Well....it's official. There are no longer streetrods in the automotive world...and that's a good thing.........problem is this......Harley Davidson now has a new Vrod model....and you guessed it .. "Street Rod", and the name is trademarked. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......etc!!!! ****ty motorcycle with a ****ty name.....what could be finer?
I wouldn't doubt it,sue me, sue you.... I think I'm gonna trademark "****head"......should be able to make some money with that!!!
AHHH... but i got a way around that,,, i'll just call people "******* melon"...that sould be enough to keep em all guessing, and your lawer off my ***!
I like this term "******* melon"! I think I'll copyright this and "pencil neck" for people that rub me the wrong way. Joel
So whats so ****ty about the name "streetrod"? The name has been around since the fifty's. Why don't you try and explain why you think the name is ****ty! Or you just trying to start some ****. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Opossum Benders Mid Mo Chapter
It's a ****ty name for a motorcycle...makes no sense...maybe it would be a better name for a boat. Me??....Start some ****????.....that's funny.
I still don't get the ****ty part. Boats Huh. "Boat is Neat" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opossum Benders Mid Mo Chapter
Let me help you out Hatch. Most people dont call motorcycles streetrods the call them bobbers,choppers,bike,etc.Most of the time the word streetrod is gonna be ***ociated with 4 wheel vehicles. I can see it now let me look back into my crystal ball, ah yes I see this is from the same company who tried to patent the sound of their motorcycles and now the company who is trying to stop their dealers from selling straight pipes. I probably will get a cease and ***it letter for just mentioning these to debackles or they might try to sue me because the playing cards in the spokes on my bike sound to much like one of their bikes. I hope this helps Hatch. Later Shoe
Read all about it here http://www.harley-davidson.com/en/homef.asp?bmLocale=en_US Looks impressive,for the type of bike it is, which is the "crotch rocket" type. Won't thrill "Traditional" H-D riders one bit but H-D needs to branch out if they are going to collect some of the compe***ion's market.
it'll take the chrome of'na bumper hitch and sit back with a beer... howzat fer some serious ****age? lol T
The term..."Street Rod" started as a politically correct term, and I HATE things that are politically correct....that's why it's a ****ty name....and it makes no sense to call a bike a street rod....it makes about as much sense to call a boat a street rod. New Harleys are now politically correct, so they ****.....I hope this clarifys my position.....****ty name for a ****heap bike......conceived to sell to more "divorced orthodontists".....
I only thing I see is that is trademarked is "2005 Harley-Davidson® VRSCR Street Rod and or VRSCR Street Rod " http://www.minorsharley-davidson.co...520-2005_Harley-Davidson_VRSCR+Street+Rod.htm
You might remember when Harley tried to copyrite the sound, potato..potato etc. they didn't have any luck with that. The foreign bikes have made vast gains on harley by offering v-twins. This latest issue is an attemp to bond with the street rodders (gold chainers) like the Ford truck of a couple years ago. I quit buying new harleys when the fired the last harley that worked there. I never rode a davidson and personally I think willie G is an ***hole, but they certainly know marketing. Lets face it with the v rod you have an overpriced, slow, poor handeling bike, with a large price tag and they sell it. Harley also knows that most of the bikes sold do not see many miles per year, just like a lot of big buck street rods. Just as Street rods are now mainstream, bikes (harleys) are as well, and I bet this is a way to get the street rodders to buy harleys.
yeah, but check out the new sportster features; "Most noticeable are the blacked-out Evolution powertrain and race-ready 883R graphics...". i guess if you're only racing other 883 sportsters, that may be fun to watch...
Well, I'll give you that one, maybe the new sportster with the rubber mounts won't shake your teeth out but it's still too slow.
