Nice...yours?

Oh, what's that guy's name that played 'Tattoo', on Fantasy Island?? It's his..

Oh, what's that guy's name that played 'Tattoo', on Fantasy Island?? It's his..

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?

Do you speak 'pirate'?

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.

Do you speak 'pirate'?

I don't but here's a guide that may come in handy.

...and the number one Female Pirate Pick-up Line:

1. You. Pants Off. Now!

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

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.
