Probably a stupid question but...I'm new to touring bikes as well as owning a H-D and probably look that way when I go into a dealer store. When I'm at a dealer and they ask me what I ride as a general conversation topic it's a mouthful to say a 2010 FLHTCUSE5 or say a CVO Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide, so my question is; what does everyone say that doesn't sound like your an idiot or bragging? Or am I destined to sound like a douche every time someone asks?
-
If the person you talking to knows alot about H-D then say FLHTCUSE5, if they don't know sheeet then just say TOURING model or a ULTRA CLASSIC.
-
I say simply "CVO Ultra". It is what it is, and that ain't bragging

If I'm wearing something that says HD on it and I think the questioner is asking because of that, I say a CVO Wide Glide.

Well, if it's a legit question like "What do you ride?", I say a Screamin' Eagle OR CVO Street Glide.
If it's one of dem "zat a Harley?" questions while they are staring right at it with Harley-Davidson on every piece of the bike. I say nope, it's a Honda. Fooled ya, didn't it :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: ;D :apple: :zroflmao: :zroflmao: :zroflmao:

X2 Then one day Bubba said what's a CVO :nixweiss:
I have actually had that happen. When I said a CVO Ultra the reply was something along the lines of "Oh, I thought it was a Harley, it's purdy but I won't ride nuttin but a Harley" :confused5:
-
Ultra Harly

I say simply a CVO Roadglide, what do you ride?

Prefer my Screamin Eagle Electra Glide, but I'll ride anything with two wheels. What ya got for me? :apple:
-
Chip answers "It depends on the day of the week..." ???
-
A big Harley. If they want more details, I'll tell them.
-
I would say CVO Ultra. Remember it is not bragging when it is the truth!
-
I would say a cvo street glide that's looking more like a cvo ultra every day. :nervous:
-
Them: What do you ride? ???
Me: A Screamin' Eagle Ultra. ;D
Them: Oh. ???
Me: It's a Harley. ;D
Them: OH! Nice. They're really expensive...like $20,000. :-\
Me: Mine was about $40,000 before I started adding things to it. 8)
Them: I didn't know they were that much. :o

:2vrolijk_21: Don't know how many times I've had that conversation.
To answer the OP question, if I'm alone I say CVO Ultra, if Janet's with me I say Geezerglide (she hates that). ::)
-
2010 CVO Ultra Classic
-
I usually answer based somewhat on context; away from the bike, casual questioner, "Harley".
Away from the bike, to a rider, "an Ultra"
To anyone in a HD shirt, "CVO Ultra" (not to boast, just respecting their level of knowledge)
On the bike, the questions are usually either from a total noob "What is it?" "Harley Ultra"
or familiars wanting specifics "What model is that?" "2010 CVO "
Now, to the parts guy, it's usually..."2010 CVO Ultra...Yes...OK..F-L-H-T-C-U-S-E-5. What?, Yes. They DID make one in '10.... here, lemme see your book..."
-
I just tell them that I ride a Road Glide... :nixweiss:
-
I'm a Bat Wing Bagger Pilot.
-
To those that understand the lifestyle, I ride a CVO Ultra. (FINALLY, after all these years!) To the "experts", I ride a Dresser. I like to see that stupid look come on their face, and they say "Uh, whats 'zat?" LMAO! ;) Later--HUBBARD
-
A Harley
-
07 Screamin Eagle Road King
-
If they know anything about Harley I say CVO Ultra, If they no nothing I just try to educate them a little.
-
Bagger
-
Screamin eagle Electra glide or Bagger or simply the Cadillac of all Harley Davidsons
-
Chip answers "It depends on the day of the week..." ???
I do not think so!! I bet he says a BLUE one. wanna bet!!
-
bagger
-
My wife or my girlfriend when she is out of town.
-
Andy would say "depends.....which day of the week?". He's the only guy I know that has a different CVO for a every day of the week. Why do you think his avatar is so confused? :P
-
I normally say a '12 Road Glide... If they ask CVO, I say yes, If they think they are smart and start spouting specs they know nothing about I have funa nd shut them down.
-
Geezer glider, if they want specifics, Harley Touring, if Harley people then CVO Limited
-
A CVO Road Glide. If they want more info than that, I'm happy to talk to them.
After all, we're ambassadors for the sport, and fortunate enough to ride the Kings of the sport!
-
I answer Harley. Some folks ask which model, some don't.

