So..what is the deal b/w Harley v. Ducati riders?

[Kaveh]

OK I will.  You're handsome for a hairy man but I liked your old hair cut better.

I fell better, thank you.

 

I just got a haircut on Friday, I chopped about 4 inches off   


Your post was a good read

Ha, I found this and wondered what side of the argument the creator would stand on:

It brings a new meaning to "grey area"

Are you from Mendocino? Duh, should have guessed from your handle! 
Dinner - Mendocino Hotel's bar - they had an awesome view of the ocean
Breakfast - Bay View Cafe, a few buildings down from Mendocino Hotel, towards the Chevron gas station

Its hard to go wrong for eats in Mendocino. I like the eggs benny at the Bayview Cafe. The hotel is good. You can order from the Hotel at "Dicks place" the Dive Bar right next door, They also have a 11ty billion dollar view of the ocean to go with PBR and pretzels...

If it's a cruiser, that generally equates to being a little easier to pass--but not all the time!     Every now and then you'll catch a guy who knows how to make one of those things move, and that's some pretty good stuff.   [moto]

Guilty as charged. Where did you see me?!!  [moto]

Two words: HARDLEY ABLESON. DQ and I were riding with another Monster down some SoMa street a while back, and these three Hardleys were trying to keep up with us. They would catch up with us at every red light, but we'd dust them when the light changed.

I'm going on a two day ride with some Harleys and Goldwings. There will even be a couple of trikes. I'll be the lowly Duc. Does this make me a nerd?

[TCK!]

Don't worry the Harley's will become our Italian brethren soon enough:

I ride my S2R with my neighbor, Big Jerry and his completely tricked-out Road King.  People never think we are together and seem to figure there's a fight brewing when we get off our bikes and stand there talking to each other.  Big Jer has been riding HD for 25yrs.  He couldn't care less and we both wave at everyone.  Stereotypes = problem.

My fav line for anyone driving a Harley .... Ducati is Italian for better than a Harley.  Best friend has a dyna in Paris and a piglette in Montreal, though he has to admit there is just something so sexy about a Ducati ... he'll come around one of these days.

I most respect those who can get over the Stereotypes.  That's why it's so much fun to make fun of those who can't.

I think that if a person is a Dick wad, that person will always be a Dick wad.  No matter what bike they ride, n'est-ce pas?

I'm extremely offending and can't believe you'd use such words...

Oh yeah I have no idea what you just said, but I'm pretty sure I should be offended somehow. So I'm going to work on it and get back to exactly how I was offended.

Pretty much sums up how i feel. Truth be told there are more new riders or "bikers" on harleys than on any other bike out there. Alot of them buy into the weekend warrior bad ass mentality. they pay good money to look like bikers and make their bike pretty.  Most of them lower the bikes not caring about the ride and cornering ability, add go fast stuff but never do anything  about improved braking. Well they happen to be idiots.
Now there are alot of harley guys like myself that do care about suspension, brakes and being able to ride the wheels off the bike.People that have a real passion about riding and not hanging out posing . Most of my Harley riding friends have been doing it for well over 20 years and they apreciate my monster. Hell a couple of them have gone out and bought sportier bikes because they want something to tear it up on sometimes but still primarily ride the harley most of the time. Now my long winded rant has a point..........
there are posers on harleys and posers on duc's ,serious riders on ducati's and serious bikers. You just have to look past the stereotypes..... if you can.

Rode from East Bay to Jamestown last Sat. w/ two Harley guys.  One is a friend, the other a new acquaintance, both really cool.  No shortage of good vibes from everyone out last weekend.  When we got up to Jamestown we found out that there was a huge Harley contingent coming in from Modesto, something like 1800 bikes for an MDA ride.....  Needless to say, at that point I wanted to get outta there before the Duc became engulfed in a sea of Hogs.  It was fun riding w/ them and I didn't feel like the type of bike caused anyone to be less stoked w/ being out and riding. 
 
   We did get buzzed by some goon on an apehangered chopper who must've thought it'd be cool to change lanes at 90mph while cutting through our group in the process.        What a bonehead.

LOL.  Not all of us are blessed with your wittiness!
