you buy?". I was taken aback because it was a HD not a japanese bike. I said none, and told him it was a Harley. "It is" he said, I replied "yep". "Oh...thats must be a special edition..I haven not seen one like that around here." Then he went on about his Harley (AMF) and about how it shakes, then he left.

If you're going to be drunk at 9 in the morning, please properly ID bikes, thats all I ask ;D

Wonder if it's the same guy that offered his help when I was tuning up my Suzuki GT250 2 stroke early one morning.... He asked, "Did you check the intake valve clearances?"  ???

Doesn't Harley usually market all of it's bikes as some sort of "special edition" of something?

A dude I know sold his Harley after I repeatedly and doggedly pointed out how many Japanese parts were on it.

You know, we should really stop knocking Hardleys! They can't help it if they look like camels with a broken back.
