[quote=Birdwatcher][quote]Funny thing is, I never hear Harley riders bashing other manufacturers' bikes.
But by all means, rap on.
All I can say is, if ya ain't heard Harley riders bash import bikes, ya must have been living on a remote island or someth'n.
Didn't throw a leg over a motorcycle until age 27, having been gone much of that time prior in Africa. For more'n the next ten years pretty much all I owned was my motorcycle, a few guns, and of course binocs. Rode all year round, all weathers, never hardly got off, made it to most of the Lower 48 one year or another. Never owned a car until I was 40. Went to motorcycle events, hung out at motorcycle bars, dated motorcycle women.
In those years a Harley was out of the question because they were stolen so much, mostly by bikers, to be shipped overseas in later years. The worst of it was towards the very end where one MO was to run into the Harley stopped at a light from behind with a truck or van, and then load up the bike into the truck or van. The advice was if ya rode it to work always take a different way home, and have an eyelet set into the slab of the garage to lock it to. As for leaving it outside at the mall or parked at work or in an apartment parking lot day after day/night after night forget it. All of the above weren't very practical if your bike was your only transportation.
I really don't give a rip what you think of this, or me, just plainly stating fact is all.
