Mr. Honda would not be pleased...

I was in a Honda Motorcycle dealership on Saturday that was a little different. This was a dealership that carries two lines that just should not be placed in the same showroom. It's one thing to go to a Moto-Guzzi/Aprilia/Ducati Dealer, or a Suzuki/Yamaha Dealer, or evan a Triumph/BMW Dealer, but this place was a Honda/Harley Davidson Dealer. And it wasn't pretty. All I can think is how Mr. Honda would be furious at his good products being sold along side those other things. Probably about as happy as Dr. Porsche would be at seeing his good name placed upon an SUV.

Don't forget Dr. Porsche made a version of the Tiger 2 Tank (in parallel production with Henschel) and many components to other tanks for the German Army. So you can say the Porsche SUV came before the sports car. A better analogy would be more like Inzo Ferrari getting pissed off about placing the prancing horse on a Mule Cart.
You are treading on thin ice in the land of loud motorcycles and their tattoo clad riders with this comment. They might call you a Honda Nazi, but little do they know that you are truly a BMW Motorcycle Nazi at Heart. :)

So you're probably really enjoying the Hell's Angels right now, aren't you? We sent you some cops. No need to send them back. :-)

The Hells Angels convention was actually pretty quiet. We had law enforcement here from several surrounding states, as well as the various Federal alphabet agencies and Homeland Security.
