Market Street, USA: “Orlando Harley-Davidson, Florida, USA”
Tuesday, September 25th, 2012The Loudest Motorcycle in San Francisco is a Newish Harley-Davidson
Monday, August 2nd, 2010They say that, “Straight Pipes Save Lives.”
But I don’t think so. I think what they do is needlessly set off car alarms and shake the ribcages of nearby peds, you know, the way this modified, mufflerless, motosickle does.

“Pocket Bike” Motorcycle Gang Terrorizes Irving Street Quickly, Sunset District
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009These cruiser-style minibikes roared up and down Irving Street in the Middle Sunset, causing a few sensitive pedestrians to cover their ears. How wude! But it was just like The Wild One with bad boy Marlon Brando and goode girl Mary Murphy right in front of the Quickly, except in color, and with frogurt instead of beer.
Why not get one for yourself? Just 300-something bones will get you started.

Get Yourself a Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King and Become King of the Road
Saturday, April 18th, 2009This is what you need: a Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King Motorcycle. Your Big Twin should have a TV, be very orange and utilize a Popeye and Bluto theme.

The Aging, Unreliable Harley Davidsons of the 100 Year Old SFPD Motor Division
Sunday, March 8th, 2009These cops of the 100-year old Motor Division of the San Francisco Police Department waited all morning for a recent Roe v. Wade abortion demonstration / counter-demonstration to get started and then were, once again, left in the lurch by an obsolete-when-built Harley Davidson motorcycle.
So all they could do is push it onto the sidewalk and worry about it later - unreliable equipment is no picnic, of course. That must be why they get paid the big bucks to ladle out bowls of rich, creamy justice, with the average officer pulling down a six-figure income.
Harley David/ son of a bitch, not again! Click to expand:
Even if you maintain these old-school Harleys correctly, they are hard to keep on the road. The biggest selling pointa they have are tradition and heritage, it seems. Vendors of reliable models from Honda, Kawasaki, and BMW must be frustrated… Oh well.
Happy Centennial, SFPD Motor Division!
Page Street Cyclist Gets Ticketed By The Man – Another SFPD Enforcement Action?
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Here was the scene this morning during the A.M. drive – a cyclist getting ticketed by a motorcycle officer. Don’t know the details of this particular incident, but it wouldn’t be hard for you to find cyclists blowing stop signs or red lights at any intersection in San Francisco.
Individual officers sometimes get on a kick and issue tickets for the same type of infraction over and over all day. If you get cops acting together, as sometimes happens, then you’d call it an enforcement action. They could go after drivers who roll through stop signs, or pedestrians who jaywalk – you never know.
Harley Davidson of a bitch! Yet another ticket from a Dudley Perkins-motosickle-riding buckethead.
Some would like to see Page become the Page St. Bicycle Boulevard - this would allow cyclists to maintain speed. Traffic circles were tried before, but those things proved unpopular.
Leave us turn to Idaho for the answer – stop signs mean “stop” for drivers but mean “yield” for cyclists:
TITLE 49
MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 7
PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES
49-720. STOPPING — TURN AND STOP SIGNALS. (1) A person operating a
bicycle or human-powered vehicle approaching a stop sign shall slow down and,
if required for safety, stop before entering the intersection.
What’s wrong with California having a similar law?
