Can't figure out why I love this photo so much ... but I do! . |

Now if the guy was just wearing a Buell jacket, that'd really be funny (in a conflicted kinda way)... PhotoShop, anyone? |

Frankly it kinda of pisses me off that anyone supports a guy pissing on the lively hood of some very American workers, at a very American company, especially in a Honda coat. |

If this loser had any balls, he would have tried to pull this off on a weekday when the parking lot was full....oh, but then he would have got his ass kicked all over the street. Second thought, I'm thinking that maybe he was cleaning the monument with his bicycle waterbottle ('cause he can't afford a real motorcycle)....thanks! |

I'll admit - a part of buying and riding a Buell was due in part, the pride of ownership - owning something made here in the U.S. of A. But I'll have to agree with Rwcfrank. Johnboy777's comment, it's not often that I laugh out loud uncontrollably from reading a comment here. |

Panhead, I respect your opinion here. But let me share a thought. I'm of the opinion that this forum – in fact, the Internet should not be censored unless it crossed the threshold of national security, state or federal laws, or crossed the boundaries of ethics. Censorship in this case would be downright unconstitutional. That would be un-American...in humble opinion. |

I have tried to understand the animosity between brands of motorcycles and frankly I just don't get it. Still, if I had been there at the time this was taking place...well nevermind I have sworn to put my childish violence behind me. |

" the Internet should not be censored unless it crossed the threshold of national security, state or federal laws, or crossed the boundaries of ethics." URINATING IN PUBLIC would fall under crossing the threshold of state law. Jail time or stiff fine for this just about anywhere.......(besides, it's not funny. How would you feel if someone came up to your house and took a piss on your porch?) |

.......(besides, it's not funny. How would you feel if someone came up to your house and took a piss on your porch?) Especially if you had your name inlaid in a big fancy arrangment on your porch.. pretty much like pissing on you.. also for all the HD haters out there.. remember what they have done for buell, i mean the parent company not the jack off dealers.. Pretty disrespectfull.. althoug I have to admit I did grin when i first saw it, but after a minute of thought realized it was bad.. |

Panhead Dan has owned 50 Honda's; not 5, not 10, not 20, not 30, not even 40 ... but 50 Honda's. Damn, Dan! You be a Honda lovin' son of a gun there, buddy! Sounds like you may have single-handedly driven HD to the brink of bankruptcy, back when. Yup, very un-American! Blake, please censure this man. . |

"...although I have to admit I did grin when i first saw it, but after a minute of thought realized it was bad.." Thank goodness you came to your senses... wow, that sure was a close call. Sometimes a true American MUST fight back the urge to 'grin' , and realize bad for what it is ....bad. . |

Why is this any different then the Calvin pissing on the Chevy/Dodge/Ford symbol? Why is an American made Honda any less than an American made Harley? I see it as brand rivalry. Don't believe for an instant that Honda wouldn't love to have Harley's following in the cruiser market. Don't believe for an instant that Harley wouldn't love to have the age demographic that Honda has. Were this guy's jacket a Victory would it then be ok to laugh? This post won't be moved if I have anything to say about it. |

I think you guys are seeing way too much into this. To me, this no different than a Ford vs. Chevy, Pepsi vs. Coke, Tylenol vs. Advil rivalry. Freedom of speech is American! When I think of America I think of our multicultural nation, the diverse landscape, freedom, and rock n' roll (especially The Ramones). On the other hand, I don't think of a faceless multi-nation corporation that could give a rat-ass about it's workers as the symbol of America. That goes for Harley, Microsoft, GM, Hostess, Apple, Nike, etc... |

that picture is certainly in poor taste! A great American motorcycle company with some doing that to their sign! I can only think what would happen if a HOG group was riding by and saw that guy doing that, now that would be a picture with them kicking the crap out of that punk! |

In this day and age of digital imaging I would not doubt for a second that this is a photoshop image. No doubt the image represents the feelings expressed in words by many motorcylcist all across the internet of Harley Davidson haters. And then you can go on HD forums and find haters of any brand moto other than HD. It all just pointless noise. To me the "image" that started this thread is still a useless image meant to only provoke contempt and anger.... |

Maybe you're right. After all, I am saving a pic of a friend leaving a bag of shit on microsoft's doorstep. I believe the pic to be a work of art. I would like to retract my request Blake, without deleting my previous reply. |

I'm probably going to get seriously flamed for this, but.......... .....me thinks some are taking this childish picture entirely, way too seriously. While HD by all reports is an excellent American company and success story it does not represent America as a whole. It is NOT the same as pizzin' on the flag for G's sake. It's a good company that manufactures product for it's consumers, nothing more, nothing less. I've seen plenty of pictures of Hog riders in colors pizzin' on all sorts of stuff foreign and domestic all over the net(including people's personal Hondas), where's the outrage over that? Public urination is illegal in most locales in the US........but so are power wheelies, stoppies, rippin' curves beyond the speed limit and all sorts of other "hooliginisms" that are honored here and elsewhere on the net. So the legal dismay is somewhat hypocritical unless we're going to view every post depicting "bad" behavior through the same lense. Now here's my disclaimer; I in no way endorse this type of behavior in public regardless of the Symbolism it defaces. It is clearly a sign of how far we've slid down the social landscape that this stuff is considered mainstream humor. And for the record the Calvin vinyls are completely stupid and sooooooo last decade.

"Maybe you're right. After all, I am saving a pic of a friend leaving a bag of shit on microsoft's doorstep" thats a big bag of shit considering microsoft has no less than about 2000 doorsteps and climbing daily if you've seen the construction in redmond. |

If this was a picture of a H-D fella pissing on a Honda sign it would be funny as hell for those who take offence to this picture. Get a life because this sure as hell is not something to get your hackels up about. Now if he was pissing on a war memorial I could see people getting pissed off. Its a frigging HD sign. Like Kelloggs or Boeing or Shiek condoms. Grow up. |
