The wave thing….. I’m 63 been on bikes since 13 years old, 50 years! If I’m on my Commando or Thruxton people wave back when I wave, I recently bought a lowrider S and when I do my usual wave 70-80 percent of riders either ignore me or look at me like I’m mental or I’m going to attack them….. oh well their problem not mine. Great content keep it up neibour (NZ)

[@Beastius24]

I ride a Harley now but used to ride sportier bikes. The only thing I didn't like was when HD riders didn't wave back. As far as I'm concerned if you ride a bike, you are in my community. I have been waving to everyone on 2 wheels and will continue doing so. :)

[@CRTX105]

The old school Harley riders think their shit don't stink

[@fedup7416]

It's because if they take there hand of the handlebar, the bike goes immediately into a death wobble.😁

[@Jonathan-L]

Whenever a naysayer comes up to me and makes a negative comment about the brand of motorcycle I ride, my response is: "This is what my employer has provided me with to do my job". I don't bother telling them I am self-employed :)

[@The_Temple]

I’d be more so “who the F are you to even have an opinion of what I ride?”

[@24james]

Whenever a naysayer comes up to me about my bikes…I tell them to get the fuck away from me. As in…right now💯✔️☠️

[@elrumcajs777]

I used to work in a bar about 50km away from home for about a year and I had a Prius at the time. During all that time, only 2 cars overtook me on my way back home… a Porsche and an M3. I’m like the Ghost Rider when I wanna be home, ….anything I ride becomes a beast! 😂😂😂😂 … humor aside. If there’s anything you wanna do on a sports bike that you can’t do on a Harley, you should probably go to a circuit. I tend to have a heavy foot and a happy wrist, but some things on public roads are just plain stupidity.

[@kevindowell6003]

Motorcycling isn’t just about specs or performance. It doesn’t matter if a bike isn’t the fastest or best handling. I love my Moto Guzzi V7 Special. There are a lot of bikes that out perform it in almost every way. I like the Guzzi because it is so low strung, easy going. It is “fast enough” it is “nimble enough” to really enjoy a nice leisurely ride. When I want to go “faster” and enjoy “more performance” I ride my BMW K1200GT. Even that will be out performed by other bikes. That doesn’t diminish the enjoyment I get from the unique character of each of those machines. If you think Harley has problems, don’t buy one, but don’t bash them either because their “problems” don’t matter to the people who love something about them.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

very well said! Thank you

[@rahjr65]

I use to say I would never own a Harley. Then when looking for a cruiser, went the the HD dealer to look at the bike I ended up buying - ‘21 Sport Glide in white. I still have my ‘18 Triumph Street Triple. I recently bought a ‘23 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport. I ride the Harley more than the others, but I have 3 different styles of bikes. Choices, choices, choices.

I campaigned a pair of Bonnevilles for 12 Years ( a '74 and a '78, so Left And Right gear-changes added to that Fun ), I bought my House in 1998 ( and a mortgage.. ) I approached the Bank in 2002 and said ' i need a Loan to Buy a Car' which was okayed no worries.. I paid 14 grand for a 1995 Dyna with 14,000 k's onnit..and Never Looked back ! the '78 Bonne is in my Loungeroom, and the '74 is in my Shed - ever since... Ride to Live !

I don’t like Harleys, but I’ve never ridden one so what would I know. I don’t like sports bikes either. I have friends who ride both. I don’t care what you ride, I care THAT you ride. We all know what it means to ride and I respect you know matter what you ride.

I ride a 2002 honda vtx 1800c, and I love it. However I have owned a 1998 fatboy, and I loved it also. Just get out there and enjoy the ride, quit hating on each other!!!

[@richardfuller4125]

For many years I would sit in the Texas pubs talking about our sport bikes and how silly Harley bikes are...were. Until now. I'm now in the process of purchasing one to go next to my Ducati. Now I'm starting to understand this more than just a bike, it's a culture. I'm very excited. I never bothered to look beyond the surface. A co-worker from India would go on rides with me on his Aprilia and loved divebombing Harley riders on 2 lane country roads. He thought it was funny. Imagine blasting past a group of riders kicking up rocks and causing a dangerous situation as many of these riders had their wives riding with them. Most on their own bikes. When I came upon a group I would sit patiently in the back of the queue and after a few miles the group would go single file and I would pass and wave "thank you" as I went by. I eventually caught up to my friend from India and told him what he was doing is disrespectful. He looked confused until the group rolled into the same café parking lot. He wised up really quick.

