RE: Harley bashing MSF instructors
ORIGINAL: Idiot
Last night I completed the classroom portion of my Rider's Ed class. I seriously could not get over how passionately my intstructors hate Harley.
I don't give a **** what anyone thinks about Harley and I took it with a sense of humor. Then all the other students had to jump on the anti-Harley bandwagon too saying itsjust an image thing, nothing else. They complained that Harley sells beginner's bikes that are too big for them, and it turns riders off, and they lose three sales ... etc etc
I had to laugh when I looked around the room at this bunch of IDIOTS I was with. One had an issue with the fact that the training material equates 1oz liquor to a 12 oz beer for alcohol content. He had to debate it with the instructor just to make sure the class went extra long.
Some broad in there kept asking questions about if it is safer for her to tow her dog in a bike-trailer or a side car. She also volunteered that, from her experience sailing, she knows that people should not start off riding Harleys if they ever really wanna learn to ride.
I seriously felt like Mr Murphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

The ABATE instructors at my class were both good guys...one rode a rocket the other a HD...and neither expoused an opinion, good or bad, about what each other rode or what the class members owned. They were happy knowing we wanted to ride a scoot.

My response would be, "Okay, now that we've been through the brand bashing class, how about we move on to the part were we accually learn how to ride a bike".

These types of threads bring out the most bizarre responses. What difference does it make what someone else says about Harleys? It's a motorcycle, a possession not unlike your TV set, your car, truck washing machine, dog, and everything else you own or owe money on. Do you defend your choices in those areas as vehemently? I doubt it.
