Wisconsin kicks in $4M for Harley growth

With the kind of money that harley "The Corporation" makes, why should the state have to kick in any kind of money for anything? Corporate welfare ho's.

Because it is what it is. Every State is trying to steal each others business. If Wisconsin doesn't offer Harley $$$$ some other state will and bye bye Wisconsin.

I say good riddance, i wish they would leave, the bikes are ridiculously loud and fall apart every 1000 or so miles, yes ive owned three. I spent more time working on my bikes than i did ridding them. Now that i live in town i cant stand the machines, every night at bar close, 1-2AM i get to listen to them and feel them as they drive down my street, i never knew what i put people through with mine. Why these vehicles are allowed to be so loud is beyond me since i cant put glass packs on my car. You would think people would have enough common sense to not throttle them wide open in the middle of town...Although i didnt, i guess it karma

So sad who cares to feel the karma

Harley culture trumps commom sense in Wisconsin.

Good point about the noise. My car can't be that loud.

I also love poker runs. Drunk cops riding bikes on the weekends for "the kids". Can the rest of us do that?

It's a cult of escapism. And don't dare question it in this state.

Thanks to who cares for criticizing the sacred cow. The riders can look and dress however they want(which looks kinda silly sometimes if you ask me!) but when they go by house at 5 in the morning and wake me up, it kinda pisses me off.

How about W-2 for the corporations? If they don't provide good paying jobs with benefits that include health insurance, we cut off their tax breaks. The same goes for WalMart if they want to come to town.

FTW, The Cagers (which looks kinda silly sometimes if you ask me!) with cells in their ear, IT PISSES ME OFF, they don't watch the road and the Rap Crap in their Crap car, WAKE ME UP, FTW.

As you might have read my my column last year in the Chilton Times-Journal "Hollywood Daze" we have the Love Ride every year out here. This past year there were more than a hundred thousand bikers riding from Glendale to Castaic Lake and then beer and bands. All for children. It's funny but 99% of the bikes breaking down on the way are Harleys. But Harley is as American as Ford or Chevy. And Milwaukee is known world wide for Harley. And beer of course. Wisconsin without Harley would be....well it would still be the closest I'll ever get to Heaven but it would be a shame to lose them.

You got that right brother !! Those North Shore Nancy's can kiss my biker butt. Thoses stinking Liberal can't control everything they don't like and don't want anyone else to partake in. If it was up to those pussy's we'd all be eating tofu and walking behind donkeys(save the earth)Ohhhhh,it's to loud, it hurt's my ears.Too bad you little cry babies.Your complaining about everything pisses me off too. What you need is a "Old Fashion" biker ass kicking, that would stop your f%&$#king bi^$hing

Yeah blow me, i grew up around all you a$$holes, buncha drunk drug dealing dickheads. you aint the only ones that live on the planet, how would you like it after you finaly "pass out" from a night of coke and booze one of us come over and setup the biggest speakers we can find and play sh!tty music so loud you wake up, then we will stop and just when you "pass out" again we crank it back up and repeat over and over. i dont do that sh!t to you and i dont want to hear your broken down old a$$ pieces of crap going by my house at 2-4 am. Phuckin wannbe rebel...

This is the year 2006 almost 07 vehicles that drive in populated areas should not be that loud no matter who makes them.

Loud pipes saves lives period! If the cagers would learn to pay attention to the road instead of their makeup, cell phones or eating maybe we wouldn't need the loud pipes to get your attention.

That's such a bunch of bullshit-- like saying I should run baseball cards on my bicycle spokes because I don't know how to ride defensively.

Helmets save lives to but i dont see most of you riding around with them on. If it werent for the motorcycle gangs marching on Madison we would have a helmet law here. All your loud pipes do is piss people off.

You just dont know what the life of a biker is, wake up because we make the world turn FAST !!!!

If you ride then you would know that you have more respect for the bike and road and to whats going on around you when you dont have a helmet on.

you are all ignorant. Loud stuff just irritates people. By the time you hear a harley with pipes at any intersection it's thru the intersection. helmets do sae live and riding without does allow the rider to be more in tune with their surroundings IMO. Good luck buttholesurfers.

I'M JUST TELLIIN' YA WHAT i'VE BEEN TOLD. AND THAT IS "BIKERS SUCK."