Yup I start very simple as well. If the person is into motorcycling this a great conversation starter!
-
Had to modify my earlier quote a bit considering the recent changes in my ownership status..... :2vrolijk_21:
WHAT!!! :o road glide!!! when, where how !! oh my gosh I need a peek.
-
Harley :nixweiss:
X4 Harley is my most given answer.
If you are actually talking to someone informed they will ask for more specifics.
It is my way of filtering out the less informed.
-
The one with the most gas in the tank.
-
'11 Ultra Classic. I have always felt funny throwing the "CVO" part in there, don't really know why. If "CVO" comes up it usually gets me a strange look like I'm too good for the rest. I think I have been hanging out with the wrong people!
-
Sometimes I just say
"A Lazyboy" or a "Barcalounger"
-
Harley. If they ask for details I say screamin eagle dresser. If they look confused I say a big one. If they don't look confused I make a friend.
-
CVO Street glide

This is where I have fun. :bananarock:
It usually starts if I'm wearing a HD shirt. They ask if I have a Harley. ;D I say no! :P No more questions. :bananarock: :bananarock:

I have gotten asked that question also wearing Harley appeal and I just look at them with a blank stare and say "a what"? Usually they just walk away. David
-
Maybe its because I live 40 mile from the York plant but I get asked all the time if I WORK there, not what I ride. I say yes. Everyone who has a HD shirt works there. Then they have to think. That seems to annoy people. ;D

Bagger

Money Pit. :drink:

In a effort to solve to crappy seat dilemma, I picked up a stock seat from a 2015 Ultra Classic LOW that was removed at purchase and never used.. It did drop me down quite a bit I'm just hoping it doesn't move too far forward... Spring will tell.
That should throw them off
-
2015 CVO Limited
-
That should throw them off
L.M.A.O.
-
I tell 'em, It's a Harley!
And end the conversation with,
"You can buy better, but you won't pay more!!"
Then I walk away and leave them with that goofy look on their face.

New to this site. I just say ultra cvo
-
My reply depends on the demographic...
Sometimes its "Harley"
Sometimes its Road Glide,
Sometimes its "Which one"?
Gotta remember who you're speaking to and what language they speak or understand...
-
I tell them when asked it's a Ultra classic mistress ang the wife let's me ride her as often as I like :D
-
Sometimes I say Harley, if the person asking doesn't know anything much about bikes.
If they know a little about bikes I say Bagger. Or Dresser. Or Touring bike.
If they do know bikes I say CVO Ultra or Screamin' Eagle Ultra, even though HD says it's a CVO Limited.
If they ride a Yamaha Roadstar (or similar) then I get to listen to how somebody just the other day complimented them on their Harley, because their Roadstar (or whatever) looks just like a Harley. Then they wait for my response. And wait. And wait. Then they say something like, well I woulda got a Harley, but my Roadstar/whatever was a lot less $$ than a Harley.
-
Been through most of the above situations and answers. Had this one too.
To the airhead cashier girl who sees me in a helmet, with my bike at the #1 gas pump, right in front of her:
Her: Which pump?
Me: #1
Her: Do you ride a bike?
Me: Yes.
Her: What kind is it?
Me: (Point at "Harley Davidson" on my shirt)
Her: (blank look)
-
Be it the stealership or someone I happen to bump into I always say the same thing when they ask what I ride as it is an accurate description. I tell them "A chrome lawn mower"
-

I was in a biker bar Sunday. About 25 bikes parked outside.
I got asked which bike I was riding by some old bikers.
I said "The candy cherry ultra".
Reply: "The 110. We were just admiring that bike."
If you say FLHTCUSE2 you'll lose very knowledgeable bikers that could take apart and reassemble the bike blindfolded. LOL!
Anything past FLHT is ancillary. Everything else is accessories. ;)
-
Answer is easy. The red one.

I love this quote but to answer your question my go to is " a CVO Ultra" in your case. In my case a CVO Road Glide and so on. Any one worth talking to will get it. If they need more you can give them more. Keep it simple or mess with em big time when you get the chance!

Had another one of those standing at the gas pump minding my own business moments when a guy on a Yamaha cruiser walks over to my bike & says - Nice Harley. I say - Yeah, thanks. Then he proceeds to tell me about people that mistake his bike for a Harley, how he did this or that to make it look more like a Harley, & how it sounds almost exactly like a Harley, etc. etc. etc. I smile & say - That's nice. He fires up & rides off. It doesn't & it didn't.
