How do all the Hardly Ableson owners feel about your "crotch rocket/jap bike"
Congrats on the job!!
FBI...
I'm suggesting that you change that to Japanese bike. Some people here may not realize, but Jap is considered to be a derogatory and offensive word and don't like it...especially me.
I'm asking nicely that you change it.
Sorry Sir. Just came back into this thread. Figure I should explain my usage of the terminology. It in no way excuses what I said, but. You must understand I in no way meant any harm by it. It was meant to address the rift in motorcycle culture her in America between Hardly owners, and basically everyone else.
If you notice I placed the word crotch rocket and Japanese bike in quotes. I wanted to show that I was quoting one of 10s of 1000s of Hardly owners. I here that phrase on a very regular basis over here, as I just so happen to ride one of said bikes. When you hear something said repeatedly, its easy to forget exactly how much weight even the simplest of words can carry. For that I apologize
I in no way meant it as a derogatory term towards people of Japanese decent. It is on the other hand a derogatory term used for motorcycles of Japanese origin.

Now back to your regularly scheduled tomfoolery.
