Speaking of bad-ass, I'm sure most of us have seen that television ad for the CanAm Spyder with the shots of the guy riding it trying to look bad-ass or something, but mostly something. Made we cringe. Bad-ass can only be done on H-D or vintage Brit.

IMO a bike like the Kawasaki H1 Mach III is far more bad ass than any Harley could ever be. I don't see how today's Harley is bad ass at all; it's a 2 wheel equivalent of a Buick with clientele to match. Harley's bad ass days ended when they stopped making the shovel. As for the Vintage Brit bikes, yes they are totally cool! :2thumbup:

You know, the guys who wear "colors" and do stuff like throw kegs through the windshields of cop cars. These are the guys who are often referred to as "pirates". The Can Am Spyder ad had this guy who looked like he was trying to cop some of that vibe or something like Can Am was trying to pitch a little of the outlaw vibe. It was kind of creepy in a weird way. At least it was to me.
So I need to buy more bikes is how I translate that?
what did I leave out?
