It's the maniacal "ahhhhaaha" at the end that really set this one off for me. I can imagine a greasy maniac spinning donuts in his ex's driveway while railing to the heavens about his hog.

Actually, I'm more offended that you imply I like to watch rednecks drive around in a circle for three hours because I ride a sportster.

I worked on a user-submitted public message board thing like this while I was in graduate school, and literally the first question the powers-that-be had was "what system are you going to use to filter it for acceptable content?"

I mean, come on. They really couldn't see this outcome?

Sure am enjoying what's going up there, though.

This is what happens when marketing doesnt talk to IT, or really anyone from any department with any sense.

I can see the pitch now "We filter Twitter hashtags into the site, and Twitter writes the copy for us!!!"

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

I watched the little video they had and it's kind of funny how they didn't even have enough "non-stereotypical" Harley riders for 60 seconds of film. Yeah, they've got the gourmet chef and the 3rd grade music teacher, but there's a policeman, an army guy, a "rock star", and my favorite, a random suburban dude with his toddler daughter who calls himself "Lone Wolf".

(Note, I know a number of cool dudes with Harleys and I don't have anything against the bikes or riders in general, but I am definitely going to make fun of H-D's lovely :911: marketing campaign)

Hey, have you guys heard about the new Harley Dyna-Beads? It claims to be a Harley with an excellent chassis and a world-beating motor that weighs in at less than 170kg.

Sadly, there's zero scientific evidence for any of this. :colbert:

That could be goon marketing at work, and shame on you for not recognising this

Guess he needs a sidecar or something though. This may make it more sad, but perhaps not in the way you thought?

I wouldn't mind a Harley - solely because no women have asked for a ride on my giant nerd GS bike.

Huh. Never heard of that book. Mr. Lone Wolf in the video does have what appears to be a neckbeard, so...

This sort of counteraction is pretty common with twitter hashtag campaigns (especially the political ones) but usually they make sure to keep it flooded by friendly sockpuppets to keep it on message
