[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 1082715, member: 383"] I recall a Honda Blackbird forum member long ago posting something like: [I]"Harley Davidson -- the most efficient way to turn gasoline into noise without the undesirable side effect of horsepower." [/I] They are what they are. Given unlimited funds, I'd probably own a HD (as one of maybe 6 bikes in a huge garage), because the ones that move me are akin to a restored '56 Ford pickup that feels just right for a leisurely ride to the hardware store on that occasional Sunday morning. But the marketing of the "lifestyle", the exorbitant price, the lack of significant technological improvements to performance over the decades, and the negative attitudes of too many HD riders toward other brands and their riders is what puts me off. (Well, . . . and the 6 or 7 figures of disposable income that would make the limited utility of owning one seem reasonable.) [/QUOTE]
