Ultimate Cruiser - Harley Davidson?

[archenemy]

ever since i watched Terminator 2..i fell in love with harley davidsons..love the "dua lan pa" bike as they call it..

 

cant ride 1 yet..still taking my 2B but at least i started...

 

i once read somewhere that no one tattoos honda logos, or kawasaki logos on them..but boy they are lots of harley logos immortalised on bikers all over the globe...

 

why? because harley davidson is not just a bike..it is a lifestyle. no other bike groups have the same kind of togetherness as harley riders...& you can hear them from 1km away...

 

my ultimate bike...a harley davidson road king ....hope to be able to afford 1 of those 3 years down the road...

Go for the bike that you like, not what others think or say what you should ride, afterall they are not paying for it.....there is no ultimate machine in this world.

 

As long as you dont stereotyped yourself as a particular rider and dont look down on other makes of bikes, you will find you are also a part of a big extended bikers family, bikers are afterall brothers of the wind, of freedom and friendship all over the world ....

I agreed with madness, just go for a bike you like at first sight.

 

The most important things is that; Don't look down on other bikes. You will be surprise what certain bike can do and the others can't.

Being thinking about what would be an ultimate cruiser bike now that so many manufacturers have come out with super good looking cruisers? Is a Harley really the ultimate cruiser bike in every sense ie, the ride, the presence, the experience, or is it just all pure marketing?

People call Harley lawn movers aka noise machine how to be ultimate cruisers?

(think im gonna be flammed for saying this ...lol)

[raphael]

their thundering v-twins is what attracts me the most, but too bad majority are belt driven

 

still prefer chain type

Hahaha....no worry la....no flaming, at least from me. it is all up to personal preferences. Jap cruisers got their beauties and same to HD. Both got my plus point on em. Some jap bikers changed to HD, and same to some HD bikers changed to HD. This show that each got their sweetness and bitters. HD got their customising cool and Jap cruiser got their low tone smoothness..It is all up to one to decide wat they want at that point of time.

Jamez. You are already one BIG up already. Another small step, you are there liao...

 

Arnold rode that Fatboy which maybe.....

According to 2002 insurance company statistics, the FLSTF Fat Boy was the only Harley-Davidson motorcycle to make the 2001 Top-25 Most Frequently Stolen list, ranking an unimpressive 22nd. All the others on the list were Japanese sportbikes! Perhaps the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger rode a Fat Boy in the 1991 movie, Terminator 2, had some influence upon this particular model's "popularity" with bike thieves.

too proud to give respect to other puny bikers but the harley fold will love and embrace you for it.

Other Puny Bikers??

 

Brother, I personally take offence with your statement.

[Intruder]

Hmm.... There are HD riders switch to Jap's bike. It is all up to individuals' on what bike they want. Yes, HD got many good titles, but also they got many not really nice reasons why ppl dun ride em.

 

My point of view is, It's the self respect of one and one respect to other regardless wat bike we ride. Without that respect, we are nobody at all...

 

PS. I m a Harley fan. I respect other makes bike bikers. Friends riding super rocket going too almost 300kmph, friends with cub kia going max 120kmph....n Friends from sportster to the grand daddy Ultra..... I respect em of who they are, not praying to their bike...

Remember, not their ride that make em proud, it is them that earn the pride for themselves.....

Why take offence brother... Its just a post by someone who post for the FIRST time. Relax brother.

 

Brother, have you read story books before?

If yes, how do you differential the good guys & bad guys.

If I am not wrong, the story books doesn't write who is good or who is bad in it.

Its just the action descripted in the book that makes you know he is good or bad... the story continues...

I like the way the foreigners @ stromtrooper view things. Easy going without those hard-up air. Cool n open minded they are.

Again welcome to the harley fold, you may get occasional crap here, but on the road it's the drivers that give you the thumbs up, walkers that say "cool bike" and fellow HDers that wave back. The rest dun get nothing. Ignored lot they are,  left to their own devices. Pity them here.

 

Ride well my friend

Well said... But then sad to say , S'porean, especially the younger ones, uses as little dough as possible to get the faster crouch rocket

I took offence, cause one should know better than make a biggoted statement in place where one is still a guest.

All are the same la. No hard right or hard wrong. No HD is the most shinniest, no jap's bike the fastest. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Dun worry la, no hard feeling over you.

 

Vmax is my drag king n HD's engine is my favourite old but reliable engineering cream.... So how? hahaha..if can, buy both loh...
