I asked this question in the Garage and apparently its filled with HD hating assholes. So does anyone out here know much about the Harley Davidson Dyna line? I am trying to pick out which one I want and am looking for the major difference between the Low Rider, the Fat Bob, the Street Bob, etc.

Thanks, and a pre-emptive fuck you to all the people not answeing my question.

That is all

Pre-calling out trolls only makes it worse....good luck to you.

3/23/2010 8:44:06 AM

Ehh, like I said I already got hit up in the Garage of all places. Chit Chat is what I call home on the wolf web. At least the trolls here can post some interesting material, rife with curses and empty threats.

go down to ray price. Look around, sit on some of them, talk to someone and see what you like.

I have been to Ray Price, but I'm not in the area anymore. The dealer near me doesn't have the great sales people or the large selection.

Let me tell you a HD story, since you seem determined not to listen.


last fall, I, along with 4 friends, rented HDs to ride from Phoenix, AZ to the Grand Canyon and back. We were renting from an EagleRider that was a HD dealership franchise, and all the bikes were a year or maybe two old, with 15-20k miles.

We reserved 5 bikes: 2 Heritage Softails, 2 Road Kings, and 1 Electra Glide.

When we left the dealership, we hadn't been gone long before we made a brief stop, and the Glide wouldn't start. Fortunately, we were still very close to the dealer, so they came and brought us another bike and took the Glide back.

Well, we rode a couple of hours, and noticed that the rear brake on one of the Softails was glowing red. This one potentially could've been caused by the rider accidentally resting his foot on the brake...or it could've been a sticky caliper. I don't know. At any rate, we allowed it to cool and didn't have another problem with it.

About a half hour later, the fucking exhaust (one of the mufflers) fell off of one of the Road Kings. We allowed it to cool, then slid it back on and I kicked the shit out of it a couple times with my steel toes.

We finally arrived at the Grand Canyon without further incident.

The next morning, we got up to ride home. We got about halfway home, and a muffler fell off of the OTHER Road King.


On top of all that, it was a very disappointing motorcycle (the Heritage Softail) in terms of how it rode. I've ridden a lot of motorcycles (i'd guess at least a couple dozen, maybe more). I found the engine and brakes to be pretty unimpressive, and what should be a cruiser's strong suit--comfort--wasn't really very good. It was too upright, to the point that I felt I was hanging on the bars (creating tension in my arms/hands), with all of my weight on my butt (again, not comfortable).


Oh, and they're RIDICULOUSLY expensive.


There are so much better bikes out there for that amount of money. Hell, there are better bikes out there for a lot less money, in my opinion. The only reason to buy one is the nameplate, just because you want a HD for some odd reason.


After all that, let me also add that I always had a generally positive opinion of HDs. I knew they weren't the sort of thing I'd want to own, personally, but I liked them...up until the point where I actually rode one and got some direct experience with them.


oh, and you don't get the answer you want from people who actually know a thing or two about bikes, so you come to chit chat (the home of stupid dancing cat .gifs). Shit, even if you get your answer here, what's it worth?

you need to realize the difference between offering an honest opinion and trying to give some good advice and trolling

if theduke hates something it is pretty bad.

I have read that copypasta harley story before...nothing new there.

3/23/2010 9:45:24 AM

however, a harley will help you pull some trashy tail

this is true...but when you consider how much you overpay, you could probably hire some quality pro tail with the savings of buying a different bike

Nah...He also hates ITRs and turbo Cayennes which the rest of the automotive world seems to think are pretty rad.

3/23/2010 9:50:16 AM

I don't exactly hate the ITR. I mean, on a certain level, I have an appreciation for what it is and the fact that it was actually produced. I just rightfully loathe FWD on anything other than a commuter/appliance car. It's not like Acura built the ITR from scratch and chose a FWD layout--they started with a basic, off-the-shelf Integra, and did something very impressive with it.

that doesn't mean that it isn't fundamentally flawed by being FWD, though.



Cayennes are incredibly impressive. It's just that by virtue of being a crossover-SUV, they're by definition stupid and pointless. I mean, yeah, it's the most awesome crossover-SUV around, but the fact is that 99% of people would be better off with, ohh, an M5 or a Quattroporte or something if they need to haul people and stuff in style and with great haste.






Harleys? Ummm...they look and sound good. I suppose if you are willing to accept that it's an inferior motorcycle at an inflated price, you could justify one as sort of rolling art. Of course, I personally would rather have some nice Euro stuff like a Guzzi or BMW if I was just buying on style points. Either that, or go all-in and get an old shovelhead chopper or something.

3/23/2010 10:22:22 AM

I'm just going to point out that you guys in the Garage will wail on and on about anecdotal evidence (see the M5 thread), but you've got no problems presenting it as stone cold fact when it happens to you.



That's my big problem with the Garage. Everyone thinks they're a fucking end-all be-all authority of everything that's every happened with any type of car anywhere.

3/23/2010 10:30:38 AM

^this

Granted most of what I have been doing is lurking around the garage, but this is a prime example. I ask a very specific question and people use my topic as their very own soapbox.

You mean like this theduke guy?

3/23/2010 10:34:47 AM

speaking of assholes, have you ever seen someone who rides a harley?

what a bunch of fags. they all remind me of the goth kid in high school that turned out to work in a bar until he was 30. then he bought a harley and now he does some kind of sales job and still is not accepted by anyone for anything except the motorcycle he rides

3/23/2010 11:36:18 AM

Oh so you are one of those idiots that gets his views on the world from South Park. Good to know that you are good for nothing except blabbering.

3/23/2010 11:38:02 AM

literally i havent watched south park since the christmas poo.

so i guess i am gonna have to go with no

I ride a 2007 BMW R1200R. The combination of performance and comfort are top notch compared to anything else I have ever ridden. I just don't like how all these Harley outlaws ride. It's like, sweet frat harley riders. you guys are neat with your beards and extremely similar looking bikes.

[Edited on March 23, 2010 at 11:47 AM. Reason : they are idiots]

3/23/2010 11:42:39 AM

I'm not accepted by anybody, just ask my friends.

3/23/2010 11:47:13 AM

do they ride harleys?

3/23/2010 11:48:22 AM

what the fuck is a copypasta

3/23/2010 11:48:59 AM

just going on a hunch here. but it might be something that was copied and then pasted

3/23/2010 11:49:51 AM

really?

3/23/2010 11:53:44 AM

idk, like i said..... just a hunch.

i kind of like the ring it has too. copypasta. i thought it was someone's username for a second when i read that

3/23/2010 11:54:39 AM

haha i was trying to be facetious but it didnt work out very well

3/23/2010 11:56:09 AM

look at you feigning ignorance on the internet to seem above the current material provided.

3/23/2010 11:58:02 AM

look at you using words like feign and still thinking that a harley will make you cool

3/23/2010 11:59:38 AM

i think youre over exaggerating there a little bit, more like make fun of you and your stupid copypasta

go back to the garage silly

3/23/2010 12:00:26 PM

now I am not getting who is talking to who here.

I don't need a harley to make me cool. I need a new car for that. If you really think that feign is a big word, maybe you need to go back to the third grade.

[Edited on March 23, 2010 at 12:05 PM. Reason : .]

3/23/2010 12:05:16 PM

i didnt say it was a big word, if you dont understand what over exaggerating means maybe YOU need to go back to the third grade

I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY

3/23/2010 12:14:56 PM

pretty sure I wasn't talking to you. Do I need to add "^'s" to make it clear?

3/23/2010 12:27:06 PM

haha, nah, im so vain i think every post is about me

3/23/2010 12:28:50 PM

fair enough, haha
