OMG, I'm sooo humiliated..

Just saw this, always thought BMW made a "Euro-Harley"

Oh, and notice the post's date?

Yea, but us diehard Harley guys never miss a chance to give the thread author a hard time about his BMW...and vice versa. I still think his exhaust system needs a 1" hole saw. Funny though...I was trying to figure out who realized this and was just along for the ride, and who had no clue. Hard to tell with most everyone posting so far being the "class clowns".

I almost posted "April Fools" immediately after he posted it, but decided to go the karma route instead.

I'll admit I fell for it yesterday. I eventually looked it up to find out more about the merger so I figured it out last night.

I thought that was pretty cool you did that.. Lug did the same..

REALLY didn't think anyone would fall for it, but I also thought, MAYBE just maybe being late at night, someone would forget the date.

That and I figured we, Harley RIders included, could have a lot of fun with anyone that 'bought' it.

Bob's BMW even had page up if you logged on yesterday, him resigning himself to the fact BMW was no longer, that it would be Bob's Harley Davidson. COmplete with new logos, stories about the switch.. etc. Totally unplanned and not connected with each other.

The V-ROD is the Euro-Harley.. ask Mighty Mouse, he'll explain it to you.

You mean it's not true?! I just spent all last night prying my jugs apart into an opposed twin...

I was trying to figure out how to get the BMW logow off, and where all the leather and chrome was going to go..


OK, this I have to ask.. What is with the Fringy handlebars?? I keep seeing this and I keep thinking when I was a kid we had neighborhood kids with fringy handlebars, they were all girls.. I keep wanting to ask if they put playing cards in their spokes too.

It's just a styling nod to the old west days, cowboys, mountainmen, explorers...etc.

Well duh...

And dont forget taking the smashed soda can and wedging it up in the brake caliper to make that roaring sound. I'm sure Bob's BMW could use em )

No explaination needed, thanks, air cooled twins are air cooled twins. And thats besides Porche's V-Rod!

On the jackets, fring increases the surface area of the leather and allows the leather to dry more quickly

Tassles can also be used as tell-tails, similar to those used on sails. These allow the rider to see if he or she is actually making any forward progress, or just vibrating at a stop.

Oh, good one. They also can let you know if it's raining or not. Once mine were sticking straight back and I was sitting at a stop light. There was no wind so I was pretty confused so I reached out to try to put them down and one broke off in my hand! Then I put it in my mouth and it was really cold. I realized then it was frozen!
