Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.

I rest my case.

So I guess what your "case" is that your parents pastor isn't a very savvy motorcycle mechanic.

Just so we are clear, you never said anything about anything, but your implication was that Harley's are junk.

I rest my case!

Keep your pill, I think you need it!

A wise man once said, and I quote. "If you can't pee in the tall grass, don't run with the big dogs"

Did i not mention something about completely different? If you guys want to pick on someone go find a dork with a "vamped" katana...how does one "vamp" a katana anyway...does one bloodsucking bike have to bite another one?

No one is picking on you, just pushing your buttons. I must say, it would be a lot more fun if you made it a little harder.

I think Harley's are nice. Pretty. They have the mistique about them. I'm not sold on them even for someone my age. I like the reliability of the Jap bikes.

Rick, check out the Zero-G posts. Maybe if you read other parts of the forum you'd have a clue.
