...as opppose to the weed-wacker noises some bikes make?...I have yet to hear ANY lawn-mower sound like an HD..matbe some people aren't mentally or physically strong enough to ride an HD well, let alone ride one at all?...
I was going to buy a Harley....
then I decided I wanted to have fun !!.....
one more...
Yes one has to be mental to spend that much money on a slow motorcycle that vibrates your teeth off and has the equivalent modern technology of a door nob....
Hey was that wormy answering my post.??...I can't see him but I can smell him...
See !!! we do share a sense of humor (worm and I)...even if he...(I better not say) he might not find my humor funny....my apology if not you answering me worm..it just sounds like you...
In all seriousness I have rode harleys and was ok for cruising as any motorcycle...
if performance is not in your diet they cruise ok I guess....women sure like them.... haha

...here's a lesson for the village idiot
1) you can opine and comment and write all you want about someone you have on your "igonore" list (including me) because we all have something to say about this or that
2) you cannot write and directly address anything to those on your "ignore" list (including me) because to do so invites a reply which denies you the full-flavor of the "conversation" you've chosen to partake in because you'll never be able to "see" it to read it

quote:the problem following the fast harley's is their POS bike limitations. many of the riders are fast but they hold us up scraping hard parts when our bikes can lean a whole bunch more.
I follow those guys up the tail of the dragon and such and they are fast but still hold us back scraping floor boards, luggage, I've even seen them scraping kick stands. the spark show these guys give is great though!

I took a Goldwing for a test ride but didn't get into it.I stand by the theory that a Goldwing looks so old and dated(plus a bitch to work on)after ten years that you'll want to buy another bike.Harley's, like VW Beetles don't change much and are easy to find parts for.Plus there is nothing like hitting that sweet spot where the rpms feel in sync with your heartbeat on a Harley.

Aliveagain makes a good point at least about the parts and accessories. Everyone and their brother who wants to make money in the motorcycle business makes or sells parts for harleys. Us on the cutting edge, end up waiting 6 months just for the simplest of stuff.

Harleys are for slow people who have given up and let the mundane take over. So sad.

A friend sold his busa & bought a Harley to avoid any more tickets it worked well he really did ride slow even slower to pick up the parts that fell off. He slowed are group ride to a stop one time to go back and get his kick stand it was funny as hell.

...that's funny...I never ever lost any parts off of my FLHTC while riding...and it was an older EVO motored bike...I did, however, lose parts and loosened parts on my KTM and KLR on some rides ____________ “We sleep safe in our beds because rough men
