Pansies on Indians in Ralph Lauren advertising, wretch time.

[Nads]

What is it with this shit? I'm having a coniption fit. I open the wife's new issue of Elle Decor, because I'm a fag interior decorator at heart. Immediately upon opening it I see some broad (95lbs max) sitting astride an old Indian Chief, behind her is her similarly weightless beau in a fucking pinstriped POLO suit. Do they look like they're ready to go riding? Hell no! Do they look like they're fixing to make mad monkey love with each other's meatless skeletal bodies? Equally no!
So what the fuck are they doing?
Who's fooled by this?
What's going on here?

Lookit, this is what I'd do if I were loaded. I'd buy me an Indian Chief and park it in front of some trendy model infested bar, put a sign on it that reads, "If any male model can start this bike and ride it around the block and back, they can fucking have it."
How much do you wanna bet it'll still be mine hours later?
As far as I'm concerned these two people befouled a sacred piece of Americana simply by touching it. They should stick to looking pretty and posing on things they can operate.

FWIW, I don't know how to ride an Indian but I'd be willing to learn.

Rant over.

Nads, white people have been taking advantage of our native americans since the 1400's. It's not gonna stop just because you are disturbed by a couple of white people sitting astride a native american in a magazine ad. You need to write your legislative representative in warshington.

hey nads, remember that magazine that lisa had from the salon with all the pictures from the nyc rumblers show? that is pretty brutal with the models on the indian, i'll have to see if my girlfriend has some fag magazine with that add in it.

put em' on a vespa, not a real piece of machinery.

ive been telling you people,the worlds coming to an END..

nobody listens though....

[badpat]

just wait till badpat kustom goes big, i'll have junked out homo models with clean 20/50 on their ripped bp shirts, and in the back, some slutty bitches will be wearing hamb shirts to give me street cred. and i will have a drunk guy wearing some of my "Lords of Hellfire(tm)" line

[D Picasso]

'wretch', as synonomous to barf, puke, heft, toss, etc., is spelled 'retch'.

well, what the hell...you want they should be sitting on a board with nails in it?
put 'em on an OCC chopper- their target demographic wouldn't know the difference.

[Sam F.]

actually,funny the topic of early indians comes up,i was talking to some biker fellow the other day telling me about "so-and-so" who just sold a late 30's indian cuz he couldnt start it and ride it properly which got me to thinking about it,aparrently you have to manually advance the magmneto and fuck with the throttle on these early indians. sounds like a bitch,but the fucking thrill of riding a prewar indian would of made my ass learn to ride that fucker quick....

[Zor]

von tingler,
don't get me started on that Von Dutch shit. ever time i see some fag on tv wearin a Von Dutch trucker hat or flyin eyeball t-shirt i just cringe. i was watching the morning news the other day and some fag that used to be on saved by the bell was announcing some upcoming music awards in a Von Dutch t-shirt. i almost vomited right then and there. it is a total fucking digrace of his name.

[plan9]

saw a PT cruiser commercial the other night, the music was *american idol* calibre, and at the end there was lame looking pinstripes with flames.... welcome to the buisness world, where nothing is sacred if it pulls a profit.

[badpat]

shirts (http://www.vonsuck.com) not my shirts, but cool

[Impala53]

Who's fooled by this crap? The majority wouldn't know the difference between a new Indian and a restored Indian from the 40s. That pinstriped POLO suit would be soiled just takin' it around the block, if you started it for him that is.
What's going here? I don't know, but it is pathetic and phoney and all you can do is laugh.
...and yes, that bike would still be yours an hour later.

Very funny!!!! How wrong is it that my dad used to own a 1947 Indian Chief? He sold it when it got too difficult to ride http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif All his friends were riding newer models, so he sold the Indian and got a new one- it wasn't the same so the new one just sits gathering dust cause it's not as fun to ride as the old one.

Read in the quoted text this is extremely funny to me (no disrespect to any Native Americans (my wife is a quarter Sioux- and I'm not tired of "riding" her). No Native Americans were hurt in this post.

[SamIyam]

I think it'd be cool to buy an Indian too... and I sure as hell would also have to be stoned to park it in front of a bar and put a sign on it like you said... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Sam.

Was there a Naked Guy(tm) on the Indian?...Germ and I need to know.

[/ QUOTE ]starting my 1931 Indian is no different or harder than starting my 1942 Harley---or any other. Of course you retard the timing---same as when starting a stock Model A

[Kevin Lee]

Rocky - I was picturing the same thing you were until I finally saw the word "bike" in the last paragraph. I laughed out loud when I saw your response. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Speaking of homos and traditional vehicles, the newest issue of Rolling Stone has a picture of a primer highboy Tudor with one of the latest groups of fagpunks*, Good Charlotte in it. If you have a primer highboy Tudor, lay off the mascara, lest you be mistaken.

* there must be a better term than "fagpunks" for them, like something without the word "punk" in it, Germ?

[Rocket Scientist Chris]

Yes, I saw that picture in my Elle Decor last night, too. It's kind of depressing, but I'm pretty sure I out weigh the woman by a good 60lbs! The one cool thing in the mag is the ad for Elmira Stove Works out of Canada (elmirastoveworks.com). They are producing retro styled appliances like refrigerators and stoves with new inards! The refrigerators have a nice 50's look to them, but unfortunately they priced a bit high. Around $2800! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
