No way. He was a midget and couldn't reach the handle bars.
Here are a couple more fine examples.

No, I like that a lot. What's wrong with a big cruiser with apes and fringe? Looking at one for myself right now.

It is purely humor to me, but apparently not for a certain portion of the populace.
The guy down the road from us apparently builds "custom" HDs (and perhaps other brands). He currently has a HD version of that one sitting out for sale with a couple other creations. Looks like nice work, just not my choice on so many levels. Should stop in and chat some day, I suppose. Maybe..

Do you speak 'pirate'?

All this baby needs is some wheels on the end of the exhausts and you could do way stylish wheelies on this scooter.
(The hard tail conversion is one of the more sano I have seen.)

Do you speak 'pirate'?
Setting aside the obvious insult with which we are all familiar, the native moto language of this country is 'pirate'. And it is spoken fluently in many countries around the world. HD sells at least twice as many motorcycles as anyone else, so even those who don't speak it as their native tongue pick it up by association. So we all speak pirate; even you gPink.
BTW... I was looking for a place to post this thought; this is a good one. In most places in the country, buying a Japanese bike is still like buying a lawnmower or chainsaw. Dusty, ratty sales floors smelling of oil, just a few bikes in the store, the whole line definitely not represented, and you can't try before you buy. HD on the other hand has figured out how to take THE American brand and market/sell like upscale automobiles. And they don't advertise any more than the Japanese brands do... they don't have to.

lighten up, flip ..... you did read the title of the thread?

No, and a good point. I suppose I need a different wardrobe selection other than my usual elcheapo riding gear too or I could never have a chance.

I don't but here's a guide that may come in handy.
Top Ten Pickup lines for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day
10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
8. Come on up and see me urchins.
7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?
4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
2. Well blow me down?
And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …
1. Prepare to be boarded.
Bonus pickup lines (when the ones above don't work, as they often won't)
They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.
You’re drinking a Salty Dog? How’d you like to try the real thing?
Wanna shiver me timbers?
I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.
Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.
That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Let's get together and haul some keel.
That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there.

If we all liked the same thing I guess it would be pretty boring at times eh?
For me, there's nothing right with that bike. Ape hangers have to be one of the stupidest inventions ever and not only because they look hideous either. How can those things be safe? No way you can make an emergency maneuver, if necessary, with those stupid things.
-
lighten up, flip ..... you did read the title of the thread?
I'm light g. Was just saying... the pirate thing is tired. The follow up one-liners fall flat. And I didn't think that particular bike was a joke, for the record.
C... Have you ever ridden a bike with apes?
Okay, I'm leaving the comedy club now. Have fun.

Nope, I have never ridden a bike with apes, and I never will. There's a reason for that...
You didn't like the one liners that I posted? That's ok, I won't take it personally. ;) Feel free to post some if you like. This is the Funny Pages after all.
-
I just asked because it IS possible to make emergency maneuvers with apes, even if they are the stupidest things ever.
Now THIS is a joke... No, really.
-

For fun, explain how. With a one-liner, if possible.
-

As in, "dude, I was going too fast and I had no choice but to lay my bike down"?
Now THIS is a joke... No, really.
Agreed.

I don't get it. Because I called it a Hardly? I did so because that's what the OP, who bought one, called it. Does that mean stevewfl is a hypocrite also? Truth be told, I'm shopping for an HD myself right now. If that is also a joke then I'm happy to entertain you. But there's no hypocrisy here. Truth be told, I would prefer apes, but I'll probably end up without them, at least at the start.

I will never understand how paying twice as much for half a bike is a good thing?

Because you avoid normal people?
Ah, different people allocate value in different ways.
-
Jeez, this IS in the funny section, right?
Ok, some folks consider a motorcycle as just a form of transportation, and some believe these iron
horses have a soul. And a crapload of folks in-between. I find the lines on motorcycles strokes a
favorable chord in my body, and I like it. And then there's the guy on craigslist trying to buy stinky
socks and shoes, go figure! But, who am I to criticize? Commonly, to each their own..
-
sweet..

We ride motorcycles... Normal people don't! SMH....

We. Ride. Motorcycles.
Need there be any other qualifier or question raised on the topic?

What's normal for the spider is chaos to the fly..

That's generous right there.

It is
interesting funny (sorry; this IS the Funny Pages) how folks forget that the C14 retails for $16k and is worth AT BEST half of this the moment it leaves the floor and about 1/3rd of this a year later, regardless of mileage. It is the known laughing stock of resale value. You want a joke right? Right? You want to talk about half a bike? The C14 is it... and I own one. Now that's funny.
-
I glad I'm the second owner of mine.
-
I think your numbers are a bit off but that's OK. Point made.
As far as I can tell, most people who ride motorcycles want their bikes to be individualized. Cars move your body, motorcycles move your soul. My motorcycles have always cost more and are far nicer than the other vehicles in my transportation stable. It's a terminal disease for some of us. I'm good with that.
To me, $50k for a 1/2 ton pickup is a joke. All vehicles are money pits. All of them. There is no end to the $ that you throw at vehicles. And "worth" is relative to the individual. If it makes your heart beat fast, go for it.
-
...and if it doesn't, drive it til the wheels fall off and get another pos transportation vehicle.

Which would make a used C14 the bargain of the freaken century! Again.... IMO a Harley is at least twice the cost for half the bike... They must price them by the pound or something....
-
Guess from a monetary point of view, the comparison on used would be a sportster to a c-14.
It's all about purpose, what you want the bike to do for you. I wouldn't mind having both,
might be accused of being Bi-polar. Screw it, I'd make room.

Is that what's meant when someone is referred to as being 'Bi'? ;)

I liked the color.
And now for something completely different....play nice boys.

The guys at asphaltandrubber.com capture the enigma of H-D pretty well in the introduction of their Ducati XDiavel review.

I don't think that HD has anything to worry about from Ducati considering that HD sells in a quarter what Ducati sells in a year. Not that I would ever buy one (HD). I'd rather have a Ducati personally but Ducati even remotely thinking that they have something similar to HD and even say that, I think they're fn :nuts: .

It's got 2 wheels and goes bbbrrrrrrmmmm. Whats not to like?
-
I have no problem with Harleys, There are a couple models I actually like. I think ape hangers that make you almost stand up on the bike to ride are STUPID & unsafe but Moderate ape bars are okay. This is a humor thread in a Japenese bike forum so if a little pirate humor crosses your britches then there are plenty of V-Twinkie sites to visit that bash foreign bikes :chugbeer:
-
I just asked because it IS possible to make emergency maneuvers with apes, even if they are the stupidest things ever.
I forgot to mention one thing. Not that it's that big of a deal but Illinois, in it's infinite wisdom, states that any MC handle bars that are higher than the rider's shoulders are illegal.
I've never heard of this law being enforced though, kinda like how LEOs 'look' the other way with loud pipes on cruisers.
-
A couple of you need to unbunch your panties.
Oh and by the way, that thing is stupid as are all bikes with tall ape hangers, and I laugh at the guys as they ride by.
I don't have a problem with Harleys, I just don't like the guys who remove any sort of muffling, then rattle my ear drums as they ride through my neighborhood.
Unfortunately this has forced me to become bikeist towards Harleys.
But ape hangers are a whole different kind of useless.

That law IS enforced in NY. No apes above your shoulders.
