Excellent point. I could have bought a Harley Davidson
Sprint - a bigger piece of crap has never been made.

Ok big mouth, tell us what American bike he could have bought in 1975
for that kind of money.

Tell us which American bike he could have bought that weighs less than
2 tons.

Tell us which American bike he could have bought in '75 that had the
same performance as his S380.

Yeah - why buy American? Everybody should be asking themselves that
question. Especially those claiming to be patriots.


Besides, you Harley Davidson people are so stupid you don't even
realize more than half the part on your so-called American bike
are made in Japan, China, Taiwan, Mexico etc. There is no
such thing as an American motorcycle anymore.


I know that very well. However, I also know that the profits from
Harley stay here and go back into our own economy, while the profits
from your Suzuki went to Japan. All that did was make our balance of
trade worse. Meanwhile the Japs wouldn't let American farmers sell
rice in their country. **** you and all the anti-American traitors
just like you!

I bet John Wayne and Ronald Reagan never rode a Suzuki!

Have yourself another cup of rice, traitor!

motorcycle and how he thinks it can whip any American motorcycle.

What a fine way to observe PEARL HARBOR DAY.

As bad as the Harleys are, I stopped in at the (West Chester) Indian Shop to
look over the new models. 2 of them were dripping oil on the showroom floor!
I did like the belt drives though.

That's a myth made up by riceburner fans. Harley-Davidson uses mostly
American parts. Any parts made outside America have to be approved by
the executive board. The only Japanese parts on mine are the tires.

You're like a monkey that just can't let go of the nuts...

My dad says the best way to catch a monkey is tie a narrow necked flask to a
stump... put fruit inside.... the monkey reaches in, grabs the bait and
refuses to let go. He can't get his hand out without releasing the bait. He
won't let go of the bait because he's a victim of his own instincts. You
just walk up and keep clubbing him till he's dead.

Then again he also told me the best way to kill Baboons is to put out a
barrel of beer. Wait a few hours and kill every drunken Baboon you see....


Do they taste like chicken?

XR-750 IIRC (The factory flat trackers) or any of their roadracers. Didn't
see many in showrooms but they were for sale.

So much for your theory that Harleys are made in the USA . . .

I still have a 1990 FLHTC I bought new. It'd been 92,000 miles when it
cracked a valve guide in 110 deg heat in NV but it went on to LA then back
to VA where the Dealer replaced the heads under warranty. Next year the
stator died in Four Corners but since I could turn the headlight off I rode
it to Flagstaff, where it was fixed that morning, and when I got back to VA
the dealer replaced both engine cases - including all the lower end
bearings - free, under warranty. It now has about 200,000 miles on it. I
replaced the belt and sprockets at 135,000, rear tyres every 12,000, fronts
half as often, and changed oil and filters and used a gallon of gas every 40
miles.Valve adjustments? $400/10,000mi on rice but never needed on H-Ds.

By contrast a buddy bought a new RZ-350 just like mine but never got to ride
it cuz it seized and the dealer kept it over a year waiting for pistons. Had
plenty of oversizes but no stockers and Yamahahaha said no rebore - had to
fix it right no matter how long that took!! He sold it 'as is' and took a
bath. Tell him how wunnerful your ricer is but watch out, he mastered in
both rifle and pistol.

Similarly, my new R1100RT BM ran like crap so I blew $700 (IIRC) on a major
service that didn't help. Wrench said it needed a minor adjustment (0=0 for
y'all BMrs) but it'd void my warranty. Happened to about 1 in 10 bike but
BMW NA's position was that I had the finest bike in the world and should be
happy even if it didn't run. Ditto the chrome coming off my R1100C and the
goofy wear that ruins $125+ front tyres every 4-5000 miles and ... and ....

Did I mention that I can still get parts for most any H-D and Brit, even
'new' Amal carbs, but not brake parts for an original CB750 Honda ... or
that many BMW dealers don't work on "vintage" (R100) BMWs from " back in the
80s" anymore?

That's why my 1990 H-D still has a home while others have come and gone. It
shares a garage with my Oilfield and wife's bikes: a 112 HP Kaw 600, a '79
Bunnyville, a 1200 Sporty, a BSA 250 that Dick Mann built for 'Smiley'
Cameron and he gave her, and a mid-60s F3 bike (Yammy 125 in Van Tech). She
rarely lets me ride them cuz I totaled her new Triumph 1200 last year. I had
to sell my 1200 Kaw and ST-2 Duc cuz I my neck can't hack the position since
that crash (No! Not old age! I'm in denial). Lost $1000s on each of them but
my old hog is till worth the same $$$ I paid for it back in '89. Remind me
to ride it down to the boat Saturday ....

BTW the reason older H-Ds leaked was that their Automatic Chain Oilers were
maladjusted but y'all knowed that right?
