Poor family in their minivan thought they'd get beat up........by a bunch of middle age wannabees?

BE SAFE OUT THERE!

Thats what he gets.............

 

Pretty much says it all. He doesn't have any business on a bike - much less on the Dragon.

 

Harleys! I can't find the right words.

 

First, I've never seen a Harley try to pass someone. They are normally asshats and try to take up the whole road while going below the speed limit. Like they own the thing.

Second, why is that van or whatever it is running video?

Third, why does it look like they are going so slow?

Fourth, how do you go off the road going so slowly? I'm not a pro biker, but I did own a 750 Ninja back in the day. I hope I could ride better than that. Maybe I just wouldn't be as stupid?

 

the van is goin slow cuz its a van

 

That guy simply could not ride.

 

That was kinda funny.

 

I've been riding for almost 30 years. Started out on Hondas. and decided I needed to slow down or I probably wouldn't live too long. Harleys fit the billfor the last 25 yrs. Not that Harlies can't go fast, my Softail has 106 HP out of an 80" motor. It goes pretty good, but sometimes you have to stop and sometimes even turn. You have to use common sense. The current crowd that ride Harleys just about know how to wash their bikes. It's all about the look, never mind the riding skills they need. My Roadking handles pretty nice, but The Dragon is not a road for Harleys when you push them. Maybe a Sportster or Buel. But the rest don't have the ground clearance. Harleys like long sweeping turns, not tight curlys. Harleys like roads similar to Skyline Drive in Va. The guy in the video didn't exercise good common sense and I hope he was going faster than the video made it appear. If he wasn't, HE CAN"T RIDE! I love my Harleys, but my new love is my S! Second only to my +1. I had to say that.
**BTW There have been many videos of our beloved S screwing up pretty bad. Root Cause-lack of common sense or driving over their head.

 

I really enjoyed that video. I hope the guy is alright, but the Harley is toast. I hate Harleys. Always in the way & most of the time they refuse to pull over.
