I think so....

Listen to what you are saying.

BMW`s are better built then Hondas, Triumph are as good as Hondas (well the will be soon, when they start being built in Asia)

Harley`s Dont stop , go or corner.
Ducati`s have Chinese washing machine electrics.
BMW`s are for old blokes with beards and elbow patches on their jumpers.
KTM`s explode as soon as you fire up the engine.
etc etc etc...

I`ve heard all this and more, Nothing is perfect, everything has a flaw or weakness.

(Ducatis/hondas/kwaks/ are the best etc etc)
that shows you up and tells anyone with half a brain , you know nothing about motorcycles,

And its this "in" fighting that will eventually see the nanny state kill biking completly.
If we cant even stand together for a passtime that we all enjoy (be it with power ranger suits or chaps and tassles) then what chance does motorcycling have...

VanDaMauler,

Your comments are far too confrontational based which is why this thread will end up getting pulled also;
The BMW/Honda banter is being thrown back at Couchcommando for a bit of fun.

Direct insults like; "that you dont have a clue" and "you aint a real "biker" and you are nothing more then a sheep following the herd." are not called for.
Where were the; "This sort of I`m better then them argument is just pethetic..." comments made by anyone here?

Your just miffed about the fact that people don't like Harleys and your provacative comments about only riding hard on a superbike not an ST on a track is what sorts the men from the boys was neither asked for or required the other day.

Anyone who choses to ride a Bike as a lifestyle statement is ok by me, but just because I don't like your bike does not give you the right to direct hot air in my direction.
Lighten up!

[VanDaMauler]

And also, dont tell me that Ducati dont try and sell a "lifestyle" just like Harley davison.

Bikes are bikes, two wheels and an engine.
Thats good enough for me.

[jeff st4s]

If that's the lifestyle you want your welcome to it, because it does not interest me.
I own a few Ducati t-shirts and thats as far as my brand indoctrination goes beyond the bike and this club.

[chicken]

I'm better than all of you. Now shut up.

[jeff st4s]

[philthy]

Oh no you're not!

[couchcommando]

LOL, only the Hardley ableson owner is getting annoyed.......

Lets be honest Harley's do go round corners and do stop, they just don't do it quickly or am I missing something ? Maybe they will line up on next years motogp grid with a low bike and feet forward riding position and outcorner everything with their new found chassis technology

How anyone could ever deny Honda are the best made bikes I can't understand, the fact that they stopped making characterful bikes after the C90 tho is irrelevant.

[jeff st4s]

I have to admit to having a bit of fun, but have no need or desire to overly offend VaDaMauler.
I aggree on a Ducati site non italien s€x objects should be fair game for a laugh.

Couch's R1150GS was the rustiest, creakiest bike we've owned! It was dead easy to ride though, you couldn't feel anything it was doing, so you just ploughed on oblivious to the conditions

Anyway, can we all just get on and stop arguing. There's nothing better than my Kawasaki anyhow, so any further argument is pointless

[jeff st4s]

But if I got my Mother to talk in the general dirction of your bike it would instantly explode unlike my BMW.
