New Harley Owner Starting To Get Used To All The Vultures Circling Every Time The Bike Idles
The proud new owner of a Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycle is finally getting used to the creepy vultures that circle every time the bike idles.
“At first, I wasn’t sure why they followed me around like that – always looking eager for a good, imminent meal,” said Jordan Powell, owner of a motorcycle with less than 1000 miles on the motor. “But now I’ve actually named them: You got Rasher and Cancer and Plantar and Ickxen. Vomet and Goopid and Donar and Blisterin. All led by Ewdolph.”
Vultures are known for using smell, sight, and auditory cues to indicate potential foraging opportunities, making Harley-Davidsons an irresistible target.
“We can’t exactly pinpoint what it is about Harley-Davidsons that attracts these scavengers, but we have narrowed it down to three possible cues,” said Dr. Nathan Cate, local ornithologist. “It’s either A) the fact that their motors sound like they’re about to kick the bucket at any moment, B) the fact that if an animal leaked blood like a Harley leaks oil, it would be dead in under an hour, or C) The average Harley-Davidson owner rarely looks to be faring much better than the bike… Or a combination of all three… which we feel is the most likely.”
