I wish I had memories of those good old days with wonderful, friendly dealers. When I bought my first new HD the dealers attitude was: the price is the price, if you don't want it someone else does. You get to test ride it after you own it.

Nope - those suck the MOST.

EXACTAMUNDO!!! 3/4 of the floor room devoted to shorts, pants, hats, belts, shot glasses, coffee cups and the like. Ask for a part and 9 times out of 10 the response is, "we don't have it, but we can order it."

I worked for a few dealers over the years but I've never bought a new bike . Closest I ever got was a 69 BSA I picked up in 1973 , all my harleys have been 10 or more years old .

+1 ... Remember This Shirt ?

"Flat Head"
"Knuckle Head"
"Pan Head"
"Shovel Head"
"Gimme Head"

Reminds me of the shirt I had after I got out of the service
"Fighting For Peace Is Like Fu*king For Virginity"

My favorite for a long time was " No Butt No Putt " had it on in traffic court judge just raised an eyebrow but 3 attorneys cornered me asked if that was a solicitation for sex , just grinned at them .Had an airbrush guy make this one a after dingbat blond I was with pissed me off .
C an't
U nder
N ormal
T hinking

Guy came by as I was packing to leave the next day and tossed me 2 nice shirts , said he did over 50 of those after mine .

+2. Just not feeling as much like a part of something unique anymore. Be it out on the road, in a dealership or at a rally. Gettin to where I don't even want to share air with most of the riders I meet anymore. Just ain't the same.

I really prefer to keep to myself and just enjoy the ride. Not sure why I even frequent this forum. Mostly a bunch of PC whinny phuks but I keep commin back. I guess I'm hoping to find some of the ole days but so far it ain't happening. I won't give up though.

Old schools in here a lot of them got neutered later in life but not all , hard to catch any feeling for anything on the net can't read people like we all learned to do early if you rode then . I'm guilty of giving the shake & bake crew a good twist on occasion can't help it they give me too much materiel to work with .
