Default Loyal to harley.

had to go in the metric bike shop in town to pick up some amsoil,[harley dealer dont sell it] and got to eyeballing this fake ultra glide on the floor wondering why harley doesnt sue them, when a salesman comes up and asked what i ride. i said a harley, he said are you ready to trade it in on this one today? i was outraged, disguisted beyond words, i mean i was insulted. i never realized i was that loyal to h.d. till those emotions washed over me. i kept my cool and said, harleys get in your blood and you just cant cheat on them. he looked at me like i was crazy and chuckled at me. i told him maybe ide be back for a dirt bike or an a.t.v., but if i trade my harley itll be for another harley. i was surprised at my own reaction, anybody had a similer experience?

Outraged and disgusted?

Order your Amsoil online or buy it someplace else, give your support to someone who supports you.

Let me get this right...you're in a bike dealership "eyeballing" one of their bikes and a salesman walks up to you...well that alone would have pissed me off. Never heard of such insolence. Hell, what kind of salesman would do that? You mean he even tried to sell you a bike???? He should be fired. Next you'll probably tell me that when he learned you ride a Harley he didn't drop to the floor and lick your boots.

you missed the point genius, its about the thought of trading my harley not anything the salesman did or said. read slower, take your time.

Default what are you doing

They put that same amsoil in those metric motorcycles also, it may contaminate your harley. It has already happened to mine, everytime I work on it I find more metric bolts.

Yeah I get ya man, metrics trying their best to mimic Harley's, why you ask? Because people buying a metric cruiser will usually say something like "I like Harley's but theyre too expensive, these Honda's look almost exactly the same and cost half!". Moral: all other cruisers besides Harley's are knockoffs of Harley's themselves...the image of the cruiser is owned by HD, and all other companies are using this image to sell plastic two wheelers.
---Oh, and I got a huge asz Harley Davidson tattoo last summer, the 2nd year Ive owned my '07 Nightster, now if that aint brand loyalty/obsession I dont know what is, lol.
