The Voyager mostly they ask now what it is and don't guess. Edited June 26, 2014 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah Harleys suck. My Softail is always getting bugs stuck on the windshield and contantly needs gas after I ride over 150 miles. Not only that, but the engine heats up every time I use it and makes clicking noises for 45 minutes after, and sometimes when I pull out there's a squealing sound coming from the rear tire - on the highway it gets very windy. The problems never end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm going to start a thread about "Bikes Hoblick hasn't owned (yet)." So far the only rides I can think of that I'm surprised Ryan hasn't owned at some point (and I may be wrong) are: - SV650- Concourse- Goldwing I'm poking fun, and I don't share Ryan's enthusiasm for upgrading bikes, but I think his posts above are pretty awesome. He's owned everything, and ridden them all enough that his opinion can't be invalidated. Regardless of what he's on, he expects it to live up to the performance it promises. Clearly those standards are different for a full bagger and a sport bike, and that's okay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm going to start a thread about "Bikes Hoblick hasn't owned (yet)." So far the only rides I can think of that I'm surprised Ryan hasn't owned at some point (and I may be wrong) are: - SV650 And he kind of already has that one in the form of a Gen-2 V-Strom 650. The gen-1 "wee-strom" used a SV650 engine detuned for more torque down low, and the gen-2 adopted a refined Gladius engine with the same detuning treatment. I know it's a little stretch, but it does speak to Hoblick's upgrade afliction ;-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems never end.You jest about the engine heat, but that is a legitimate bitch among many hd riders. The things you mentioned are pretty standard among all bikes, Harleys have a lack of horsepower, an excessive amount of weight, as well as a severely limited lean angle. This makes for lethargic acceleration, embarrassingly slow corner speed, and a top speed equivalent to that of the speed of smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tonik Posted June 27, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 If the intent here is to drive off people, you folks are doing a great job of it. HD is a great guy and you all seem to be going out of your way to piss him off. Seriously, 24 pages of telling him that harleys suck and people that ride harleys suck is a bit much even by OR standards. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 i just want to be clear that my post was meant to say Zuma is better than all bikes being discussed. Not just Harleys. Zumas are definitely better than harleys though, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Harley's are ok as long as nobody makes me ride one. Oh, I almost forgot, Harley tried that in the 1980s, but only forced me onto a 750 that was short stroked by Yamaha to 700cc to avoid the 49% tariff.

HeavyDuty Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I’m confused what is everyone trying to tell me Sport bikes are faster than Harleys you guys are too easy I have owned a KZ1000 since 76 So I have a little bit of knowledge of what a sport bike will do You guys are just suckers for pot stirring and it is a fun way to entertain myself when I can’t ride I bet not a one of you have the balls to go to a forum like HDForums and talk the same kind of BS I do here and stay for two years. I will say this everyone single one of you that I have met in person have been OUTSTANDING people and I would ride with you anytime It will take a lot more than a little bit of ragging on my bike to scare me away. But Jim is right 24 pages :lol: PS I really could less what anyone rides everyone on 2 wheels put their ass on the line everyday doing what they love and that's all that matters. It is a shame that so many of you are Harley haters your missing out on meeting a lot of great people out there by attacking everyone that post to this forum I took a chance going on the Rushmore run knowing how things are on this board and only meeting TONIK 1 time. I’m glad I did and would do it again anytime. Edited June 27, 2014 by HeavyDuty 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I would eventually like to add a V-rod to the collection, so see I don't hate all Harleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kritz Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Most Harley guys hate V-rods with a passion. That's kind of like another reason to buy one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
