yes there are. but its not cool to bash anything OTHER than HD. according to the gstwin gods. to be frank, i had more problems out of my gs versus my sportster. ( before and after the supercharger add-on) my sportie looked like this:
(http://images.traderonline.com/img/5/dealer/7695082/104090457_1thumb_550x410.jpg)the super went /was driven by hte cam gearing underthis cover. wasnt difficult at all. also with it under warranty. this being a BIG NO NO, could be removed in 45 minutes and restored to stock. my gs gave me more problems than hte sportie did. only problem sportie had was a malfuncioning bank angle switch. its a wonder what a paperclip can do to solve that

WTF???? We all know this thread is for us to bash all those idiotic rednecks and their underpowered uninspir :cookoo:ed pieces of crap they ride. Get with the show.
there are idiots on gs' too hell theres idiots on motorised bicycles. had one one mine. caught up with him. dismounted him and i rode back. left him to walk. he was in and out of traffic and wheelies etc. a total squid from the word go
Before this gets out of control. I'm being sarcastic. While Harley's don't appeal to me. I couldn't let this lovely video go without some GStwin love.
Dude grow up, you're so 90's ...
Of late there are Idiots riding stretched and slammed sport bikes more than Harley's.
Even later than that there are Idiots who take a perfectly good bike ... remove 80% of the useful and failure proof parts it has, paint it black put ape hangers on it and call it a chopper/bobber and try to sell it for 3 X its street value ...
Yes its one of those questions like "how many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb" type questions ... Its like 1 feminist screws in the light bulb, then one to say the bulb has violated the socket, and 10 to wish she was the bulb and 20 to wish she was the socket and 30 to think about what sorta vibrator can be run out of that socket ... and when you're done with all that ... no one knew the bulb was changed in the first place ...
Yea far fetched ... but in this metaphor, the feminist screwing in the light bulb is the harley ... and the rest are the other Idiots ... there is so much noise that no one can see the bright new light bulb ...
Cool.
Buddha.
Wow.. so to keep those that get butt-sore about there harleys from weeping like children.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxJviYxNrnQ&feature=related
I do realize PEOPLE are idiots and it has little to do with their perferred method of transportaion (except those that think a 96 Civic is a F1 car, those kids ARE idiots.)

...my gs gave me more problems than the sportie did. only problem sportie had was a malfunctioning bank angle switch.
Based on my current stable I feel qualified to say. . .
The Harley: Very few problems.
The GS500: Absolutely no problems.
The DL1000: An ongoing challenge of all my mechanical skills, my bank account, and courage.
(courage that if I ride 150 miles out, I can make it 150 miles back without calling for a trailer).
The point; my GS is so reliable it's almost boring.
BTW: Nice sportie, Yama.
(http://images.traderonline.com/img/5/dealer/7695082/104090457_1thumb_550x410.jpg)
The EDIT: True, people with poor riding skills ride all brands of motorcycles, but I must admit, it is most enjoyable to see Harley riders dump their bike more so than any other brand of biker.
-Ej-
that bike was a representation of mine. same color/badging etc. IDENTICAL to the one i had. only prob i had was that GODforsaken bank angle switch. a quick disable took care of that. ( amazing what a paperclip can do lol. i did love my gs' as well. really have no beef with any boke or its rider. if theyre on two wheels, hey its good to me

Yup, understood & agreed. (http://smileyjungle.com/smilies/agreement3.gif)
it let go twice. @ work mind you. first tiem hd came and got it. brought me a loaner. second time it let go, i had figured out how to jump it, ( bypassing the shutoff) got it home, then called raising hell
Anyone that says Harley's are the best bikes in the world is obviously a person who wasn't gifted with a functioning brain. They are pure shaZam! and a scourge on our planet that needs to be eradicated

Fuk-in-ay mate, seems like you have been abused by a Harley dealer as a child. >:(
Lots of Harleys in my family, Road King, Fat Boy, Soprtie, etc...
But I myself do prefer a Jap bike for too many reasons to list here.
One negative issue for me is that Harleys need a paved road at all times and I always seem to end up in the gravel/dirt at some point in my travels.
My XL1200C has forward controls and a rather excessive rake which looks cool but renders the bike useless in the soft stuff.
So yeah, with a DL1000 a GS500 (and a GSX1250 in my immediate future), my Harley just sits while the Suzuki's run & run & run.
Just sayin'

I'll trade it straight away for another Beemer
No one in my family has a Harley. Both uncles have Indians, REAL Indians....god i would love one! Dad has a 1500 Vaulcan, Cuz has....well my cuz goes through so many bikes its hard to keep up. I think hes on a GSXR750 right now.
But would never buy a Harley, Over priced and the dealers are shaZam!. they are as bad a used car sales men.
wish indian was still made. i know they went out of business a while back. then came back under new ownership. one thing about HD i did love was that i could have changed my 883c to a 1340 just by changing cylinders and pistons. ( and heads too if i wanted to do it right. but it would run on the 883 heads)
yeah, they came back. Not sure who but all i have herd is that they took the Indian name and slapped it on some POS and charged out the ass. No wait, that sounds like HD. LOL. But really, the "new" indians are shaZam!

