Spyders don't shrink!

[Jheck]

Got called to work today, actually I'm retired but still go in a couple of times a week if called. Extra toy money etc, etc., anyways our company Harley guy, Jim, ( you know the type, leather vest, patches, 1%, 69, doo-rag, actually he's a real nice guy) Jim says to me " what are you crazy riding your bike today! Haven't you seen the forecasts! It going to rain this afternoon!". To which I calmly replied, " Spyders don't shrink :dontknow: . He said what-a mean? I said " the reason you Harley guys don't ride in the rain is because your bikes shrink. You leave work in the rain on a Road King, by the time you get home it's a Sportster"!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:. He gave me that half smile as if to say YA GOT ME.:thumbup: Sometimes I can come up with a good one.:roflblack:

:shocked: We're picking on Harleys again... :shocked:

Oh well... every Marksman; needs a target! :thumbup:

Harleys account for half of the bikes sold in US, yet I doubt they account for 25% of the bikes I actually see on the road.

I see a lot of Harleys. And living in the Hill Country of Texas we get a lot of bikes. Harley makes a good product and they know how to market their product.

You can find jerks and idiots riding every brand of MC there is and you can also find some really great people riding those same brands.

Besides, competition among the brands is what brings new innovation and price incentives.

I guess Harley makes a good bike now. I've owned 3 of them in my motorcycle career, don't what to own another. But that's my choice.
Jim is definitely in the great poeple column, just a little chiding and ribbing amoungst work mates.
Besides- we get enough DESS, GPS, VSS, ASS, sorry, FIRES, and my Spyder farted side ways, posts, that a little humor is good.
Harley's are fun........ To pick on. Just does'nt sound right to pick on, say Ducati.

Harley started building a good bike in 1984. It had the the 80 ci EVO (actually 82 ci) engine. I had the last year of the solid mount engine. It had less vibration than my Kaw KZ900. Also I never had any body parts fall off of it. Never had to have the water pump replaced on it. Never had to worry about alignment. The OEM tires weren't Kendas. In over ten years "Ol' Purp" was never in the shop. I can't say that about "27". I loved that bike. That being said, I love my Spyder. But if I still had my my knees and hips, I would still have my Harley. Bottom line, I don't bad mouth or judge whatever someone chooses to ride. We are all out enjoying the ride.

I want to apologize to Jheck for jumping on his thread about Harleys. Whatever we ride, we have got to be together or someday we will not be riding. The other day I met the former manager of the USA Honda Goldwing plant. That is a pretty big pedestal. Bottomline is every motorcycle has its good points and bad points. We ride because we love to ride.
