Ruth asks…
Why do people keep saying that Harley Davidson motorcycles are not good?
I have asked a couple questions on which motorcyles I should get
and people keep saying that harleys are bad machines.
Why are they so bad?
I mean before I even researched motorcycles I thought Harleys were supposed to be the best?

People that bad mouth Harleys, for the most part, don’t really know all the facts. Thirty years ago when AMF ran Harley they were not a good bike. They had lots of problems back then. Those memories are what some continue today to equate with Harleys. The Harleys of today are nothing like that. Sure there may be an exception, after all every company makes a lemon once in a while. For the most part, they are solid dependable bikes and, in my opinion, worth every nickel. I rode Jap bikes for close to 30 years, always wanting a Harley but never being able to afford one. Finally I just did it and got a 2002 Dyna Super Glide. It doesn’t drip oil, use oil, break down or any of those things some people would like you to believe. Nothing has ever vibrated loose or fallen off. They’re comfortable, sound great, look great and there is every kind of accessory available for them to make it your one of a kind bike. The only thing I do to my bike is the standard maintenance, like changing fluids at regular intervals. It’s the best bike I’ve ever owned. From now on I plan to always have at least one Harley in my garage. If you’re looking at getting a bike, do yourself a favor, don’t write off a Harley.

What makes people so jealous of Harley-Davidson motorcycles?
Every time I see people bashing Harleys or their owners, I see the green demon of jealousy. ALL the import manufacturers imitate Harley, which is another sign of jealousy. While some of the top-of-the-line sportbikes are faster, the V-ROD beats all foreign cruisers and even many sportbikes. The only cruiser faster than the V-ROD is the Triumph Rocket.
Soooo….Bash away, Harley bashers. All I see is a bunch of whining jealous fools.
Wize Guy answers:
I’m not jealous of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I’m jealous of their owners, for having the wisdom and foresight to buy one and enjoy life in a way I’ve only been able to dream about. I could buy a triked one now, since I lost one of my legs in an on-the-job accident, and it could have a reverse gear too. I have so many other things I need though that I don’t think I’ll be able to afford one, but I never have been a Harley basher, or a “whining jealous fool” over Harleys and Harley owners. I always praise their wisdom for making that pucrhase, and several times have gone up to them at grocery store parking lots or other parking lots and have told them how great their bike is and praise them for living “the good life”. Maybe one day, for me, but, I just don’t know when, and if. Enjoy your bike. If it’s a Harley, they don’t come any better, no matter what their claims. God Bless you.

What is this bands name? I believe they are Japanese and obsessed with Harley Davidson motorcycles?
They could just be of any Asian country, but I saw their music video Youtube years ago, it was very cheesy and involved many motorcycles, someone could make my day if they know this, thanks!
Donald asks…
why are harley davidson motorcycles so annoying?
You can’t have a decent conversation without being rudely interupted by that loud annoying noise of that stupid motor. Why is that if a car has a hole in the muffler and it gets pulled over and ticketed for being loud, but a harley‘s motor is louder than s*** and that is ok?
Wize Guy answers:
It’s kind of a poseur’s bike, really. They are really substandard bikes for what you pay—if you doubt it, just watch the rear view mirrors on one when it’s idling at a stoplight. You think that vibration speaks to high tech and quality?
The Harley slogan is: “If it sticks out, chrome it, and if it breaks, make it heavier”.
I’m amazed anyone pays those prices for them. They are very mediocre machines. The noise makes up for the lack of everything else I guess.
Some years ago we had some obnoxious guy with a small penis problem who would wake up the neighborhood every night at 2 AM. We finally shoved a potato up each exhaust pipe with a broom handle, and we didn’t hear that bike for months til he figured out what happened.
Donna asks…
Are people able to lease harley-davidson motorcycles for two years?
I don’t want to keep a harley if I get one and I don’t feel like selling it when I’m done with it. I want to buy a harley if I move to Vegas this summer. I don’t want to take it with me back to Detroit because the weather is such a bitch!! All I see are financing options on the harley-davidson website?
Wize Guy answers:
I am not aware of any motorcycle manufacturer other than BMW that offers a lease program.
