that's a fantastic motorcycle, no question. that doesn't mean a harley touring bike isn't also fantastic.

it all depends on how you want to go.

these days i prefer to travel cross-country in comfort:

Very nice piece of engineering!

Now back to the initial topic:
I used to ride a bike in France (a Japanese one). We had a lot of fun riding it with my wife and believe me, it's the only practical way to drive around Paris (you can ride between lanes there).
Then we had kids and I kept riding to the office and back but my wife would no longer ride with me.
Finally, I moved to Canada and the fuckin SAAQ (Quebec driving licences and vehicle registrations) doesn't recognize foreign bike driving licences, you can't ride between lanes and you are fucked 50% of the year so I gave up on it.

why are you so fixated on homosexuals? I wear a half helmet because I feel safer having peripherals, as I'm used to having them from years of cycling. I don't wear vests because I don't think they protect ME enough, other riders feel different but I never thought to call them gay because of it. I don't wear all that other shit because I don't believe I MYSELF need to.

You are pretty judgemental for a hippy driving a volkswagon aren't you?

Why are you so fixated on what I think? Does the truth hurt?

no idea but my dad bought a yamaha virago right before his 55th birthday, out of fucking sudden (he is a high school professor)

Stop meddling in your friends' lives ...

Stop to think about every Congressional scandal involving a Congressman and a gay guy. The Congressman has always been the most vocal anti-gay voice out there.

Now, think about cockett. He is really gay, but because he is so fucking stupid I don't call him out on it because I don't want people to associate his stupidity with the GLBT movement.

I guess the longest trip I made was from Phoenix down to San Diego, picked up a passenger, and down into Mexico for a weekend.

I made trips from Phoenix to Vegas or LA on a regular basis....

This is what I am into also... In fact, I have three Cannondales - A Supersix, a Synapse, and a 2002 CADD5 9/11 Tribute bike....

In other words, you don't know anything about cross country riding. You have no clue about what Harley's do on the open road.

A 600 mile day, the 2010 H-D Limited is perfect for that | Got baddog Photos and Videos

bro not to be a jerk but if you can't afford the lifestyle of a biker you need to get your shit together

You know very Little about hosting and PR, yet that dont keep you from running your mouth any chance you get.... reseller

If I rode a bike, I sure as hell wouldn't ride than dirt bike one that looks so girly. I would rather cruise riding a chopper. Something like this below. Nothing says badass than a custom chopper.

yes, because rich people in the USA buy Ford shitboxes instead of Benzes, BMW's and Italdesign cars.

German engineering = best in the world.
So unless you buy H-D as some kind of patriotic act to support Murrica, you're a pretentious fag.

Amen to that.

they are searching for an identity

you know who to ask

100 bikers that are cool now because they read this thread

I think at a certain age you realize there's more to life and that now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. They can afford to buy a nice bike and enjoy the freedom of riding!

Obvious you have never ridden a motorcycle. Riding position and comfort vary drastically between a Harly and a European touring bike. I personally couldn't go 10 miles in the forward riding style of most European bikes.

Yep; it all goes back to horse riding styles of Europe/Asia vs the US.

I missed this thread, been kinda busy with the new project.
As for the trade help the government gave to Harley, here's a cool video



Why ride a Harley? Because they can be 20 years old and still be cool. I ride because it's like therapy. I ride mine almost every day now.

"German engineering = best in the world."


like a Volkswagen diesel.

Sign of the times...

I sold one of those a couple years ago, 75 VW pick up that got 45 to 50 mph. Cool little truck, just didn't need it.

I was referring more to the false advertising and computer trickery they resorted to that back up their false mpg claims.

German engineering being better than is a myth.

My dad swears by Mercedes, I would rather have a F150 4x4 than that.

New upgrades on my road king are killing it. Next month getting it dyno tuned
