Harley Squids

[Got Duc]

I went to get coffee yesterday. I stop by the local DD. I am on line and notice 6 Harley people. Three guys and three girls. I am on line and this one guy is just going on and on how fast his Hog is. I sit there listening and listening. He then said that he had his hog up to 175 MPH and that the handling of his "190" rear tire was the reason he could go so fast. He said that you have to get your face right next to the tank and pull back on the bars to keep it on the road. I was going to say something but instead just ordered his coffee and left.

Funny thing when they were out in the lot his bike wouldn't start. I was going to ask him if that was the 165 MPH Hog? I figured it wasn't worth it and left.

Oh yeah gear was a cool tassle jacket, no gloves, cowboy boots and a brain bucket.

OK I am done

Please discuss.

My brother and I refer to these as

[Got Duc]

He actually did have a red bandanna

He actually did have a red bandanna 

He's a road pirate!!!


Not sure if that is a common term, but we have been trying to spread it around for a while.


The only real requirements are:


1. Cruiser
2. Bandana
3. Sunglasses

150 mph 600 - that's totally nuts.  It was a totally believable 140 mph 620.

Great thread lol. I own a Harley but it's a 2007 V-Rod Night Rod. The engine is designed  by porsche and it looks nothing like any other HD out there so I don't associate myself with the pirates you just spoke of. I saw a bike with tassels the other day and just couldn't believe it! Seriously WTF is the point of having that crap? Do they use it to tie all those ponies up to the hitching post to make sure it doesn't run off? Most "real" HD owners are pretty disdainful of the V-Rod since it's liquid cooled anyway and because it actually works like it's supposed to/I don't need to  carry the obligatory tool bag with me. So in the end it all works out great.

I like the V-Rod.  Smoothest Harley I've ever ridden, even smoother than EITHER of my Ducati's.  One of the reasons Harley purists don't like it.  Fun bike, but outta my price range, even used.  That Porsche-assisted motor is excellent ~

+1 on the V-Rod


That is a very nice bike

I took a LONG way around to the record store on saturday through a national park and around some twisties. In all, a 2 mile destination became a 2 hour ride. HOWEVER, my odometer did not get the big increases I had hoped for due to these ROAD PIRATES on their weekend rolls.

I swear to god, new harleys are the same as old mullets. They're the way the senior vp of the marketing division of wigets inc can feel like he's more than a cog in the machine. He used to grow the back long to show he parties. Now he buys a HD limited edition car, then the bike. He's still edgy, but not too edgy. He and mrs. cog get matching harleys and no substantiative gear to match and then nail the 25mph twists at 20 mph.

I went to dinner Saturday night with a friend, who invited two of her friends. The guy comes in wearing a Harley jacket, hat, shirt, and boots. Nice guy, but your typical Harley rider. I couldn't help but ask him if he rides a bike.

Saw a lot of these types out this weekend. Endless lines of blinding chrome and tassles taking up valuable road.
