I dont hate HD. Matter of fact, I like them alot and plan on putting an Electa Glide in my stable some day. What gets under my skin are the jackasses that ride them 10 miles, round trip, to thier favorite watering hole dressed head to to in their orange and black uniform and brag about what badass, hard core bikers they are and how much other brands suck. This isnt really HD's fault, its the image that their customers have created over time. There are far more nice HD riders, but the few jackasses out there seem to make a more memorable impact. In short....I like the bikes but hate the posers.

spot on!

I've got a buddy who doesn't even own a bike but his father in law has 2 harleys he can borrow. So he thinks he's cooler because he "rides a harley". Nevermind the fact he can't keep up with me when we ride. Yamaha makes a dang good motor and a solid bike and the only way I would own a harley is if I had money to blow. It's the morons that straddle them is why I can't stand them.

I like Harley's. I like how they look, but Yamaha does make a better and more reliable engine. I always end up smoking my friends how have Harley's.

Re:why do we hate them (hd) so much 12 Months ago  
I have always liked Harley's and the mystique that comes along with the name. Get that the name... I am not in a position to afford one and have never ridden one so I can not compare the two bikes. As far as the people who ride, I have had two instances when I had fuel pick up problems with my bike and the only people who stopped to see if I needed help were Harley riders. So far I have had no bad experiences with anyone and I often ride with owners of all types of bikes. As many people have said here already I think it is the mentality of the person on the bike and not the brand. As long as we are all riding, and having that experience of freedom that nothing else can give you who cares what you are riding as long as you are riding.

I do believe most bike problems start with the loose nut hanging off the handlebars no matter what brand.

I don't hate Harleys or their riders, if I didn't have them making side long glances at my bike at the local watering hole I would be plumb out of admirers.
