I love Harleys, I have owned them for thirty plus years. Most people who don’t like them can’t afford them. Yes I know that they don’t have the technology that’s in other bikes, but they have enough for me. It’s also fun to tear them down and add some salt to them. It’s like taking a Chevy apart and making it a rod. It’s all part of the scene. For some of you , if I have to explain you wouldn’t understand.

Peace

There are great bikes made by numerous manufacturers to suit anybodys needs. Been riding now for 30 years and on my 5th Harley(2009 Ultra) Have rode the rice burners and they are nice but just not Harleys. What amazes me is that the people who dont like Harleys always have to come to Harley sites to tell us why their bikes are better. I have never even looked at a bike site other than Harley. Do not really care what they are saying on their sites as it doesnt apply to me. If you are happy with whatever you ride…ride it! Its all about being in the wind, some just like it different than others. Ill just stick to my Harleys and quote Malcom Forbes” I have many nice different motorcycles and they are all fun to ride. But at the end of the day if I rode my Harley it feels like I have done something” Nuff Said

Calm down Harley riders. These metric guys with the “not being able to pass a semi” theory have obviously never ridden a Harley or have been listening too closely to their sales guy at their local rice dealer. If not, I have no idea where they’re getting their information. I’ve ridden many types of motorcycles, import and domestic but I’ve only owned two Harleys, with good reason. Harley makes motorcycles like no other manufacturer in the world and Harley has standards. Not just performance standards. At Harley, styling issues can outweigh the riders’ need to have the latest and greatest technology unlike some manufacturers that put anything and everything on your motorcycle, whether it looks like it was taken off of a lawn tractor or not. I would think a guy would have to own one or, at least, take a friend’s bike for a trip across their state to appreciate and speak intelligently about these motorcycles. Obviously, these people have done neither. Harley has continued to strike a great balance between rider comfort, new technology and something that looks like a work of art. That’s why they’re imitated by almost every bike maker in the world and that’s why people will keep riding them.

I’ve been a metric rider for 40 years. Just bought a 2009 Road King. I like it !! Would not have bought it without the changes that H-D put in the ’09 Touring models. Bike runs good, rides nice, looks great, it’s stable too. I sold a VTX 1800 then bought the Road King. The Road King will not run with the VTX but the Road King is no slouch either. It looks 10 times better than the VTX and handles better too. I use the Road King as my “cruiser”. Don’t liquid cool it H-D, it’s a beautiful engine just like it is. I also own a Honda ST 1300 and a Gold Wing. The ST 1300 is a REAL kick ! Best all around bike I’ve ever owned. The Wing is absolutely the all time best tourer ever made. Other bikes may look better but the Wing has the best engine in any motorcycle ever made. Ride one you’ll see. Hell I like ‘em all. I’m glad there is a Hartley and a Honda and a Yamaha and a……..
