[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1136689, member: 28773"] Please do not misunderstand me, my friend really likes his Sportster. He is very happy with his bike choice but he is not blinded by the HD Kool-Aid. He is learning more about the limits and capabilities of his bike and himself. He was and still is confused by the performance gap between Harleys/Metric Cruisers and more sporty bikes. At first he did not realize how great that gap was, now he has trouble understanding why the gap is that large. For my part I have encouraged him to consider gear that is both protective and stylish. I have never spoke badly of his Harley because I think it is a fun and worthwhile bike. I hope he enjoys it and learns to ride it well and safely. I also make an effort to set an example worth following with my gear and my riding style. He has told me, "You know everybody does not think like you. Most of them like one kind of bike and think all the rest are stupid." I told him that I belong to a whole forum full of motorcycle enthusiasts, a group of guys that like [I]Motorcycles[/I]. [/QUOTE]
