Just copied this off of another forum thread. Thought it was worth plagiarizing.


Harley-Davidson Owner's Group "HOG"

1. The primary purpose of "HOG" is to promote: A) Fellowship among Harley-Davidson owners B) Chrome-plating C) Motorcycle Gangs D) Inbreeding

2. You see another HOG member riding the opposite direction on the highway you are on. You either: A). Hold your arm off to the left and gesture with a proud salute B). act too cool to notice and keep going C). Turn around, chase him down and beat him up for his chrome accessories D). Run after him frantically waving for help, since you've been stranded on the hard shoulder for over 5 hours

3. When performing your pre-ride check, you notice a few drops of engine oil on the floor underneath your motorcycle. You should: A). Immediately clean it up with a towel or other B). Breath a sigh of relief that the engine still contains oil and optimistically press the starter switch C). Dab your fingers on the stain and then on your face, achieving that cool "greasy mechanic" look D). Pull the Harley forward so the rear tyre sits on the oil stain and attempt a burnout

4. The most important piece of gear to a Harley rider is: A). Half-helmet B). Goggles C). Leather Pants D). Wallet Chain E) Break-Down Kit

5. You see a row of Harley-Davidsons lined up at a roadside drinking establishment. You choose to: A). Stop and make some new friends B). Park for a moment, hammer down some shots of whiskey, and wobble home C). Attempt a wheelie D) Beat the crap out of some sucker for insulting HOG

6. A valve stem has broken off and effectively seized up the engine. After removing the head and thoroughly inspecting the situation, you: A). Head to an authorized H-D dealer and order genuine Harley replacement parts B). Decide to chrome plate the valve stems and springs C). Conclude that more end play in the cams could have prevented this tragedy D). Try starting the motor so that the neighbors know you're working on your bike

7. A Japanese-made sport-bike pulls up in the lane next to you at a stoplight. You: A). Nod diplomatically at your fellow motorcyclist, in spite of his patriotic failure in his duty to buy American. B). Grab a handful of throttle and race the engine, hoping to engage him in an exhaust volume contest C). Curse the F#$%ing rice burner and throw your cigar at him. D. Keep pushing when the lights change colour

8. The guy down the block has a Sportster 1100 that is faster at the strip than your souped-up Fat Boy. You feel a need to level the playing field where the power to weight ratio is concerned. You decide to: A). Install NOS B). Remove the exhaust pipes and run straight headers, since more decibels equals more power C). Go on a diet D). Inform your 270 pound passenger she is no longer allowed to accompany you on the bike during runs at the drag-strip

9. Cruising along at full throttle, you are casually overtaken and passed by a Scooterist. You: A). Stop at a payphone and dial 999 to notify the authorities of a reckless driver B). Attempt to pass the scooter by imitating his hunched over riding style, reducing aerodynamic drag and gaining another 5 mph top end speed C). Curse the little S$%^e and choke on your cigar in the process D. Shoot him

10. The preferred method of cleaning a Harley-Davidson is: A). S-100 motorcycle wash or equivalent B). Simonize C). Gunk engine degreaser D). Mother nature

***BONUS QUESTION*** 11. You need new tires for your Harley. You decide to go with: A). Dunlop Qualifiers B). Mickey Thompson Super Off-Roaders C). Cheng Shins D). anything chrome-plated

I think we're tolerant. they are allowed to ride on the same road as us. ( as long as it is behind us and to the left :D ) We wave to them when they are parked ( broke down ?) on the shoulder.

Tolerance/sympathy - same thing ! :rotf:

I even wear my shirt to acknowledge them:

How about adding a number:

5: Just clowning around. :D

I get a bunch of ragging from my 2 brother-in-laws who own Harleys and my brother in CA who has an old Pan Head Harley.

It is a give-n-take in my family.

So Lighten up! geez...

My wife's sister and brother-in-law from Indiana came down to visit us several months ago and of course, as most Harley owners must do, they had to stop at every Harley shop within 50 miles to buy a couple of t-shirts.

We blind sided them and stopped at our BMW shop on the way to the Harley shop. My wife and I (of course) were wearing our shirts with the "This is your brain, This is your brain on drugs" shirts ( see below)

Once we got to the Harley shop and they bought their shirts, my sister-in-law stated that it was "unfair" that the Harley shop didn't have any shirts dissing BMW's.

I told her it had to do with the "Truth in Publication Law" . BMW could say it...Harley can't ! :histerica

IT"S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEONE BLOWS A FINAL DRIVE !! :cool:

The scooter overtaking a Harley is not too far from the truth...

I drag raced a guy on a stock '03 1200 Sportster on my 1990 Honda GB 500 (36 hp single cylinder Brit look alike) in a quarter mile. I stayed with him until the last few hundred yards. I weighed 220 and he tipped the scales at about 160 soaking wet.

I drag raced a guy up a hill. He was in his VW van and I was on my Road King, and I won. :rolleyes:

Ironically, of the two bikes I remember stopping to offer help when I thought I might, neither was a Harley. One was a BMW GS - of course they had enough stuff to fix it and were working it out. The other was a custom whose rear fender bolts had grooved the rear tire pretty badly. His bud had watched it start smoking the rear tire as they motored down the highway....


Usually the broken Harleys I ve seen are surrounded by a bunch of scary-looking ppl on cel phones....: )

Slim,

We do all get along. Harassin' the "other" brand is part of the fun. Can't get sued since "TRUTH" is the absolute defense for any libel or defamation claims. :histerica

Just met a friend of mine today to look at a R1100RT he is looking to buy. He rides a Harley. He rode it over to look at the Beamer.

Looks like the meds he must be takin' are working since he is willing to come on over from the dark side.

Messin' with you Harley guys are like sibling rivalry. We can do it among ourselves, but let any cage drivers screw with a biker...we be one team ! :bike: :bike: :bike: :bike:

Thanks for your help. But all of the suggestions was not what I was looking for, but when I looked in the related threads at the bottom I found the post. It was posted on Nov. 5 2007 by Lonewuff. I will have lots of fun with these one liners tonight.
