With all of the heated debates going on lately, I thought I would start a thread on a nice neutral topic.

What is the ugliest motorcycle ever to come out of a factory?

wydeglyde · ‎10-14-2005

It would have to be a certain 6 cylinder Honda. ]:)

You mean the one that's all covered up in plastic? 😉

bazango · ‎10-14-2005

Prelude?

b-bop · ‎10-14-2005

Any bike that is that "electric blue" or what ever Honda calls that color they put on the GoldWing. Hurts my head.

Correction! I meant the Screamin' Eagle Road Glide, not the Tour Glide.

wydeglyde · ‎10-14-2005

Sorry 6packsteel, i couldn't resist. 😉 You can dish it out, but guess ya can't take it. I get accused here many times of only liking Harleys which is bullchips. I rode a GL1100 for 15 years and loved it. Truth is, I just couldn't see myself on a 1500 let alone the 1800's. Nice enough bikes and popular as hell, but too enclosed for my taste.

I actually love my Roadglide because it is different and a little quirky. Couldn't care less what most anyone else thinks.

Now relax, take a breath and tell us a bit about yourself, where you live and ride. It's been a little quiet and boring around here for about 80? days. Welcome to the blvd.

btw, have you seen those gawd awful fairings and bags they are putting on Valks?

80 DAYS?!! Geez, you Canadians must be on a different calendar! We had more action in the last 8 days on the BLVD than the last four years! Poor pinks didn't know who to slap next!

Dang, it actually felt pretty good!

dodogas · ‎10-14-2005

Geez I remember when I got on here and my welcome...

I mentioned a particular model Honda 6 and got jumped all over.. one comment.... what do you know anyway!!

The whole point... you never do know what anyone posting actually does know, some would be surprised!!

trident_t150 · ‎10-14-2005

LOL, dodogas, you don't know the half of it. As an original member of the Blvd, I can still remember my first official "pink slap," when I used a term that is universally used to describe motorcycles made in a certain SE Asian country....

Sure wish Harleyglasses would have been around, to post his picture 139 from his Memphis thread...

dodogas · ‎10-14-2005

To clarify, I got jumped all over by regulars not sharing my view.. no pink slap involved..

Point is dont post on an ugly bike thread if you cant handle seeing what you ride being mentioned..

Without a doubt it would be the short lived Excelsior-Henderson Super X. Truly a study in homelyness.
Amen,

trident_t150 · ‎10-14-2005

Now cyoung, how could you criticize a beautiful bike like this?

The Super X had the most fascinating set of springer springs at idle - they were just a blur. Test driving both the Super X and the Road King, one right after the other, I much prefered the Super X. Too bad the Hanlon's ran the company and the 100 million of Minnesota tax dollars right into the ground.

bazango · ‎10-15-2005

Did I miss something? Were some posts pulled? Who's pack6steel? Seems vaguely familiar...

dodogas · ‎10-15-2005

I think somebodies Chain got Pulled!!:^O

Or maybe their Shaft got twisted..?:|

bazango · ‎10-15-2005

Lucky the didn't get their crank KICKED.

BTW, trident: Dang, it actually felt pretty good!

I always suspected you were a little bit... y'know...:^O
