Nailed it. If the HD jokes, bother you - you are probably the reason people make the jokes. I made a joke with a few friends at a pub about the "HD contract requiring people to collect t-shirts". An HD owner/rider got offended so my comment was that "as the person with the least amount of HD shirts at the table, was he contractually required to be offended?". Then he asked me to "step outside" and then the entire table started laughing at him. He was actually serious to want to fight me over it - which made it funnier.
That was fantastic. I love my Harley, but I also cannot get enough of my KLR. I get brand loyalty, but the need for hate eludes me. I love all motorcycles, it is the people with whom I typically take exception. Thanks for the blunt words because sometimes this is what is required. I enjoy your videos, and the podcast may be my favorite currently. Quality content!
Thank you sir! You get brand hatred or dislike, but most comes from people with whom you would think that had the maturity and common sense to not do so! Thank you for your support of the podcast as well!!
What is really cool about the way you stated this Mike, is that a person could bleep out all the metaphors and still get the point your making. I love the community you and the FDBs foster!
I’m playing catch-up on the FDB podcasts and listened to the one about brand hate a few days ago, so true. Over here we Harley owners are the niche weirdos, lol. Almost all bikers give the “nod” as we pass by.
I just want to tell you that I followed the 5 DB podcasts on IG. I went to the podcast and listened to the very first episode.......halfway through I stopped and subbed to all of you. I’m an instant fan......and I’m a POS Dyna rider. Lol. Love you guys!!
At the end of the day, all that matters is that we are motorcyclists! Doesn’t matter what you ride, love for the community and people in it are the only golden rules. Thank you for listening, subscribing, and commenting!!!
Well said Mike. I ride a Harley... I ride a Dyna.... breathe breathe... lol. But I love anything with two wheels. I have an upcoming video about brand loyalty/hate and how it’s a major a fault in people. You have to have an open mind.
To have that way of thinking would be the same logic of thinking everyone should have the same brand and size shoe. That really is a waste of brain cells to believe in a so called "standard" of motorcycling. Each person's preference and need is different.
Hey Corey!! I basically just made the video to get a laugh or two! Most bikers are very open to other bikes and brands, it’s just those select few whom I speak about in the video, that have the issues. It’s more about making it a mental awareness not to be a complete dick!!! 😂🤣
I definitley feel owning a Harley is an accomplishment for me, and up until last year I didn't even have any friends on Harleys, they were on imports 😂
I ride a Sportster & I love the Harley wisecracking, I don’t get butt hurt. I’ve had two GSXR 750’s, awesome bikes, my son has a Ninja 400, another awesome bike as I love all bikes. Those hardcore idiots bust on Sportsters for some reason when they all started on one, I don’t get it. Don’t change a thing, enjoying your channel!
Thank you very much Sir! No one likes a hater, and if someone does, they are probably a hater themselves... I’m very happy for the members of the Motorcycling community that have come together as one. We all can get along, learn from one another, and grow the community by being outgoing and supportive of everyone!!!
Yep spot on mate. In 2011 I bought a Victory because for me it was a better bike than the Harley. You should have seen the way the Harley riders completely lost their minds!!! I just don’t get it, the big joke is most of them ride Dynas so they wouldn’t know a good bike if it jumped up and bit them on the arse!!!
FDB shirts that say "If you don't want to change then fuck off!" Might just catch fire. That brand loyalty shit is lame. I have a Harley a Honda and a Kawi cruiser in my stable. So many different enjoyable experiences left out of your life to cup corporate nuts ain't my cup of hotdog water. Keep it dirty y'all
Abso-freakin-lutely! I like and respect all brands. My heart is with Harley, but all brands have amazing bikes. All the chest thumping egomaniacs out there who like to brand hate may, "Go forth and ingest a satchel of Richards." Or perhaps, they can "Go fornicate themselves and the albino steed upon which they arrived." 😆 I always say "ride what makes you smile."
Nailed it.

Oh you gotta love the really serious and hardcore HD guys... they love being the butt of EVERY Harley joke!! 😂🤣

Thank you Sir, and Thank You for the support!!
I've never really understood brand loyalty or brand hate, especially with bikes, all bikes are aces! :D
Well said!!
Now if people don’t understand that they can’t be helped!!!!! I’ll ride with you anytime on any bike!
Well said and this is probably the best motorcycle video on the platform! Merry Christmas Mike!

At least you get a nod!! In the states, if you’re not riding a Harley, the riders are so tough and badass, they can’t wave to imports...😂🤣
@@WetBananaMike ha, we are the imports, lol.

Couldn’t agree more!
So was I the only one who imagined that was the world's smallest violin playing in the background?
I ride a Honda and I have brothers that ride Harleys. There is no judgement between us.
I love motorcycles
Me too Sir!!! Me Too!!!!
Well said brotha 👊🏻. Spoken like a true gentleman 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. What do they call us that have all types??? Am I a self hater 🤔🤔.
Multicultural I think is the correct term!!! 😂🤣
@@WetBananaMike lol I think my wife calls it indecisive. 😂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

We all know Triumph is the only brand that puts out quality bikes.....well at least until 1983!
This was a great vid bro. BTW nice bikes
Well said !!! I agree 110%. New sub here..... cheers !
Thank you!!

Had to be said, well done.
You can't fix stupid.......
Nope, but it’s sad that a video had to be made just for the less knowledgeable to realize that for themselves!!! 😂🤣
