Safety at a Harley Biker Bar

[Johnj]

Yep, that's the one.

LOL.. is that true? AMF that used to own Harley-Davidson is the same AMF that owns Bowling Alleys?

AMF was quite a powerhouse in its heyday; they were involved in NASA space projects, made bombs and other munitions for the US military, large scale food processing eqiupment and systems, etc, etc. But when they purchased Harley, it became the one product line they were most recognised by (with the bowling alley equipment a close second).

They are listed as still being in various industries but I always associate AMF with bowling equipment first...

Eat, drink, and be merry, and park wherever you darn well please.

When I pull into the parking lot riding my Japanese Scooter of the local HD Biker Bar should I park next to the full custom HD, or should I park next to the std. 883 HD Sportster?

Does this bar somehow say it is specifically for Harley riders only or is it just frequented by Harley riders in general? By “Biker Bar” do you mean it is somehow gang affiliated in some way? If not park where you like and make some new friends. If it is, go elsewhere for your food and drinks.

I have learned from past experiences that many HD Owners take offence of a "rice burner" parked next to their HD

I don't know of anyone that insecure.

Funny thing, the first time I saw AMF and Harley together, the first thing that came to my mind was bicycles and basketballs... Voit was a big part of AMF for a long time as well...

AMF, not AFM. AMF = American Machine and Foundry

Every time I see that name I think "Bowling Alley" (which I know they own) and couldn't picture them owning H-D or running it.

LOL.. is that true? AMF that used to own Harley-Davidson is the same AMF that owns Bowling Alleys? I bowl 5 and 10 pin and never made the connection. !

Actually I read somewhere that the Indian (the nation, not the bike buider) Car company Tata was actively looking into buying up HD. If they did so, would that not make HD's Curry Cookers????

[RhadamYgg]

Tata motors is apparently growing. They purchased Jaguar. I've always liked Jag, but I think Ford screwed them up and if I could actually afford one, knowing that it was a Tata would be a bit of a turn off. It would be funny if they purchase HD. Curry is no joking matter either.

Yeah ceemes, you know better than to joke about curry! Make a joke about it today, it burns your o-ring tomorrow!
