Oh, the shame of it!!

[mentalboy]

Not only have I forgone the pleasure of two wheels for three months out here in Florida but I'm reduced to being ferried around in a blinged up tank that screams a love for Harley's!
What's a bloke to do? (Stickerbombing??)

I had been thinking more along the lines of asking marmalade to make up a load of 'sucks' stickers.

See you've shed a few pounds and grown your hair long.

I'm with Dr Donny, some Honda or maybe Mekong Auto decals would help alleviate the onset of ghey.

When in Rome.....

Go to the drive-thru, fill it with fast food wrappers. forget you know how to drive... or park.... get a machine gun, use the tail gate for target practice... then go shoot out some signs on the interstate; maybe car-jack a tourist or two; do over a convenience store and end the evening paying a lawyer to argue amendments & precedents.

Im in florida at the moment also, back monday seen some right monstrosities of 'cars' the past two weeks. Smart cars and fiat 500s look like little toy lego cars next to the waves of GMC and Chevvy pick up things.

Also noticed everyone seems to ride harleys and not much else. Seen well over 100 in all manner of obscure and ugly shapes and sizes, with the stereotypical long bearded leather chap wearing guy with a sons of anarchy tshirt and tin pot helmet

Merchandised to the max also

Seen a couple of sports bikes, but all have chrome wheels and a stereotypical helmetless, white vested guy popping endless wheelies down the highway riding them No helmets looks like its set to be a thing of the past soon though

Brilliant weather aside the roads here are boring riding wise though, wouldnt dream of trading for our winding UK ones.

We took a Road-King around Hawaii and had a whale of a time doing it. For some reason they work in America. I think, partly, because the image doesn't go along with the bike. There's no try-hard "Harley, fuck yeah!" attitude, you just get on the thing and ride it as it was designed to be ridden (relaxed and slightly in awe of the self-cancelling indicators) and you just fit in.

Would I own one in Blighty? No. Would I ride one again in Merica? Assuredly so.

Yeah seen a couple of those parked up also. Dont think theyre dragster bikes though the ones i saw at least, just longer for the sake of it bigger is better as their ethos seems to be.

Didnt catch anything bike event wise just been on the lookout whilst driving around. Wish id rented a bike for a day in heinsight but the mrs wouldnt have it

Back to shite weather, tiny bending congested roads and high fuel costs monday, cant wait..

Aaah gotcha, haven't heard that before.

I don't think I could last that long in America... just because they all annoy me

I spent six months in Houston TX twenty years ago. The was a stretch of road which was an S bend and not very severe one either. It had really knackered crash barriers all along it because the locals in their shitty metal whales couldent negotiate the bends.

Would be great to have a Triumph Speed Triple out in the states, pull up at the lights by some good-timer Harley riding cockmonkey and just show them what a proper bike looks like. Then fuck off into the distance.