using hd engines or hd style engines. what i do like about them, is if i have to replace the upper end, or the transmission, dont have to remove the engine. it can be done on the bike. the trans has to come out, and the derby cover etc. but the only time one has to split the cases is to overhaul the lower end
Yeah, Slips has Beemer Envy. He has become a Beemer Snob. All other bikes are now sh!t cause they aren't BMWs and blah blah blah. Oh, did I mention, his Beemer has heated grips. So he can warm his hands before he plays with himself :icon_rolleyes:
hmmm .. Beemer psychology eh! ... pretty soon he shall dine only on the finest Venison roast stuffed with Swans eggs, drink only the purest Arctic glacier water ... wear only the finest silk onesies ... and 'massage' himself with only the rarest rainforest herbal salves....
doesn't matter how much any Beem-head denies it.. once they have crossed to the DARK SIDE .. and become enslaved to the Sith philosophy there is no turning back!
:flipoff:
I think Janx summed it all up nicely
SO.... being a Beemer owner, is like being an Apple owner, then?
I wonder what the overlap between the two sets is? :D
Just an apple owner!! ... Noooooo .. The very latest fully stacked iPad 3 .. IF you don't mind THANK you very much! .. Oh and it must have the crystal and platinum case with optional oxygen refresher spray for those 'oh do tired moments' :icon_lol:
With heated grips you blokes forgot lol.
The better GS500, is a bmw, the F800.
The better gs500 in a cruiser form is a triumph - the boneville.
The better gs500 complete with crappy welds in the frame and tacky plastic is a kawi the ninja 650.
The Beemer I want is a r1200c.
Cool.

I'm easy. I'd settle for an R1000 ;)
(so, you like the f800 more than an FZ6 ?)
I'd take an F800r over the FZ6 anyday, as far as bike goes - BUT - not for the money. Bring money into it and I'd chose the FZ6 instead - if I had to chose between those two bikes only.
I understand that Labor is a massive added cost to anything. So that an item produced in China has Much less labor cost than the same bike made in Australia. That being the case, and seeing as BMW is using other countries like India to make stuff and keep costs down, why do they charge so much?
Answer: Cause they can.

thats some interesting info Yama!! ... so basically what you mean is any BMW bike is suitable for an Auntie!! .. :icon_twisted:

Jeez Slips...
It seems your anti Beamer fan club follows you to whatever thread you post in. :dunno_black:
They may despise your very existence but you now have movie-star status.
People all over the message board are talking about the Aussie guy with the heated-grip Beamer.

Beemer jeliousy
love these troll threads. when its original intent was to flame harley riders, and turns intoa beemer bash lol
Harley's are so crap
i'm not beemer bashin! ... i'm just shitstirrin slips! :flipoff: ... some of the BMW bikes are quite good.... if anyone ever wants to give me a go on a s1000rr for example ... i will be pleased to test it out. :icon_twisted:
its the "holier than thou/champagne sippin/puffery and snobbery" of a lot of the BMW riders .... they grow out of it eventually and return to almost normal people.... but while the fever rages theres no reasoning with them.... its easier to make friends with a lactose intolerant she-bear after she's broken into the ice cream freezer! ..
only thing worse than bmw OWNERS .. is CARAVAN/RV/WINNEBAGO owners!! ... you never want to even make eye contact with that lot! :icon_eek:
I acknowledge the existence of other bikes it's just I'm still drooling over my bike, hence I don't need to wash it lol.
yer.... but that was a pre-existing drooling issue wasn't it?! ...

got as many miles out of my hd as my bmw. 276, and 278 respectively. go figure. for being such crap. theyve both held up quite well
What gets me is the stigma that they are touted as the best bikes in the world when clearly there not.
you go slips!... you try and drag it back on topic!! ... :icon_razz:
i've just realised ... theres only one thing that really makes a BMW'er feel insecure .... its Harleys! ... hmmm... interesting ... and so the :whisper: will start ... BMW fears the Hogs!...
why would this be? :icon_mrgreen:
BMW. ¿big massive wussy?
Funny that I feel very secure on my BMW even when I crashed it I stayed upright. Same cant be said for Harley's. I wonder if they discovered abs yet?
c'arn slips!! ... up there cazale and all that ... you drag them hogs out on the firepit!! O0

The LPW crew shows up, tramples the topic, and then use the hijacked thread as a tool to beat the stuffing out of Slips with. (http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb050.gif)
Seems to be a trend.
Dw im tough ej I can ride in a stuff breeze with complaining. Actually a stuff breeze blew me a bit yesterday and I thought might be a good idea to sit on the seat instead of stand and keep a hand on the bars
sorry EJ ... Slips is Rough 'n Tough though ... he can take it! .. :star:
besides ... the orig topic was a troll to begin with... its them QLD'ers ... the summer heat gets to them.
i only have Redbull to blame this morning! :icon_rolleyes:

i have blue sky an sun too!!....

theyve got abs ;) ive serviced them and bimmers before. both same behavior. ive had a wreck on my sportie. and no dmage whatsoever. which tbh was weird
Oh they joined the 20th century?

facepalm for you slips! .. this is the 21st century man!!! :thumb:
Abs would have been on some bikes in the late 20th century
yeah ..bimmers in '88 ... honda did one in '92 ... etc etc
but harleys were still created in the 20th century .. 1903-ish ... so joining the 20th century? ..
bimmers only went to abs as standard on all products this year ..
funny enough that reminds me... when i was at high school .. a teacher had a r100 .. i think it was ... he would often limp a little .. that big hot boxer would give him blisters on his shin and ankle ... thru his suit pants .. he was always too tight to buy good riding boots .. but we always reckoned he would let the bike set his legs on fire before he would give it up!
I meant as in bikes having abs
