And yeah, my age plays a big part in it. Also just the area. I don't know why we get steamrolled for wanting to own a bike, but we do. I didn't realize that bikes nationwide are so cheap down there. Maybe I'll have to cross the border...
I will say that as a rule Japanese bikes do outperform Harley's. That's a big factor if you're looking at numbers and that can play a big role in the decision. It's my personal preference to choose a bike with a lot of character and I think Harley Davidson builds bikes that could definitely be described as having character. I read your post as bashing HD bikes and responded a bit quickly, but I'm willing to meet in the middle ground and forget it over a beer if you are, in true biker spirit.  |
Martian,
No problem..... I have been riding bikes for 25 years, on and off.... and some of the best times in my life have been whiel riding, or hanging with my friends that do. Check out this little video...
It's a bike trip my buddy , his girlfriend and I went on about 12 years ago.. We covered something like 8 states in 9 days...had a blast.. Check it out.
We're cool..... I will admit that I do like to rattle the occasional Harley rider though....for kicks
Japanese rider have lrarned to stick together over the years due the the BS we have always caught for not riding Harleys.... But really when you think about it...a bike is a bike...
