"I'm going to need 4 buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken".... LOL
........and some gravy. That was funny. Just as they were exiting the diner after breakfast. lol. I swear they had to have seen the guy I always see at the bagel/coffee shop. That main bike character looks just like him. Except the guy I always see is wearing a black ball cap with flames. Too funny. I really enjoyed that episode.
Not to over-analyze something, but here is where I "think" they went with this. They key point to the episode was not the Harley riders, but how ridiculous the word "***" has gotten. So, to mess with how uptight people have gotten over the word, they decided to pick an image that is opposite of the the person that is upset over the use of the word right now. Then have the kids call bikers ***s since they are one of the less likely people to be called ***s given the current use of the word. Heck, they spelled this out by having them look up the use of the world throughout history in the dictionary.
At the same time we all know that there is the image of the biker with the crazy loud pipes that likes to crack the throttle at every intersection, so why not pick a "macho" target that you can make fun of as well. Heck, while they were at it they could make fun of the "poser" element of motorcycles as well by having them be so eager to be noticed.
It was a funny episode. Bike-curious had me cracking up.
Yes they were stereotyping Harley riders in this episode and yes a little far fetched. I see people like those riders all the time. I call them LAMBS (Look At Me Bikers).
When did South Park start stereotyping any group of people, do they stereotype jewish, blacks, asians, the homeless, poor people, red necks, government, military......
Why yes, yes they do.
The point is that LAMBs don't scare anyone and annoy almost everyone.

Couldn't agree more. A guy on another forum brought up an interesting point, look at the bikes closely. I saw bikes that looked like Sucker Punch's, and other customs. I think the writers learned from experience and knew what they were talking about. I was in Daytona for Biketoberfest and one morning I was at a Denny's with my brother-in-law & father-in-law. We saw a table with about 25 "Italian Riders" or some sh!t like that vests on. That scene with those ***S at that breakfast joint was dead-on with these guys & Girls. I was laughing so hard I woke up my wife and daughter. PERFECT!
