Langford, on 09/04/2008, -1/+77Oh, it's small, OK. Anyone else disappointed that it didn't turn out to be a motorized unicycle?
oldhick, on 09/04/2008, -2/+48True, its hard to ride a Harley with your skirt on. Go back to your scooter.
MrSteamTank, on 09/04/2008, -1/+41I thought he was literally going to ride 1/2 a bike. It would of been so much cooler to see him ride around in a harley unicycle.
freezerburn666, on 09/04/2008, -6/+40not funny.
UcIc, on 09/04/2008, -0/+27It would have been funnier if he was a midget.
AbdullahAbuDawu, on 09/12/2008, -1/+13Best comment on digg in ages. Thank you for that.
Remmiz, on 09/04/2008, -3/+14I hate living in Milwaukee during these Harley Anniversaries.
AyaJulia, on 09/04/2008, -0/+11Oh good, it wasn't just me.
TheDarkTrumpet, on 09/04/2008, -0/+11Not all harley riders hate other motorcycles.

I own a 1200XL custom Harley - I love the bike. I do realize others like hondas or whatever. I give them a bit of crap about it, joking of course (and yes they know it) - but I have no problem with others' choice in vehicle.
foolishwolf, on 09/04/2008, -6/+16They see me rollin'... they hatin'
Jedakiah, on 09/04/2008, -0/+10Was I the only one expecting a unicycle?
iheartrendering, on 09/04/2008, -0/+10Totally.
goodbick, on 09/04/2008, -2/+12hahahaha I laughed my ass off when he flipped the girl off after she kissed his cheek.

It's stupid, but so what?
inactive, on 09/04/2008, -0/+9everything is funnier with midgets
ElderBieler, on 09/04/2008, -1/+9Oh snap.

What can you say to that Kevlar21? It's best to just admit it when you get your ass handed to you.
Disease, on 09/04/2008, -0/+7That's what I was hoping for.
UtopiaInTheSky, on 09/04/2008, -0/+7What happens if I accidentally call this website "Reddit" ?

Uhhh, no. 99% of Harley riders actually RESPECT people. That includes their choices of what 2 wheeled vehicle to drive.

I have a old moped that I restored from the ground up, fresh paint, new chrome where needed ETC. and this summer more than a few of the riders coming through wisconsin waved me down to talk about the bike. One guy even rode it ( THAT was funny to see, fully decked out biker on a little moped that looks like a mini Harley ).

Moral is: most bikers aren't huge douches unless you do something stupid to piss them off. Hell, bikers do a LOT of charity runs for different organizations. You are actually more likely to run into douchebags on Digg/Slashdot/Reddit than when talking to bikers.
wepeel, on 09/04/2008, -1/+7I've never wished that I could digg a comment more than once...until now
Disease, on 09/04/2008, -2/+8You sound like a spokesman for Harley.
TheDarkTrumpet, on 09/04/2008, -1/+6Yeah, I gotta admit this comment is absolutely awesome, also dugg. Try riding that "1/2 bike" say...um...10-20 miles, I bet it'll get quite tiring right then and maybe you'd rather have a bit larger, and more comfortable, bike to ride.
ATLien74, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5That's a myth perpetuated by watching too much tv. I see scooters all the time when I go to Myrtle Beach, or Panama City. They might get laughed at, they might not get laid... but they don't get their ass kicked unless they are popping off at the mouth which has nothing to do with riding a scooter.
jguy584, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5Riding an 86 suzuki sport bike (gs550) in an area chock full of harley riders, I can say that most of them return waves when I go by. They tend to be older and understand the true spirit of riding.

Its really BMW riders who are the biggest dicks, only about 1/10 of them wave.

Note: For those who don't ride, it is an unwritten rule that you wave to ALL other bikers when you pass them on your bike. Some dicks only wave to bikers of the same breed, but for the most part we all wave to each other.
Greg2k, on 09/04/2008, -0/+5Did you mean: Harleyrious
BXRWXR, on 09/04/2008, -1/+6Oh, I get it...
flashingcurser, on 09/04/2008, -0/+4He needed some bad fake tattoos.
Rahodeb, on 09/04/2008, -0/+4Nah, doctors and dentists tend to avoid conflict.
TheG2, on 09/04/2008, -1/+5I ride a scooter (150cc, goes about 65mph WOT), and I get waves from Harley riders more than any other riders. I also have a motorcycle but ride the scooter for short trips because the gas mileage is better.

If you wanna laugh at scooter riders, go ahead, but 2 wheel riders (scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, bikes) are laughing all the way to the pumps when you fill up your SUV's/trucks.
ancalagon73, on 09/04/2008, -0/+4I'm a big Harley fan. Why the hell would I care what you like? To each his own my friend.
inactive, on 09/04/2008, -0/+4If diggers are anything like the bikers (not all, but you know the type I'm talkin about), they will feel that their masculinity is somehow in jeopardy and will threaten to, and I quote, "beat your ***** ass".

Lulz.
oldhick, on 09/04/2008, -0/+3Most bikers just love other bikers regardless of the kind of bike. However, that respect does not extend to scooters.
inactive, on 09/04/2008, -3/+6At least he rides it and it's not a trailer queen.
legoalert33, on 09/04/2008, -2/+5ShamWow!
seantubridy, on 09/04/2008, -2/+5Try riding in on a scooter and you'd almost certainly get your ass kicked.
gametavern, on 09/04/2008, -2/+5stupid.
Remmiz, on 09/04/2008, -0/+3True. It didn't have the overhyped Elton John surprise last time.
djw319, on 09/04/2008, -0/+3Popular Science ran an article a while back about a guy who invented a motorized unicycle. It looked pretty rad.

tMANwi, on 09/04/2008, -0/+3Oh come on, it was fun this year.
koldmilk, on 09/04/2008, -3/+6Zing!
AbdullahAbuDawu, on 09/12/2008, -4/+7Coming from someone who rides a Kawasaki Vulcan...

Theres everything else, then theres a Harley. Its a completely different automobile.
ledmonkey, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
OrangeTide, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2You should move to Sturgis, South Dakota
OrangeTide, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2All the Harley fans I deal with seem to like pretty anything with two wheels and an engine. Most of them own multiple bikes, the Harleys are just their favorite.

I have a Triumph, but usually get my leathers done at a Harley place. But even the people that work there also own like vintage BMWs and other bikes.
oldhick, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2Agreed. I'm never angry at scooter riders. I just don't respect them and laugh at them. But I would never ever hurt someone because they ride something different... Just like I don't respect guys that wear pink nor guys that wear their collars up. But I wouldn't hurt them. That's silly.
The world needs laughter, not violence.
BoneheadFarker, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2http://www.gearbits.com/archives/000336.html

This is the real one-wheel motorbike. The Uno has 2 wheels side-by-side...
OrangeTide, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2I was literally thinking it was going to be half of a bike. or maybe a bike with most of the parts missing. or half motorcycle and half something else (bicycle, pogostick, babystroller, etc)
kevlar21, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2well at least I'm below the viewing threshold so not as many people will see my shame anymore...
frontaxle, on 09/04/2008, -1/+3I wish it made a Meow sound when he revved it up.
microview2007, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2Dude is sporting man boobs.
