I know a guy who’s been riding Sportsters forty years as his primary mode of transportation, been living in the wind all that time, committed to the lifestyle good and bad, and he turns wrenches for a Harley dealership, always has. What does he need to do to be a real Harley rider?



Not a thing.

This always makes me laugh. Try riding 500 miles in a day on a big Harley bagger (the supposed real man's bike). Then try riding 500 miles on a Sporty (the supposed girl's bike). You'll quickly find it takes more of a man to ride the Sporty than the living room couch.

I actually own both and I approve of this message. smile
