Reminds me of this one...

HARLEY DAVIDSON FACES STIFF COMPETITION FROM JOHNSON MARINE WHO INTRODUCES A NEW LINE OF MOTORCYCLES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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's 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 that 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, a Big Johnson, is what Harley buyers are really after." At the unveiling of the new line Monday, several current Harley owners agree. "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 $20,000 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 20 grand on another one of those Harleys, but 20 grand to get him a Big Johnson? Well, that's something we could both enjoy, and it's something he really needs."

Carla Roundheel, manager of the dealership network now being established, said her motto is simple. "I service what we sell."

Big Johnson Motorcycles will be traded on the New York stock exchange under the abbreviation PNSNV.

sadly my wife told me that she no longer has any desire to ride on my bike ( AT FIRST I WAS EXCITED, get rid of passenger pegs and put on solo seat) however if a get a BIG JOHNSON,I wonder if it will bring back some desire to ride.

DAMN, but that battery spins that engine! TB

Damn, I have neither a Big Crank nor a Big Johnson nor a Harley. I have heard that a Harley will cause numbness if combined with a Big Johnson. Where does that leave me with my Honda? Embarassed

I knew a girl once who said the same thing. Razz

She also said that it ran really good after that and gave her a great ride. She say that she was so impressed that she ended up riding it a bit hard and was a little sore afterwards. Wow

I keep my big crank going all winter long even when it gets cold.
You know that if you don't tend your big crank properlly it can loose it juice when you don't want it to.
I know that some of you have some weak F'ers out there and you cannot keep you big crank going. No problem sometimes you have to use a non natural way to get that big crank going again. There are many alteranatives out there. Some that plug into you wall outlets, and some that are even solar powered. But I am not sure the solar powered ones will handle a big crank. At least not when it's lost it mojo. So you will need somthing stronger for sure.

But I like the natural method of keeping mine warm and active in my favorite F.
I don't know about you?

Oh one more thing. Be carefull how you put your big crank into your favorite F. If you put it in backward you F may not approve, and blow a fuse.

Now you be careful with those aftermaket additives, especially those ones that warn against your Big crank overcharging after 4 or more hours of non-use .
Don't wanna strip your gears you know!
And most important of all never let your Big crank near carpet tiles , you could lose you Big Crank in a hurry !
