harley davidson and Buell and pet names

[Stevenc150]

I still wear my harley jacket because i cant justify sinking money into new gear when the gear i have is in great shape.

Me too. Got it @ 70% off, it's quality, Perforated Leather with CE armour & works like a champ for commuting - no need to change just because corporate HD has no brain.

I like to peal the stickers off almost anything I have. I have buell stickers on my black and decker lawn mower, I removed the badges off my truck and have glock stickers on that and i have Harley Davidson on my Buells air box. that may make me a douche on this, my beloved forum, but I have worse problems in my life.

I don't wear anything with logos aside from T-shirts. When I purchased a bunch of gear last year, I took a seam ripper to my jackets and removed as many emblems as I could.

My wife decided to name my bike Mule. Buell the Mule.

I own an '09 FLHT Electra Glide Standard, with the detachable tour pack. It has been a great bike, it gets the wife and I where we need to go. It's nickname is "Garbage Scow". Why, because it handles and performs like one. I also own an '07 Lightning, it takes motorcycling to a whole nother level. It's nickname is "Mule", because it gets my fat ass where I need to go. I own more Buell stuff than Harely stuff, 'caues it stands out in a crowd. Can't stand sheeple and have worked my whole life not to be one.

All my gear has it's respective brand name on it
Icon
A*
tour master
Held
Knox

You get the point
I just dint have a good enough reason to buy protective apparel that matches my bike when I plan on buying another bike in the future and it may or may not be another Buell. I have lots of Buell shirts patches and some stickers but IMO they cost less and I can still where them after I buy any other bike (because I'm still keeping the Buell)

I have owned many bikes including Harleys and Buells. I like any motorcycle. I buy what fits as comfort is everything to me. I also stick with black it looks good with any style bike. I have Harely boots and will buy them again as the Icons and others in my closet feel heavy and dont fit me well. Im not happy Harley decided to let Buell go but I will have another Harley touring bike next year, had to sell the last one due to layoff. Had Harley not let Buell go I couldnt have afforded my 1125 so sad and happy at the same time.

If I had a harley I would name it "Crappy over priced turd under perfomance over rated mullet magnet. I named my XB12R "Sexy Beast".

Im not mad at Harley for droping buell. Im glade they did, cuz now I own a rare bike. I dont like harley cuz they represent every other american compainy that is run like walmart. There corporate overhead is destroying the compainy and the product. I have no respect for them at all. Every jap bike compainy has passion for there product. I wish harley did, but they dont. If harley would make cuts from the top instead of the bottom the compainy would do much better, plus they could lower the price so real people can afford to buy one. They continue to charge more each year for the same products from the 1950's. Just because they slap a new name on a bike does not make it perform better. You should be able to sell a product cheaper each year if there was no product development. Most of there bikes and motors are old tech, yet they act like they are selling the latest new tech. Chrome is not a new technoligy. for those of you with harleys im not bashing your bikes im saying you got ripped off. I bought my buell for $6000 almost new. Thats what it should have costed the whole time.

Buy and wear whatever fits and is comfortable. Between riding a cruiser (HD), sport bike (Buell) and Dual sport (Suzuki), I have gear from pretty much any brand you can name.

The biggest thing is to make sure you like it and its comfortable. I find stuff that does not fit well and is uncomfortable often is not worn.

I was able to pick up some Buell logo gear. The Buell Mesh Jacket has HD buttons and zippers...sigh. I have the HD t-shirt the stealership made me take. I'll use it to polish my Aunt's silverware. Is it true HD chrome flakes over 50 mph? [confused]

 

[anrkizm95]

yes it is true.it was only wind tunnel tested to 46.38 mph then separation started.
