HD beware ...Big Johnson is here
Buddy of mine posted this earlier today....
Looks like Harley is going to have some North American competition:
At a press conference late Monday, the CEO of Johnson Marine, makers of Johnson outboard marine engines and other recreational equipment, unveiled a new line of heavyweight cruiser style motorcycles designed to compete head to head with industry leader Harley-Davidson. Peter Long, Johnson brands marketing manager said, "We have studied the market and determined that Harley, while highly successful, has narrowly missed the mark when targeting motorcycle buyers". Long added, "We, at Johnson, are convinced our product hits the target dead center and promises to draw sales away from Harley-Davidson in a way no other motorcycle has been able to accomplish". The new line of bikes, marketed under the name 'Big Johnson Motorcycles', will, according to Long, deliver what Harley has only promised. "Our research show that this, "Big Johnson" is what Harley buyers are really after". At the unveiling of the new line Monday, several current Harley owners agreed. "When I bought my Harley, what I really needed was a Big Johnson", said one Harley owner." But I see now that riding a Harley is no replacement for having a Big Johnson." Manager Long also said that his company would follow the lead of Harley-Davidson and cash in on a huge market for non motorcycle related products. "We realize that not every guy can have a Big Johnson", said Long, "But image is very important to people. If they don't have a Big Johnson, they at least want to project the image of having one." Asked if he anticipated Big Johnsons showing up in the hands of Harley owners, Long said it was unlikely. "I just don't see the need to have a Harley if you have a Big Johnson", he said. "And I can't imagine someone who spends all their resources to acquire a Harley having a Big Johnson. I think it boils down to this - You either have a Harley, or you have a Big Johnson, but you are not likely to have both. "Given the choice", said Long. " I think most guys will opt for the Big Johnson". Another force driving sales for the company will come from women. A survey of the wives and girlfriends of nearly 1,000 potential motorcycle buyers indicates less than 5% would approve of their partner spending $15,000 on a Harley Davidson. But, when asked if they would be willing to pay the same amount of money to get their partner a Big Johnson, nearly 4 out 5 thought that would be money well spent. One female present at the product unveiling was quoted as saying, "There is no way I will let Lonnie drop 15 grand on another one of those Harleys, but 15 grand to get him a Big Johnson? Well, now that's something we could both enjoy and it's something he really needs.
Funny shit!!!! Well....unless you are like these two?

This is a total bullshit article! I could pull anything up about buying a “dick” boat as you have referenced them many times to me. Why do you have to always bash Harley riders just because you ride an Indian? Are you going out to buy a “ Big Johnson” yourself? Because if you are thinking about then then that makes your whole point of being “an Indian rider is superior” invalid. Why bash what people ride? Why not just have a brotherhood or sisterhood of just riders? People that enjoy 2 wheels and want the wind in their face! Why does it always have to be about a brand? It’s a bunch of bullshit! I ride a Harley, yes on the back for now but will own my own soon. I don’t bash Indian riders or Honda riders or ever Kawasaki riders, because we all RIDE, for the love of riding! Doesn’t matter what brand is between your legs if you do it because you LOVE it! I say if you want a “big Johnson then go to your doctor and get some pills!
Crazy response #2 from Indian off the deep end girl
I got an Indian as a Valentines day present. Still have it. I had a Harley sold it bought an Indian .Still have both Indians, I bought another Harley ... Sold it bought another Indian, still have it too. I bought the last Harley I will ever own & sold it 6 months later... biggest piece of shit ever LOL . Sooooo I bought another Indian & Still have it too A true biker knows which is the best because they will keep them and sell the rest. Indians-4 Harleys-0
HARLEY is a JOKE! If you want to ride go with the Indian .if you want to pay money every 500 miles on service fee and parts and labor so you dont fuck up the warranty buy a Harley. You won't regret it. PS I still have my first Motorcycle 1972 HONDA & still 0 harleys.
