Am I a "Metric ********"?
I own two Harley's('00 Buell X1's.
I owned an XR750 .
My father was a factory Harley-Davidson rider.
I've raced and placed on Harley-Davidsons against "Jap" bikes.
I'll be racing a Harley-Davidson this year.
My father and I have our names on the WFT monument in Sturgis, SD
I've got an ego(that's what made my father and I expert dirt track riders!!!).
I have been the top motorcycle answerer.
I don't answer questions to help myself.
I support sportbikes for their safety(through superior performance).
I defend them for their misunderstood design(Rider control equals comfort).
I get flamed and thumbed down on "Answers" by riders who don't honestly know.
My father was the 198th Honda dealer)..
I explain how a 250 Ninja will outperform an 883 Sportster in top speed, acceleration, handling, and economy.
I also ride an '06 Yamaha YZFR1.
I own all of the "Big Four".
My Harleys have metric bolts and screws.
They leak oil by the cc's.
I wear metric leathers.
ROFL. Good answers. I admit to having had some kool-aid before my post. Thanks for tolerating me! Post whatever you like it's all good. Shows we have some spirit. That's why we ride.

If you hadn't noticed this place has quite the population of tools. When it comes to brands of bikes or whatever. You also have dorks with blinders on, that cant see anything else because what they have has to be the best otherwise they wouldn't have it. Do we all do it? Yeah to a certain point, but were talking the ones that automatically knee jerk every time a perceived insult heads their bike's way. I know you're feeling your banging your head against the wall speaking logic to the Anti Spocks of yahoo answers, but there is some of the population that can recognize fact over fiction.

Don't let the koolaid effect your clear thinking. You obviously have been in motorcycles long enough to see through the hype and BS out there. Tell it like it is and step on any fairy-tale teller that lies about the machines abilities. Your credentials are an authority, not a liability. While Harley Davidson is a long standing power house in the motorcycling community, it does not have a patent on truth. It's a machine, not a god. You are not required to worship it, even if you race under the orange flag. Stay true to yourself. Keep the shiny side up!

Leave the "metric" out and you have your answer.I'm not impressed by a toy that's only 250 cc. or by metric leathers(whatever "metric leathers" are).As a matter of fact...I'm not nearly as impressed by any of this as you are.Keep praising yourself,somebody needs to.

What exactly is your point? Perhaps if you didn't put metric bolts in S.A.E. holes, your Harleys wouldn't leak! Just a word for the wise.

Try not to antagonize him, there is no telling what he'll do when he gets like this!
