Topic: Staring into the dark before dawn...

I direct traffic for the Asheville Ride For Kids. Got to thinking this morning; no matter what you think about Harleys, they're always the biggest presence at charity rides, the Toy Run at Christmas, etc.

That's because these days, you pretty much have to be rich to ride a HD 

Seriously, Harley riders do tend to organize themselves moreso than others, but they're organized around an entire brand, whereas we organize around a tiny subset of a brand, being SOHC4 Honda's.  Imagine if all Honda riders felt the same affiliation to each other as Harley riders do.  We'd wipe out disease and poverty in one weekend!

Harley riders all so have one more thing. Most Harley riders think/know that they are hated(?) by the rest of the motorcyle community.

There has always been the jap Vs. harley thing. and Now they have all the "real" custom choppers sprouting up...

What is a weekend biker to do?....band together?

I like Lesbians. I can understand why women like women, but I can't for the life of me understand why women like men? I also like Harleys, and I don't know why other jap bike riders don't like them? They're strong, well built, and made by Americans, so what's not to like? If I lived in the US, I'd have a shed full of them! Cheers, Terry.

Great attempt at being civil Uncle Ernie. Education needs to be wanted to be appreciated.

harley riders have been supporting these types of things for years.

seaweed... um, i mean seaweb     i just looked at your touring the coastline thread and it made me think... what else could i have done with the 5 dollars I just spent on honda polish not more than an hour ago.  then again, if i were at a rally for kids with disabilities i wouldnt mind spending another 5 bucks (or more) to help as much as i could.  but, i think i may know why we tend to see more harleys at the "help the kids" type of rides... 1- there are obviously more harley riders on the road 2- harley riders tend to be of a different generation (older) therefore more willing/able to help... money wise but also time wise.  when i retire (ha ha funny... im still in college at 29 so what does that make me at retirement 95?) i hope to spend much of my time riding for my own enjoyment but also in support of many fundraisers and charities.  not that i will not support charity at any age... but, it will be easier to find the time when i have nothing else to do.

hey uncie... what does this post have to do with staring into the dark b4 dawn?

My earlier post was just to make some of the "haters" out there ponder their time spent ranting at  anyone different from themselves.

If you stand by when a stranger is being downtrodden, who will come to your defense when its your turn?

Oh, just standing in the middle of a deserted street waiting for something to happen, it's like staring at a huge dim sum tray and beginning to focus on the individual items. The Harley thing was sort of a fried pork bun.

Ernie,
ducking in preperation for the shot that is sure to fly across my bow...
