1. At least he's sitting on a Harley
Maybe he'll want to send their manufacturing plants over to China?

5. What the hell is wrong with Chimpy in the fourth picture?
Edited on Wed Aug-16-06 05:11 PM by CottonBear
The fifth picture seems to show the Harley guys applauding Chimpy for being able to get on the bike. :(

What a supreme idiot. :(

6. Well, now, remember what happened when he got on a segway!
I've never heard a Harley billed as 'impossible to turn over'!

32. Too bad he couldn't play "dress up" and had to wear that suit...
but after all he said three times in his Tuesday Press Conference "what was the next part to your question, I'm 60." :eyes:

7. Why don't his socks match his pants? Surely someone can set out the
right clothes for him if he doesn't know how to do it.

9. I see they made the dumb fuck wear safety glasses
Must be afrid he will fall of and poke an eye out. Those Harly guys are smarter than they look.

By the way, did you know that 90% of all Harleys ever made are still on the road?

The rest actually made it home.

12. Hasn't he taken a few tumbles off that little bike he rides around
his dude ranch? He would freak out on a real bike - too much like the planes he was afraid of in National Guard training.

16. Oh God!
Look for Harley Davidson to go bankrupt soon.

If I owned a company and saw this asshole heading in my direction, I'd run for the hills.

in Milwaukee.

26. I hope he takes up riding Harleys instead of bicycles...
Since he falls off bicycles so much, perhaps there is hope...

31. Hell, they're applauding him for not falling off
or otherwise hurting himself or others... And no doubt, his physician was right there onhand, just as he is when Chimpy rides his bike (with helmet, wrist and knee guards, etc...)

The boy ain't right.

37. Is that any way to mount a bike?
I'm not a motorcycle person, I'm a horse person, but the few times I've gotten on one of the things I've swung my leg over the back like I would a horse. Getting on the thing the way Chimp is doing seems not only ungraceful but likely to put you off balance.

Chimp picks his knee up oh so daintily. You can't see his left hand but is it possible someone's holding it to keep him from tottering over and crashing into the bike.

Dear me, how embarrassing.
