Today I went to an antique motorcycle show in Oley PA. I stopped to get breakfast near the show. when I was done eating I was outside getting on my BMW and someone came out to tell me "I really want one of them". He went on to list a bunch of other (HD) bikes he owns. I told him he should check out a Uly. He started to talk them down real bad. I told him that at one point Buell was 5% of HD's sales, and how they went about developing the 1125 motor with some of that profit. he said "all that 1125 is, is a re-badged Aprila". Never heard that one before . I knew it was time to put my helmet on and head down the road. |

Funny, because the oil filter is pretty much the only part that it shares with an ape. Stupid is as stupid does :-) |

I think I use ape spark plugs in my Uly. |

You know Towpro that sort of thing is much more common these days. The "I know better than you do" but never done it myself thing. Fu+ks me off big time and do not understand why people think they can do it. Seems to me that talking Cr+p is a way of life for some these days. I must be getting old or something. |

I've been asked about my "BMW" at gas stations. Only once did someone say something bad about my Uly. He had mental issues. I too rode away. I knew it was time to put my helmet on and head down the road. Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: (and) he that shutteth his lips (is esteemed) a man of understanding. KJV |

Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: (and) he that shutteth his lips (is esteemed) a man of understanding. This sounds like it was lifted from the Buell/HD warranty. |

Proverbs 17:28 Great verse. One we all could probably be reminded of from time to time. |

One of the dumbest things I ever heard was a wannabe Harley puke say "I can smell the rice a cookin'" as he walked by me with his girlfriend while I was getting on my old BMW K100RS. I said "It's German dude." and he was dumb enough to blame the mistake on his "old lady" in some stuttering explanation. Uh huh. Bet his old lady didn't give him any that night... |

My favorite version (from my dad, once upon a time): "Never argue with a fool. People won't be able to tell you apart." |
