But your Uly is blue, David...their slam just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I'd have told them to stick it up their snuffalufagus.

I rarely get derogatory comments - it's usually confusion like, "What is that, some sort of dirt bike?"

LMFAO... damn this thread is great. I never thought about it until I read it, but I kinda have to agree. Man I'm glad mine's blue.

I wouldn't care, these bikes are the shiznit.

Barker, what's the name of that character. The eyes as headlights are dead-on.

I'm still laughing from yesterday eating this post again! Big bird is funny as hell. I would have been pissed if it was me they were talking about... but it is still funny! I would have just shot a stupid unworthy insult back!

"The bike I'm riding may be as ugly as big bird, but I didn't complain about how ugly yo mama was when I was riding her either!" or something like that!

Buewulf,

You forgot the Ugly Helicopter the apache!!! One BAD ASS bird!

IMHO the Barricade ORANGE is not only the fastest color on a Uly, the bike is an awesome looking machine!

I found out that if you have a slow Black Blast, it can become a great looking, much faster ride in Barricade ORANGE

I'm not sure I would sign up for one of the Big Bird YELLOW 2010 models though!

I actually had a Harley rider look at my dirty ULY and say "Nice Bike" at a stop light a couple of weeks ago before the snow hit us.

Electraglider, that was a very dangerous thing for him to do. I would probably have had a heart attack if something like that had happened to me. he should have at least given you a warning.
The closest thing I've ever gotten to a compliment was from a buddy that has a 1200GSA, a WeeStrom, and a FJ1300. Up until he rode mine, he always talked about how fugly it was (from a 1200GSA rider that didn't carry much weight in my book). After we traded for 10-15 minutes he was grinning ear to ear and said that the Uly was a hooligan bike. He pulled wheelies 3-4 times and was leaving me in the dust out of every corner. Riding his BMW made me realize all over again how much I love my Uly. It really made me think about a line from a Counting Crows song "Big Yellow Taxi"...... You dont know what you've got till its gone.

Great band but that song was written and originaly recorded by Joni Mitchell (Canadian)

Most people thing that my bike is a 650 (until I quietly pass them)

The Beaker Muppet character is perfect. Now I know what to ask for Christmas. He's going to get a little Fieldsheer jacket and motocross boots.

You meet all kinds of people. I have met more that liked the Uly than those that did not. Maybe that's because those who do not like it say away. I have told this story more than once.

One day a certain Badwebber and I were at a stop with the Uly dirty, marked up from previous oops, and his pristine white Road King parked along side. A tall fellow walks up and starts making rounds around the the Uly. He asked a bunch of questions about it and even walking away kept looking over his shoulder at it. He liked the bike and did not mind the looks of the bike at all. The entire time he never looked at the beautiful Harley next to the Uly.

It takes all types and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even if the eyes staring back do look like Beaker's. Classic Barker.

To me the best response for the Big Bird comment is...

"You'll never confuse it for a Sheep, no matter the color."

You guys have it all wrong...The Uly looks like one of Mad Magazine's "Spy vs Spy" characters...
