Was hoping it'll help me to run in the engine but apparently it's not going to work as expected.

Hey "Strong Eagle" thanks for sharing.

There are 02 things I see ... firstly, Singapore don't practise using this kind of hardwares and secondly, isn't whatever vehicle pulling it has a odometer ?

 

Good stuff anyway ...

erm.... i believe that the ad is a spoof?

 

Read it again and you'll understand, if not there's always PM.

 

Actually, if it ad ain't a spoof, then it'll be alot funnier (and sadder)

Please enlighten me ... I study http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/Daryous/EnglishForDummies.jpg

"Ever wish you could rack up the miles the way REAL riders do?"

 

Many HD owners in the US are known to tow their bikes around the country (to go to major bike events,etc) with bike trailers (like the one shown in the picture).

 

Basically they their will tow their bikes to the bike event, ride around for the few days they are there, then tow it back home. It is widely held that Real riders will scoff at this practice, as one should ride your own bike around and not have to tow it.

 

In fact this is supposed to be a long standing joke that HDs owners tow their bikes around rather than to ride them - i believe the word is "poser". I shall not speculate why it is they do this as, i don't live in America nor do i own a Harley. But it is a joke nonetheless.

 

So the ad is a spoof of the owners who do this. As the bike is on the trailer, the bike odo will not rack up the miles. Hence this "device" that will "trick" the bike's odo into racking up the miles from the trailer's wheels.

 

Like i said, it's probably a spoof, but if it ain't (and this device actually exists) its even sadder that pple will go to such extents to pose.

 

Let me be clear : The joke is that HD owners do this, but it doesn't mean that non-HD owners don't. Thats just who the joke is targeted at.

 

Hope it's clearer now.

Please explain, how so?

 

I believe SE knows full well that its a spoof ad. Just read his previous posts and you'll understand why.

It's a JOKE, son, a JOKE.

 

Steppenwolf has it right. There are a lot of Harley riders in the US that think a 100 mile trip is a "long way" and the bike goes on the trailer. So, this ad is a spoof, a pretend device.

 

There are also lots of Harley riders that do ride their machines.
