Ms. Bassett,
As
I don't remember ever getting any of the inbred Davidson's boys' names
wrong in what I write (or in what I have written over the last
twenty-five years) I did a quick Google search of my website and yes,
indeed, there actually is a page on my website which mentions a guy
named Andrew Davidson and on that page he is indeed mentioned as being
one of the original founders of HD ...
Strange
that a mistake like that could have been made; however, the mistake
that you are referring to is in an article called "Will Harley-Davidson
Hit the Wall?" This article was written by John Helyar for
Fortune Magazine. The article in question was not written by me
for my website nor was I asked to proofread the article before it was
submitted for publication to Fortune Magazine; the article was merely
shared as a courtesy to the large portion of American society who, like
me, believe that HD is for spastic retards, SPED dropouts, and clueless
people who have a large amount of disposable income but lack two brain
cells that they could rub together.
In fact, the article isn't even located on my website, I merely shared a link away to it.
What I found curious was that the
date of the article you reference is August 12, 2002 so not only are
you shouting at the wrong person, you're also about thirteen years too
late to bring this mistake to anyone's attention (at least anyone who
actually cares ...) and in doing so, I guess you're a lot like Harley
Davidson itself ... a whole lot of noise being made but nothing of any
real substance all the while managing to be years behind everyone else.
And ... not wanting to leave well enough alone, Ms. Bassett thought it was a good idea to send me another angry email.

Ms. Bassett,
Wow!
Someone sure lit the fuse on your tampon, didn't they?
You do realize that you're a stereotype, right?
You
do realize that I'm laughing at you because you've gone out of your way
to personally prove that everything I've ever said about Harley owners
is true.
So,
I reply to you and you think that I'm being really tough?
You make an erroneous accusation, I correct you on the matter and
that equates with being "tough" in your mindset?
Hmmm.
If
I care to remember, you're the one who contacted me in the first place,
with your
panties all bunched up in a wad, over a mistake that wasn't even mine
in an
article that I hadn't even written, an article that wasn't even on my
website and when I reply to you explaining
this you think that's being "tough"? What's even funnier is that
here you are, having had your hand slapped and your face rubbed in your
own stupidity and you reply that because I've called you out on being a
total fucking idiot that I should somehow beware of the Hell's Angels,
that I should forget all about you and never contact you again and then
you call me a "fag"?
Wow.
You
really should have thought twice before you ever hit "send" but then
idiots like you aren't really in the habit of ever doing much thinking
which is why Harley Davidson is in the business of furnishing idiots
with a make-believe lifestyle and big, shiny, noisy toys to draw
attention to losers that would otherwise never get any of the rest of
us to ever notice them.
As
for being wary of my Local 81, I did a search of where I live and the
only Local 81 anywhere near me is a group of unionized plumbers.
Should I be scared of them, Ms. Bassett? Oh, right ... You probably mean Local 81 as in "Hell's Angels".
Nope.
Sorry.
There
are no Hell's Angels Local 81s or club chapters where I live and for what it is worth I
wasn't aware that the Hell's Angels were in the regular habit of
saddling up as a group and riding hell bent for leather to the defense
of blatantly stupid people like you who got their tender little feelings all butthurt out of shape on the
Internet ... In fact, the Hell's Angels are far more likely
to give you the smack-down than me any real trouble simply because you
will have wasted their valuable time on something meaningless and
trivial and proven once again that Harley Davidson owners are complete and utter fucking idiots.
As
for losing your number I'm afraid that I hadn't planned on ever really keeping your number, Ms. Bassett ...
You see, I have a very small, very limited list of people that I call or talk to with any amount of regularity and for you to be included on that list you would have to be a rather exceptional example of the human race, you would have to possess a very high IQ, you'd have to be an original human being and I would have to be interested in actually spending time with you (of which none of these criteria do you meet). Luddites like you aren't worth wasting more than the bare minimum amount of time with and you're really not very useful other than to make fun of or to display as an example to others what Harley owners are really like.
Thank you, Ms. Bassett, for proving me right once again in my opinion of you and your kind.
