What's good about a Harley, is bike nights at the local pubs or all the chrome that lights up. Harley makes a damn good bike, saying it doesn't shows how little you know about the company.
You can own and ride the same Harley for 30 years and it will still be cool, ride the same Jap bike for 5 years and it will look old!

old japanese bikes look just as cool for the most part, they just don't have all the hype behind them.
I took most of these guys advice this past winter and they were pretty bang on for what i needed to do including starting with a smaller ride. i did all the reading, went over hundreds of safety vids on my own, did the course (which is fun as hell anyway) and learned a lot. Unfortunately the course didn't cover much regarding defensive driving. Most problems on the road can be avoided by anticipating problems before they happen. Riding around town on a bicycle has taught me more than enough over the years so if you have any cycling background i find it can come in handy.
maybe someone knows the statistics better than i do, but are accident statistics skewed any by racing bikes opposed to cruisers?
