There are 2 HD/Buell dealers in the Austin area-Cowboy HD and Central Tx HD. One dealer (Cowboy) has a great reputation among Buell AND Harley riders. Another(CTHD) does not. This video starred actual Central TX HD employees. Guess which dealer gets my money? Hint; its not CTHD. Douche canoes.
That was stupid. Any dealership that would be part of putting out that video clip would surely have been on the side of the "cubed Blast" campaign.
Why if I had to lower my standards that far to pick up that chick on a street corner(ie. HD parking lot), I could have done better with a $20 bill and no bike at all.
I loved the "dead fish" girly handshake when he was leaving, then he can't hardly get it off the side stand!! Agreed, that was a slap in the face and I ride a Harley too. I would never buy another one though. Since 2003 they have cheapened the crank and bearings and enlarged their runout specs so large it's stupid. If I need another large touring bike it will be a Victory Cross Country, not a Hardly Dangerous!
Sad to see a great brand become a caricature of itself.
That video was an abomination. And to add insult to injury having the guy wearing a Buell shirt, a brand who's name is on the outside of the building, to represent the "dud".
The sad message is that buying a Harley will gain you an ugly big assed girl.
This is my new Buell theme song... You may not like the music.. but the lyrics kind a fit for me...
Can't touch this, we rule it with a clenched fist, On, top fuel with a death grip Judged, by a weak little man with a pen in his hand and just doesn't f%%king get it Own, couldn't stop us if you wanted to School, breaking knuckles with a ruler, Done, no more, emergence, to dominate you
Run, hide, your time is coming Hunt, find, walking a fine line Run, hide, my time is coming Hunt, find, it's just a matter of time
Talk your shit, and get some balls to back it Plague, HELLYEAH coming with a vengeance Victim, by a weak little man with a gun in his hand and I don't f%%king get it Sick, livid and my stomach aches Rage, boiling over, full of hate Weak, worthless, spineless and we're coming for you
Run, hide, your time is coming Hunt, find, walking a fine line Run, hide, my time is coming Hunt, find, It's just a matter of time
Just like a storm rolling over, Rebellion is rising, blazing the steeds, Don't Fire until you see the whites of their eyes, Burned at the stake within me,
Warhead, payback, settle the score
Run hide, your time is coming, Hunt, find, walking a fine line, Run hide, my time is coming Hunt find, It's just a matter of run hide
I've got a quarter each for all of you...buy yourselves a sense of humor...
What goes around, comes around. We all get a good laugh at the anti-HD vids that get posted up here. I got a chuckle out of this one too. I think it takes a swipe at the stereotypes that either side of the Buell/HD divide present.
I think it just confirms the attitude most HD dealers had about Buell in the first place. It's going to take more than a quarter for me to think that was funny.
I do get that what goes around comes around. Hey, I even own a HD. I still don't like the video.
Yeah...but did ya notice ? After a serious stomping by 3 HD guys...not even a scratch on the Dude. I'm gettin me one of those Buell shirts! Obviously has aura of magical protection properties, or - "Buell Dud's" are like Timex's -"can take a lickin & keep on tickin". He needs a better helmet though. A pretty amusing play on universal stereo types. Next scene should show him at the beach getting sand kicked in his face. Classic. j
Come on Hooligans...it's a joke! A pretty stupid one perhaps, but a 'turn the tables' joke nonetheless. After all the grief we've given HD owners ? I give my brother crap all the time about his Ultra - just in good fun. Lets keep perspective & sense of humor. Of the 3 guys doing the stomping, 1 was a dentist, 1 an accountant and the other an HD salesman. and the 'lady' - she was either the apparel manager (eyepatches are on sale BTW!!) or the 'chromeologist'. I dont perceive any great threat here.
Was it in Bad taste? - sure! But doubt it's gonna affect their Buell sales much. It's an insight into the whole 'bad ass' HD mythology. It's stupid, but it's what they sell. Gives us all something to chuckle about in those idle moments. It aint rainin out (dont want to endanger my single chrome part - steering head bolt - with rust) and i'm now going to ride my Uly to the HD dealer for an eyepatch. Hope I don't get attacked. Don't think I'll buy any 'fatboys' though either.
Etennuly - picked up matching patches. My St farm agent suggested I double up on the 'protective gear'... and my insurance, if I wear 'em simultaneously.
