Hey all,
All my riding buddies ride Harley's and I am the only one that rides a metric. So, I get pranked on almost every trip. The last one was waking up to a pile of rice under my bike. Well, this weekend we are heading to a rally and I wanted to see if anyone had any good ideas that I can pull on my buddies.
Kitty litter has already been done.

Get a small container of oil and put some under their bikes on the ground.

Some oily, grimey nuts and couple of old chain links sprinkled around and under
Maybe make a casting with all those in like one of those "fake vomit" gags. And just toss the thing under the bike.
Would look like a big pool of oil with Harley parts in it.
Damn. Probably could sell millions of 'em

Show 'em the receipt for what you paid for yours?  Put some limburger cheese in the cooling vents of the engine... (Might be TOO evil) (Or just drop some limburger cheese in their saddlebag, should be just about as effective...) (Or some dead fish in the saddlebag would be pretty... aromatic... as well) Get some Made in Japan (Or even better, China) tags of some sort, on a magnet, and stick 'em on their bikes in various places... If you're REALLY after 'em, could build a remote controlled bike and do something like this:

Get a 1/2 " or 5/8 bolt and cut the head off, carry some silicone sealant and put a little dab on the bolt head and stick it right in the center of the front tire, and watch the expression. It will fall off first time the tire moves, so will not harm any thing. Did it to a buddy that had just had a new tire mounted the previous day, he had a fit, thought the tire was trashed. Once her found out what I did, he thought it was funny also, but I am still waiting for a payback.

After a 15 mile ride thru the washboard dirt roads of Custer State Park to find some bison to leer at, I told the HD group that my wife just told me she finally understood why women like Harleys.

All good! Thanks for the suggestions. One of the guys just got new tires, so the bolt head for sure is going to be done. And, I'll throw in a little syrup and spare parts for added effect. Hee Hee!

At the appropriate time, say in a concerned voice..... "Dudes, there's something wrong here, don't you hear it? It sounds like your bikes are only running on two cylinders."
It is also noteworthy that in a pinch, a Hog can be worked on with metric tools, but SAE tools will not work on the Valk. So you've got them covered with your tool kit. My tools have been used on Hogs (and one BMW) more than my Valk.

Somewhere (I need to find the link - help anyone?) is a site that clearly shows/explains that there are fewer American parts on a Harley than a GoldWing. I'm sure your buddies would love to read that.
Or...see if you can't find somebody with a few extra old non-working cell phones. Give them to the Harley guys and when they say "what is this for?" tell them to give you a call when they need a tow from the side of the road.

Sorta, kinda on the same "pranks" idea... I'm a fulltime firefighter and once in a while we have a few extra moments to relax. Well a brother firefighter once took all of the raisins out of a fellow-brother's box of raisin bran cereal! Not only that, he evenyually put them back into the fellow's Cheerio's several weeks later! Hope it makes someone smile! Larry in East China Mi.

We used to spray each other with nitro spray, make beds into bunk beds, suran wrap doorways & toilets, turn sirens on in their off ambulance, move their ambulance to different parking lots when they would go grab lunch, boot polish on binoculars, KY door handles, and list goes on and on! |