hi Aymen , if anyone says slow Harleys you should send them to look at the great stuff from the Guys @Alpha Performance Engines Australia.will be sticking one of their cams in my Lowrider ST. other brand riders dont like the sense of Brotherhood you get with a Harley , turn up on Harley and sporting or national (im english ) divides are set aside as you have a banter about each others rides, upgrades, experiences . people tend to get sports bikes when they are younger so end up selling them sooner as a house or family takes precedent so its prob a jealousy thing as they are essentially forced to give up their bikes through other lifestyle choices , weve done the family /house thing so dont have to sell our bikes we're more likely to buy additional bikes or upgrade to newer models. just moved from a custom Harley 48 to a 24 FXLRST 117 so now i can sledge the Bagger boys about having girls bikes with small motors !!. great channel and positivity cheers

[@matty_p_fxdx]

I’m a Harley guy my type is old custom shovel head bobbers or the dyna bro bikes currently on a fxdx but looking at Harley’s new bikes I must say I think going new I might have a identity change (since that’s all the rave these days) and become an Indian guy, I think Harley’s missing out with keeping that old school look in there new bikes and I feel Indians doing a better job of that when it comes to keeping some classic styling in there

[@nevillegreg1]

I've been riding Harleys since 1996 and I get a lot more waves these days than I use to a few years ago. I'm now wondering, a few years ago I bought a Pan America - which doesn't look like a Harley, doesn't feel like a Harley, doesn't smell like a Harley, doesn't ride like a Harley and doesn't sound like a Harley. Go figure!

In response to what else do Harley riders do wrong: I wouldn't call it wrong but it is a little disturbing when I meet someone who has Harley shirt, wallet, key chain etc. - Harley everything on at the same time. It screams overcompensation and maybe a little cultish. get it - its a fashion thing - hell I even own a Harley t-shirt and I ride a Honda but when you dolling out huge amounts of money to be a walking billboard for anything - it kinda creeps me out.

[@devimead750]

Harley Davidsons are slow. We have recently came back from the Daytona Bike Week, in which part of it involves the Daytona Speed Week, racing at the Daytona International Speedway. This included The King of the Baggers, racing Harley Davidson 131 cubic inch M8s, the qualifying top speed was 185 mph.

[@hatchetjack1031]

Years ago I was AMA district 18 motocross #1 for 2 years, I road raced MCRA/WERA,for 2 years, managed 3 bike dearships, was U.S. Suzuli regional Manager, central region. I own 2 Harley's, one is Dyna tuned 1200 nightster and it is the fastest Harley I've ridden other than Dennis Gilmores 1979 Auto show winning drag bike...short story long...I'm a GEEZER now and I would challenge any Harley for a race at Gateway International Raceway against my KTM RC390GP...only 48 hp and 320 lbs...top speed 115mph. Gateway has a max top speed for Yoshimura GSX-R, of 100mph. My 390 only reaches 94 in that straight. That fireblade rider didn't spin his tire or lift the front wheel so he wasn't trying! That rat HD isn't a 13 second bike. Screw Valentino! Form follows function!

[@ThatBobGuy850]

Nice video...but... It is undeniable that sport-bikes are more "fun" to ride with their quicker handling, effortless acceleration and incredible brakes. It is also undeniable that Harleys appeal to an older age group. And we baby-boomers are dying off. I'm 68, and if I'm being honest, I really don't know how much longer I'm going to want to ride. Also, Harley owners do have a perception of being a "club that you can't join." It's funny though - just buy a Harley and you are automatically in that club. It **is** a brotherhood. No other brand generates that kind of kinship and loyalty as H-D.

[@OldNotDead-Club]

Thanks, don't know about undeniable? I started on sports bikes and got sick of them. Every now and again i buy one thinking it will make a pleasant change and that lasts about 2 days.

I have asked them if they have ever owned one, the answer is always "no way".....a guy I ride with is a BMW rider, actually anything but Harley, he trades in very often because by 5yo they start leaking(I found this out from my dealer when I was looking at a used BMW he was selling.......I also ride with my dealer).....I too have had 7 HD, currently own 4 and wish I had 2 of those back....both 883, don't want the ultra back 3 BMW riders seem to make more than Harley riders 4 waving.....well the crotch rocket riders don't wave because their backs aren't strong enough to hold them up without their arms....and they Harley riders for any brand cruiser.....they can't tell one from another, but that's ok I can't tell one crotch rocket from another 5 there's a lot of good people that don't ride Harley, I look at riders as riders not as what they ride 6 Harley's are too expensive, everything I buy cost too much, and every survey I always say so 7 most "upgrades" are not better than stock 8 huh? 9 well.,..HD is now a woke company, they like to preach brand loyalty but it's like their goal is to pissoff their customers, I've been looking at some Indians and used 1500cc Kawasaki touring, they got the stretched out tank and a comfortable ride unlike their 1700cc touring which is like HD touring In a few yrs I'll probably sell the Vrod and get an Indian
