My son got a good deal on a VRod from Craigslist in Fargo area. The guy owned 3 motorcycles. Does he like it? He absolutely loves it. It only had 3 ,000 miles on it. If he ever buys a house and needs money for a down payment I promised I will buy it. I just bought a 2018 Heritage Softtail and couldn't be happier. I traded in a 2015 Gold Wing. It was like riding a barge. I always thought those were the coolest bike they ever built. The Honda dealership nearby has a 1985 Goldwing for $3,000 out on the showroom. It's immaculate. All Gold too. Pretty cool. The 1984 - 87 Wings, were the best of the bunch, in my opinion. They became cars after that. Not too big, 1200, hydraulic lifters, decent handling. I was a Honda mechanic at that time. They were a huge improvement from the previous years. When they need to have reverse that should be a Red Flag.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Not really sure why a lot of Harley guys don't ride much.
I think at the height of their popularity there were a lot of Harley owners. Not riders. And they didn't get their bike to have a bike, they got it to have a Harley. And like practically every other fad and trend that goes nationwide, started in Hollywood, then picked up by other entertainment and sports industry celebrities and 'in-crowd' wannabes. Even the Japanese felt it necessary to start marketing their own models of less expensive Harley V-twin 'Cruiser' style sound and lookalikes.

Well, if a wife has stopped having sex, she will most likely start again after she rides around on the back of your motorcycle, maybe even with you.
Guess you shoulda kept your bike.

I had my first bike before that came out, but I remember how much I wanted a big cruiser with heavy front forks after that. AND a cut down 1887 shotgun.

I was still on a KX80. Grin... But boy did I want me a Fat Boy to do me some empty canal racing.

Alright, so get out there “in the wind”, “live to ride ride to live” and all of that. I just always found it better with a woman pressed against my back is all.
I suppose it would work the same way if you preferred men there ‘Flave.

I loved it, but it wasn't long before I wanted something bigger(power wise as well as just taller.) Anyway, I remember being so jealous of my slightly older riding buddies that had Kawasaki 80s or Honda XR-75s.

Guess you shoulda kept your bike. Didn't need it. Ya wouldn't catch me ragging on some guy about his divorce, but that's me. Anyhoo... on the topic of no passenger seat; your buddy's bike breaks down on a ride and you cant run him home to get his truck or buy the parts he needs. Can't run anyone down to the corner for a gallon of milk, can't take young relatives for a quick spin around the block, a bunch of stuff. A puzzle to me.

If someone wants a lift they can steal a bicycle like everyone else. Also, I tend to ride aggressive and don't need dead weight throwing me off in a curve. I ain't into giving joy rides either.

I hate nostalgia but let me tell you my first bike story... My first bike was a KX60. I didn't know a front brake from a rear tire. I never asked for, or even thought about a bike. My dad walked me out into the garage on Christmas and said "here you go." And that was that. I sat on it, finger blasted it. I think I even washed it inside the garage but I still didn't even know how to start it. I think it was around January when my sister's boyfriend (they were older Junior/Senior type age) asked why I didn't ride it. I explained I didn't know anything about them and my dad was always working. And since he gave it to me I felt like he expected me to "just know." So boyfriend gives me this lesson (our house was in a rural area) and I get the idea of it and feel comfortable. He asks if he can take it for one last spin and I of course say yes. So he's just putzing around doing short wheelies in a big long circle and still kinda showing me some things. Worst fugkin' timing in the world because here come Ol' Chainsaw Dave. He home from work early. Steps outside the back door while boyfriend is on it and yells "Get off that bike you stupid son of a bitch! Can't you see it's for a little kid?" Back inside he goes. Boyfriend brings it back to me and kills it. Tells me "Be careful when you discover the powerband on this thing." I said "what's a powerband?" "You'll see." LMAO.

I was still on a KX80. Grin... But boy did I want me a Fat Boy to do me some empty canal racing. First bike was a GSX 750. Talk about a fast learning curve. Pretty sure the bike was stolen since it didn't come with a title. That's OK, because I got it in a trade for some klipsch speakers I bought off the back of a delivery truck. They were so big my home stereo wouldn't drive them. The trade went well, he didn't ask why I had night club speakers and I didn't ask why no title. Traded the bike a couple years later for some guns.
