Anyone know what kind of motorcycle (model and year) James rode?
I saw a picture somewhere on the net recently where one can see that it says Harley Davidson on it. That's all I know :)
My husband (who owns two Harleys and has ridden for 30 years) says it looks like a Shovelhead FLH, probably from the late 60's early 70's.
"I'm talking about seeing beyond fear, Roger. About looking at the world with love."
I think it's a Fisher-Price.
Reason #117 to tease James Hurley. He rides a Huckleberry Dorkenson. And somehow, he still pulls tail.
Not to mention he drinks fruit punch.
"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper
Not to mention he drinks "fruit punch."
He drank Jungle Juice at Twin Peaks Elementary School.

How did this dork ever become a bookhouse boy , anyway?!
Ben: "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight. All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."
Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

No doubt! Doesn't Big Ed have any cooler nephews?

Do you think James would have been a more likeable character to the fanbase if he was edgier and really was a bad boy, but really did have good intentions when it came to Laura and Donna? He needs to ditch being a sulking, book reading, sweater wearing, fruit punch guzzling softie and be a lean, mean biker.

BOB confused Laura. She felt forced to run to James to protect herself, and those around her. If he was a bad boy, the character would've made even less sense. In any world other than Twin Peaks, things wouldn't have been so ass-backwards. Bobby would've been a dumb jock, Laura would have been a simple cheerleader, James would've been a rebel. But though the looking glass...
Bobby's a drug dealing schemer because of BOB's influence (via Laura,) and Boy Named Bitch is the secret boyfriend. But it's only because he represents hope and solidity-- even if the most solid thing about him is that giant, thick skull.
From the Diary, I'm pretty sure that Laura is only drawn to James because of his incorruptible pure heart-- a side effect of extreme naivete-- and that Bobby would have been "the one" if she didn't make him sell drugs/do horrible things (as he talks about with Jacoby.) She ruined him, and he let her be a bad girl. This was supposed to make her less enticing to BOB, but it didn't protect her.
James is really the only innocent person in the show. Well, maybe Johnny, too. Boring, retarded, but nevertheless a needed symbol:
"It's the secrets people keep that destroy any chance they have of happiness."
Maddie is pretty innocent too, although breaking those glasses was kinda naughty. And you shouldn't waste drinks you know. People all over the word are dying because they have nothing to drink, etc....
Fairly innocent, although Maddy did make out with another girl's boyfriend, and helped goad Harold into killing himself :P
Did Leland hook up with Maddy? Once she ditched the glasses and couldn't see, Leland would act like he was James and trick her.

That's true. He'd comb his hair up higher, cry alot, and sing songs like a Bee Gee.

Good point, but as far as the James things goes, it takes two to tango. He was naughty there too. Bloody kids, kissing and all that. *tuts*
I reckon Harold would have killed himself anyway. He spent ages making that apple butter, and no-one ever wanted any.
[Didn't mean to post again, sorry.]
Who eats effing apple butter?!?!?!

The kind of people who shop at Waitrose. (Not sure of the US equivalent, so cue the tumbleweed).

I'm guessing - Cracker Barrel? Waffle House?

My vote for dumbest line in the series:
MADDY: [earnestly] James, you're on fire!
Poor, poor, submissive James. He's like Candide. He just lets things happen to him, because he has faith in humanity.
I think the worst thing James did was did bone another man's wife. But he did admit that it wasn't right, in his only moment of passion. No one else in the show did that while they were, um, getting down with OPP.
One other thing. Do you think James was a virgin? Or did he and Donna "do it" and that's why he had to give her the ring? I also can't think of any other explanation for him not pegging Laura as the town bicycle. He was the only one in town who wasn't sleeping with her.
Do you think James and Donna did it the night he drank fruit punch at the Hayward house when mom and pop went to bed or do you think they just dry humped on the couch?

dry humped on the couch, but they definitely had a whole lot of sex later in the show, around episodes 14-16
