|  when i first started riding, very few harley davidsons gave me any respect, they expected me to boe to them no matter what and not to do any rookie mistakes . i apologize about the last message i was in a rush and wanted to prove my point, its all said and done but hey, better late then never. now as for the quick spelling, i rarely quick spell when writing but i do abbreviate, but hey i am a college student my bad. i meant my apology haha

 If you are moved to answer a post, it's just common courtesy to put a little thought into what you write, maybe reread your post before you submit it. This isn't grade school. Your Post makes no sense at all. It sounds like you are saying the machine it self doesn't give you any respect, and that's just dumb. Does your bike give me any respect?  If you are saying the riders of Harley's don't give you any respect, my first question would be. Do you talk the same way you type?  Really dude, go back and read your post, if you put something down in writing that sounds that dumb, than what does it sound like when you talk? You said. "they expected me to already think i am better than them or something" What the heck does that mean? Keep in mind, the question here isn't what's wrong with Harley riders, the question is, what's wrong with Harley's.

| If the weather was nicer, I'd just pull up along side him on my Road King, and snub him, but it's to cold for that, so this will have to do.

| and some people can't get any respect.... Even from machinery. I didn't know they were capable of being very disrespectful.

Well if I spend the $5,000 in chrome as Rick suggests I'll bet my new Electra Glide would respect me in the morning!!

| well played, very well played. Could you keep the budget as low as 5 k? Wouldn't that slide into 8 k before you know it? Because after you buy the stuff you get, you're going to change your mind on what you have.

| If Harleys are so Bad, then why do the cruisers try to make their bikes look like Harleys

| actually -- the new Harleys run just as good as the metrics of similar build I know I know the cost as compared to a metric comparing an Ultra to a Goldwing - not that much difference some of the others -- yeah several thousands difference but by the time you deck out the others to look like a Harley -- hardly any differnce at all
