"But the real question, IMHO, is what kind of perverse pleasure do those people get, by denigrating others over and over, just to make themselves look superior."

Ma'am.. I won't pretend to speak for other members, but trying to make myself look superior by denigrating S M plays no part in my responses. It goes without saying that YOU have never spent ANY time around an an ALL MALE large hunting campfire. A lot of us have.

If the group gets large enough, there will be one guy who resembles S M. He has to blow smoke, exaggerating his abilities and experiences, while at the same time trying to con someone by the "poor me routine".

Belittling him is the only way to shut him up and stop him from continuing to make a fool of himself by contaminating the campfire discussion.

In the REAL world, he will pipe down or go home.

Just because it doesn't work on the internet don't mean we ain't gonna try it.

My mother is looking to sell her Road King if you're interested. Only 86,000 miles on it. Bought new. Course she rode it through a couple of back surgeries too.

She's put on 175,000 miles on a Harley in the last chunk of years - living in Wisconsin.

Never knew that adding a couple hundert pounds to the bike would make it more bad ass.

Nope - she's getting a trike. Lost 60% of her strength in her legs due to back issues - can't hold up a bike anymore.

Point being - putting a thousand miles a year isn't all that impressive to me when I see a 60 year old woman put on 30k in a state that has 6 months of winter and I've never met anyone with a clue that wanted to add weight to a bike unless they had some sort of OCC/Paul JR mancrush fetish.

At that point I assume they own more HD t-shirts than miles.

I simply enjoy making fun of them.

And I lost all my self-respect a long time ago. So no worries there.

I think safariman and his wife are psychotic.

Found the empty artillery cases I need. Thank you to all who PM'ed me links and places to look. Very inexpensive way to add a fun and unique feature to the bike while it is down and getting worked on anyway.

The bike and my surgically repaired body should be ready to ride together by this summer. Something I can really look forward to.

To those who do not understand someone who likes to have a dream and or a hope to think upon while going through a tough time and who poke fun at the idea, I am glad you got a laugh out of it. It does not bother me, really as this is just the internet. It ain't real life. To those who do understand and have been helpful to me in this search, many thanks.

Kinda sad that just a couple of years ago a post like the one I made here would have resulted in ideas shared on where and how best to find the big shells a person wanted or was looking for, and a fun conversation about what the bike might look like and maybe link to some other bikes with a WW ll look or theme to them.

I think that some of you here will like the looks of the bike when it is all done. Some will not, and that is OK, too.

I'm guessing "No".
