Harleys would be just great if it weren't for the engine, frame, and styling.

I saw him building one of his bikes on biker build-off on Discovery channel. Alot of the bikes shown on that program don't do much for me. Waaay over the top. But this guys style grabbed me. Love 'em

You have something against 1931 technology? So what if they vibrate and handle like 900 pounds of dead weight. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think my old diesel is an ugly spud but some people like their looks.

I think you should run right out and spend upwards of $20,000 on a Harley yuppiecycle. Then take the friggin mufflers off so you too can be cool beyond your wildest dreams.

All Harley owners don't fit in there but the antique design of their bikes do. I'd be willing to bet that most of them love their machines and have fun riding them. Fun is what we are here for, eh?

People that drive VW beedles all their lives have no idea about the difference that Porsches offer. Ignorance is often bliss.

BTW, a fat old man like me has owned Harleys in the past. Today I'm still riding a modified GSXR 1100 Suzuki and a ZX-10R Kawasaki w/turbo.

A new Suzuki GSX1300R (Hayabusa) is due in June

There are those of us who like to Cruise on our choppers then you have the type on their high strung Crotch rockets like the guy on "The Gumball Rally" Remember the guy?

Can't ride a sportbike when you have arthritis in your shoulder.........

Besides I have had my share of road rash.............

I love my Harley.........
