LMAO... I've met them. My '96 WG wears the turquoise and cream paint scheme, an expensive option when new, and apparently puts many people in mind of earlier times. I've had older guys and girls come up and tell me they had a '57 Chevy with those colors, when they were young.
I've also had younger guys, usually with a group of friends, ask what year pan (or once even knuck) that is...
I've been known to answer, with a straight face, it's a '47. They usually nod their heads in knowledgeable agreement , sometimes saying "yeah, thought so" and walk away with a smug look on their face...

 

Last year, I was at Bikers Blues BBQ in Fayettville, ar......

As I was walking back to the bike, I noticed a group of people standing around my bike. One fellow asked, "How did you make that EVO fuel injected?" One guy even said it must be aftermarket. I said.....well.....

 

Took in my 98 EG for a frt tire at my local HD boutique Mechanic wanted to know what aftermarket FI system I was running. I told him it was a weber variant from Moto Guzzi. I guess MMI and The PHD don't cover Magnetti Marelli anymore. I live 10 miles from THe Capitol plant 12 miles from Juneau and 18 from the Pilgrim Plant.

 

Someone on another forum told me that the majority of the employees at the Motor Company don't know there was a predecessor to the TC... and he works there.

 

This has been going on forever. I once stopped to help a broke down dude on I-10 in Mississippi in the early 90's. He stated he appreciated me stopping for him even though I rode a ricer. The embarrassment on his face was priceless. I realized I rode an ugly Tour Glide but damn...to be called a ricer? LOL

 

i was only 20 when harley unvieled the twin cam, and though ive owned 4 twin cams in the past 2 years, id like to get an evo someday, maybe an old fatboy from the 90s.

hey scott, why is there a pic of my bike in your sig?? lol

 

I have one of those fancy wireless scanners that doesn't work and I'm not smart enough to remove the old photo.

 

Got it fixed.

 

we've come close to making your statement true but thanks to a defibrillator and a great mechanic the fatty and I are still going strong.hahahahahahaha
viva los evos

 

Earlier this year I was at one of Harley's demo ride's at my local dealer, weather wasn't great and I didn't really wanna ride anything anyways so I took my truck. Got talking to the 2 guys in charge of the demo ride truck and bikes, and one asked me what kind of bike I had, I said "I have 2 a Virago 1100, and a Bad boy" and one of them responded "A bad boy huh, is that a honda?"
the look the other guy gave him was priceless too, it's not just "ugly road glides" that people mistake for ricers, LOL
