Harley-Davidson - what is it?

Better known as a Junkie Davidson (by me) or Hardly a motorcycle (by a friend). Mechanic work I did to these drunken engineering pieces of Korean pot metal with an American tag on them, and gladly never rode them except for test drives to see if they would somehow hold together. My best friend who was in the infantry in Korea in the 80s went on a USO tour of the harley davidson factory there, where they manufactured parts for junkie davidsons, crated and palletized them, and shipped them to the US for assembly. This is a real deal. I work in a place where many attempt to ride junkie davidsons to work. Many have had a lot of trouble with them. One had a large very expensive touring model and the cylinders became concave and he lost compression. That was a manufacturing flaw; HD would not even talk to him about it. Another had a brand new fatboy and the carburetor leaked all over his leg all the time. Another couple had a matching pair of touring model HDs. They told me that they were either in the shop before a bike run, during, or after, or all of the above. The man said they were in the shop more than on the road, and he and his wife traded them for two awesome Honda touring bikes and they have really enjoyed only having to do periodic services. They are actually getting to ride the motorcycle. Those Hondas were under $9,000 a piece, a fraction of the cost to buy and maintain a junkie davidson yard statue. I once replaced a "made in china" starter on a junkie davidson. I was not supprised when I opened the box, though I thought it would be much bigger though, maybe the size of an irrigation pump motor, with auxillary batteries...www.harleyhater.com (not a real web site, for rules sake) I had a friend on my team in 5th Special Forces Group who was riding his junkie along on the way home and it crapped out on him 10 miles away, he pushed into the woods and left it. Good for him...Yes they are what the artsy crowd calls roadside museum art, or artifacts if you like, because that is where you find them. Permanently afixed to a road shoulder with an address hanging on them. You will find the government enviro nazis hanging around trying write them up for oil leak residue on the shoulder. junkie davidson, hardly a motorcycle, Korean pot metal, Chinese starter, drunken engineering feat.

The man's harley davidson would not start and we were all so soooo suprised!!!

The man's harley davidson leaked oil, and we were all sooo surprised!!!

Dick and Jane had harley davidson trouble all the way to the bike run, so their friend Matt rigged them an explosive charge and made microdust out of the junkie. Dick and Jane bought matching Suzuki GSXR 1000s (his blue and hers pink) and lived happily ever after....

What does "Harley-Davidson" mean?

A once proud brand of motorcycles that were originally only owned by legit badasses back in the day. Sadly sometime in the `80s posers got into the act and Harley Davidson began to become more concerned with merchandising rather than building decent bikes and it became acceptable for doctors, lawyers, and fat bald guys having a midlife crisis to ride Harleys.

If you own a Harley Davidson edition anything you're not a bad-ass you're a pathetic poser urinating allover the once proud name of Harley Davidson. Fuckin' trendys always ruin everything.

Harley Davidson is now the very definition of selling out.

Harley-Davidson - what does it mean?

A twenty cent motorcycle with a twenty grand paint job (that rust will come through given time) corners like a jellyfish on acid.

Tom's Harley Davidson had rust coming through the paintwork, and it cornered like a jellyfish on acid.

Harley-Davidson - meaning

Once a great bike that was ridden by the baddest of the bad asses but has evolved into being the 2 wheeled sofas of RUB’s.

If you want something with a radio, GPS, a heater, cruise control and back support you should buy a sedan, not a Harley Davidson.

Harley-Davidson - definition

A person who makes a lot of racket but does not go anywhere. Someone who thinks they are cool but are actually quite sad. Named after the Harley Davidson motorcycle because they make a bunch of racket and don't go anywhere, and often the people that ride Harley Davidson's think they are cool but are actually quite sad, and they have serious homosexuality issues.

Dude 1: Jimmy says his band has a record deal with EMI.
Dude 2: Ya whatever! Jimmy still lives at home with his Mom! What a Harley Davidson!

Harley-Davidson

whilst your partner is on all fours, you insert your thumb into their starfish. Once this is done, you rotate your wrist in a manor which resembles the throttle of a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

So I was banging this chick doggy style last night, and she gushed great volumes when I gave her the Harley Davidson

The most effective way to turn gasoline into noise without producing any horsepower

Wow that Harley Davidson is as loud as a semi, too bad it doesn't have the horsepower to get itself up that hill!

Harley-Davidson

Line of American motorcycles first manufactured in 1903 by William Harley and Arthur Davidson that are nowadays generally overpriced and underpowered.

Harleys are commonly referred to as "hogs," which is an allusion to the deep, throaty rumble the exhaust pipes emit as well as the amount of gasoline they typically consume. The loud exhaust noise is the basis for countless "all bark and no bite" references in relation to typical Harley engine performance. "Hog" is also an acronym for the Harley Owners' Group.

Harleys utilize the antiquated and inefficient V-twin engine design, which is a Harley trademark in much the same way tumors are a trademark of cancer victims. While even older V-twin engines boast an excellent amount of low-end torque, most V-twin engines redline at about 5000 to 6000 RPM which severely hampers any effort made to achieve quick acceleration. In contrast, many sportbikes redline at 10000 to 15000 RPM--double the amount of torque, which means you can accelerate harder for a longer period of time before having to change gears on a sportbike.

Despite advances in the construction of the V-twin engine, such as the 1450cc Twin Cam 88 (1999) and the 1130cc V-rod (2002), the fact of the matter is that neither engine design is worth their weight in gold because both still utilize the inefficient V-twin template. Granted, the current V-rod is a powerful and formidable engine that allows for much quicker acceleration than previous models and can hold its own against many low-end sportbikes, but Japanese (Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha), Italian (Ducati) and German (BMW) manufacturers, using an array of different engine constructs such as the inline 4-cylinder design, have been outperforming Harley's outdated V-twin monstrosities for decades.

Once the mechanical horses of vicious outlaws such as the infamous Hell's Angels and a piece of machinery that commanded respect, Harley-Davidson motorcycles are now nothing more than something non-fleshy for pornographers to put between the legs of their models, as well as being status symbols for doctors, lawyers, and other yuppie scum who don't know the first goddamn thing about riding safely but will waste $20000-$30000 on a bike regardless. The aforementioned vicious outlaws can no longer afford to buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles, so they spend their time hanging out in sleazy bars and reminiscing over what could have been. Or they take the initiative and ride Hondas, like the gangs in the Charles Bronson movie "Death Wish."

In the late 1960s, Harley-Davidson was having many financial woes so they merged with recreation giant AMF. AMF produced, among other things, bowling balls and golf carts. AMF used the merger as an opportunity to slap the Harley logo on many non-motorcycle-related things they produced, such as their golf carts. So if someone ever says "my grandmother rides a Harley," they are probably being witty in referring to the fact that their grandmother (drives) an AMF-produced golf cart with the Harley logo emblazoned on it. (To be fair, Yamaha also produces golf carts and motorcycles, among other things but riding a Yamaha has never held the same amount of prestige as riding a Harley, so their reputation suffers little.)

Most Harley enthusiasts agree that while it was essential to the rebirth of the Harley-Davidson corporation, nothing good was produced during the merger of AMF and Harley. The bikes produced using AMF's resources were (by and large) crap, but many motorcycling enthusiasts would argue that some things never change. People bought the AMF-produced bikes though, which helped boost Harley-Davidson financially through the 70s as they competed against a flood of cheaper Japanese bikes entering the market. In 1981 Harley-Davidson and AMF split and Harley-Davidson became an independent company again.
