Yeah the Harleyaphiles, as I call them, think that Harleys are the only respectable bike. I ride with a couple guys like that. I usually just say f-em. Don't care what they think. My Vulcan is just as solid, smoother ride and cost $10,000.00 less.

I don't worry about'em. A friend of mine has an E-Glide police bike. Carlisle PA Bike Fest was last weekend; guess which bike didn't make the trip due to electrical problems! He also missed Ocean City Bike Fest this spring due to an oil leak. I just show him the t-shirts and pictures of where I've been while his in the shop...but he had to have a Harley.

Re: My V2K is like Rodney Dangerfield

My whole church group has harleys...Guess which one of us can participate in the 4th of july parade without vapor-locking the motor? Thats right, the guy with the radiator and a fan. Everytime they start in on me, I challenge them all to a race. They accept, and I tell them it is a 5 mile race, at rush hour, down the freeway downtown. Everytime, they have something else come up and can't make it

As I say Vulcans Rule Others Drool!! Honestly though I have no issues with the HDs just some of the owners and it is only some of them.

Yeah, most riders don't care what you ride as long as you ride. Some HD guys are over the top though. I'll stick with Vulcans.

Re: My V2K is like Rodney Dangerfield

And That is why I love the VRA I just found out a former Vulcan owner who said it would never happen (buying a Harley) bought one. He said his wife and some people on another Vulcan site convinced him??!!?? WTF!!!!

You need a shirt that says "I EAT PORK WITH MY RICE"

Re: My V2K is like Rodney Dangerfield

In our CMC group, it is usually the Harley and Goldwing owners slugging out the jabs and one liners. The rest of us seem to fly under the radar. It's fun to watch and listen from the sidelines. I know what my bike is capable of and don't need to pretend to be anything else but a guy who enjoys the ride!

Re: My V2K is like Rodney Dangerfield

Too funny, these posts. No respect? I ride a 900, two up, with the Mrs or my 8 year old on board and we wear full face helmets (and riding jackets when Joey is with me) Think we impress anyone?

Okay, next question...Think we give a shit what they think?

I cannot afford a Harley, let alone a V2K. Would I like to have a more expensive, nicer, and bigger bike? Yeah, I guess so. But it is not possible. With two kids and a mortgage, my priorities might be a little different than some other folks.

The other guys are right when they say "F 'em." Those fools who sneer at other bikes are usually the same ones who give motorcyclists a bad name. I ride because I like to ride. Not to get anyones 'respect'. If that is what they need to feel good about themselves, they have some serious self-image issues.

Re: My V2K is like Rodney Dangerfield

I have the same problem being on a Victory. You would think I would catch SOME slack for riding an American made bike from 'THE FAITHFUL' but it's almost the opposite. There's a guy on the vic site I'm a member that has to come on every day and extoll the virtues of his holiest of holy Road King and bash on the Vic's. I just smile; the ABATE group I ride with is mostly HD, and EVERY SINGLE RIDE we've been on we've had to stop and work on at least one of the HD's. The one guy has to hop off his bike at every stop and kick the shit outta his exhaust to keep it from falling off the front head. It's funny watching the reactions of the cars around us, seeing some guy whaling away kicking his bike.
