As a rider myself, I can categorically say that it's my opinion that no HD
owner actually thinks his bike is "better" functionally than other bikes.

Nowhere did I say "better".

Thank you for pointing out the distinction.

In both cases though, the distinction is that the *personality* of the
person who choose one platform over the other is distinctly different.

HOG vs Beemer vs RICER (totally different personalities & affluence levels)
iOS vs Android (completely different personalities in most cases)

It's sort of like the difference in personality between some guy who asks
What synthetic oil does BMW tell me to put in my bimmer?

Anyone who even *asks* that question should get the answer that you should
only put in LL-01 certified oil (depending on the model year) and nothing
else (which knocks out perfectly good oils simply because they're not
certified).

But a person who asks simply "what oil do you use" gets a different answer,
that has a bit more detail such as API quality levels and SAE viscosity
constraints and cost/composition considerations (given there are multiple
"types" of motor oils that meet API and SAE needs at the base level).

My point is that the iOS user and Android user personality follows the same
pattern that you can tell, from the question, what the user *wants* to hear
as the answer.

One wants to feel "safe" by the answer; the other just wants the correct
answer.

Check your facts. They tried for 6 years and withdrew the application in
2000 claiming it had won in the court of public opinion. They also tried
to trademark the term "Hog" and failed.

Thanks for correcting the trademarking of the distinctive tailpipe sound.
I had always thought that a rather unusual request for respite from
competition.

You need to get out more and check those facts as well instead of
whining in forums with attempted chest thumping of issues your insecure
ego can't handle.

I think my ego is quite secure, but you're welcome to attack my facts.
I learn from what others say and I'm not afraid to state the facts.

The Hog owner *knows* his machine's limitations, unlike the iPhone/iPad
owner.


Yet many inferior souls don't know their limitations of whining levels.

Look above to see who is actually whining.

I presented verifiable facts in my answer to Erilar for example.
Where are yours to support your (completely wrong) answer to Erilar?

WTF? I'm not reading Erilar's replies or disputing anything about the
IOS. I'm calling you out on your pathetic diatribes while cross posting
in a group not even associated with iPhone or electronics for that matter.

If you can't tell us that my facts are wrong, then your answer to her was
dead wrong - and therefore you did her a disservice.

Again, WTF are you talking about? No, forget that. I don't care. You
have issues.

What part of "let it go" do you fail to comprehend? You thumped your
chest with your so called facts about IOS.....BRAVO! Job well done? You
da man! You just don't know when to quit. Fortunately, I do.
