HD Sarcasm

All right, need a little advice. Not too many Vic riders close to me, and need a few sarcastic remarks for my HD riding buddies. A group of us went out on a ride, I parked mine in an actual parking space, and not out in the grass with their bikes. Someone smarted off about not parking with the big boys, and my answer was that I did not want his boy, teaching mine how to mark his territory at every stop! So what to you tell the Harley Snobs when they give you grief about yours?

I think you did well.

I would have said something similar.

Maybe

"I'm allowed on the concrete since my bike doesn't leave a mark."

"I'd park in the grass too, if my bike left oil spots everywhere."

"Mine's house trained."

"HOGs are meant for the dirt, Vics are meant for the road."

To me us Vic riders are going to be on the losing end when poking fun at HD and/or any other bike because our parent company discontinued the brand. Hard to make fun of other guys bikes when our own is out of production.

That's because unlike other brands that get worn out and need replacing the Vics just keep on going. In the end riders are so in love with their Vic and they are so well built that nobody ever had to replace theirs and Ma Vic went under.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just because they stopped making mine doesn't make yours faster or handle better.

I bought my XR when they first hit the showrooms. When parking among a group of Harleys, one guy sez, "That's different." I eyed the Harleys up and down and responded, "They're all the same."

I have had many a HD and liked ever one. Now with the vision guy just say how do you like it. As far as smart ass comments I never stoop to there level.
I just smile and walk away. Why give them fuel for the next time.
The first one that says the sly comment always wins and your response comes in second and no one cares after his.

I don't need to carry a toolbox on my bike like Harley riders do!

Lol...funny you say that, being a diamond member with Hilton, anytime I rode my bike and stayed on Hilton property, they told me I can keep it parked there. So I would unload and go upstairs leaving it parked under the awning. But hey...my XCT would start! Lol

Just wondering what others say to their HD friends. That's all. I am used to the crap talk being a woman on a bike, but the HD guys are the worse. Why are others so concerned this was brought up, instead of having a little fun with this subject. We all catch Hell from the HD crowd. Don't crucify me over a simple question. I have nothing to add to oil filters or oil choices.

My wife has this T shirt that says it all.

It has a victory badge on it and in large blurred letters says. IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU JUST GOT OFF A HARLEY.. says it all.

She originally bought the shirt at the Tucson Vic dealer that owns Victorypolicemotorcycles.com
I don't see it on their website but they maybe able to help you find one.

Typically I tower over the people McNuggets in this area so most don't say a word. When they ask why I picked Victory I tell them that "I'd rather ride it than wrench on it".

Of course having a Gunner that rumbles & roars the way mine does helps to keep the trash talkers away.

There are enough Victory motorcycles in this little town that the local riders know what they are. More importantly they know what they are capable of.

For your "big boys" reply you could have simply said that you were man enough to park where you wanted instead of following the boys.

Yeah your appearance doesn't give people that "hey let's make fun of that guy" vibe lol

I’m a skinny guy weighing in at 130 pounds and have mastered how to be tactful with my comebacks. I like to poke that the bear so not to piss it off.

My typical reply is that I love being an American where we are free to make our own choices. (pause a couple of seconds then add) I chose not to stand in line and buy black Harley like everyone else.

If my lovely red headed wife of 23 years is with me I will usually say “Some guys like blondes, others brunettes, I prefer redheads.” as I lean over and give her a kiss.
