I'll sell all of my bikes before I'll ever visit another Starbucks. I tried to order a cup of coffee there once. They didn't even know what it was and I wasn't about to try and decipher the gibberish before I had my morning coffee.

 

That ad will do little against the vest, do-rag, loud exhaust reving, crapy sounding stero blasting, cool dude typical Harley rider you see buzzing around town but I like it. Harley is in a box and I'm not sure if they will get out. My defenition of Harley's box: The heat of the big twin without modifications and the number of parts used being manufactured over seas, china of all places.

 

yeah every one of his posts so far he has taken shots at people.. The primary reason why I am content to ride on my own do my own thing for my own reasons. I am what I am and I don't give a **** what 1%ers or Rubs think.

HD's ad should be more like:

Harley Davidson the bike for those who spend more time whining about what others have and are doing than actually riding.

 

It's prob just a ploy to bring the yuppie styles back to buying Harleys since the bike sales are down. Ya can't make money off of clothing forever.
They're going to have to come up with some new bikes though (imo) to make it happen. The market they are going after are the ones that come in here and troll

 

I got a casting call notification for this down in Austin but didnt go. Know one person who did make the cut and $ but did not see him in the commercial.

 

No the point is a man can buy a Harley or a Kawasaki or a Triumph and do and be whatever he wants. It becomes a problem when snot nose lil children pop in and feel they need to apologize for how others are or say oh I just want you all to realize I am not like that guy over there.

This thread of yours was about 1 thing -you know it, I know it, I am positive a few others that you think are too stupid to get it know it.

Spend more time riding less time worrying about others. The HD brand isn't yours to own, isn't yours to police up and if you don't like some of the people that ride HDs and what they are- tough ****.

It is probably just HD drumming up more business for their repair guys since most of the new fancy folks can't change their shift pegs without some assistance and permission from their wives.

 

The average HD rider's age is 47 or 48. In 5 years it will be over 50. If the MoCo doesn't attract younger people to it's products the value of it's stock will plummet and the size of the company and dealer network will shrink. Investment advisors are already beginning to recommend selling HD stock. Young people do not want to be like the old bikers of the past.

 

They asked me but I was too busy having my beard fumigated for fleas.

 

NOW you're getting the point! That is exactly the message of the commercial, and one I wholly support. If they can get it through to the wannabe clothing police who think they can dictate to others what kind of patches they can or cannot wear, we'd all be on the same page!

Nice of you to espouse this kind of ecumenicalism at long last.

 

i would die of dehydration before i drank a cup of that sludge.. I bought one cup one time while at a airport.. took one sip and promptly poured it out.. i went to a burger king in the airport and bought me a great cup of Maxwell House coffee, now thats coffee..

i don't know how starbucks stays in business offering that swill at ridiculous prices..



I like the AD, but i did take offense to the term "Grease Monkey".. thats a quick lube joint in town..
