Going to buy a New Bike (61)
Blue is for boys.
boys toys ?????????
That too.
Yup but on a bigger scale 
Made My choice going to go with the Street Glide for comfort 
My experience is that for the money the Yamaha 'Star' line is a better value, about half the cost of a Harley and more reliable. But if you just want somthing to polish in your garage I suppose a Harley is ok
A Heretic Burn him
You have never actually ridden a Harley have you?
Honestly, No
But living 30 minutes away from Sturgis SD I see my share of them broken down along the road and riding down the road on trailers and in the backs of trucks.
My V-Star cost half as much as a Harley, and has given me 10000 trouble free miles of riding this last year. I don't need to pay a premium for the Harley name, I'd rather be riding!

I like Harleys, I like Japanese bikes, I like German bikes. Hell, I just like bikes. As far as the Japanese cruisers go, I don't think anyone is doing it better than the Yamaha/Star line. If I were in the market for a cruiser, the Roadliner would be up near the top of the list...
I bought my Harley to pick up chicks. Unfortunately, that didn't work either.
My family would burn me at the stake if I bought anything but another Harley
Damn, and here I was looking at them in the Cycle Trader...
Actually, a lot of the "men" around here just buy them and put maybe 300 miles on them over the course of a couple of years. This does allow them to say, at the bar, that they do indeed own one...

Was yours the one that leaked rice all over the ground?
When I get asked, I tell them I only own the t-shirt.
No mine and Earls other brother He has since that incident traded his Honda in for an Electra Glide
I about split a gut when Earl said that.
You should have seen him swearing at all of us
Hey Dave just told my brother David about the rice comment, He's still not to happy about that
BTW: He's been staying with me the last few months along with his wife.

At least he's in your house so he has to put up with it.
I'll give you that but most of those riding Harleys anymore are like Robert said, they just put 300 miles on them just to say they owned one.
As for me I have put over 47000 on my old AMF Electraglide. The only trouble with mine this year came from the battery(which came from China and I bought 8 months ago, going back to my Interstates after that).
I have seen the star line broken on the side of the road before (both V-stars in a poker run in which an old 73 sporty broke down too), so it can happen to anyone.
I am just into classic bikes myself, and I really do not care that much what people ride as long as their knees are in the breeze, but an occasional friendly joshing is always fun.
Next time you go by someone whose Scoot is up on the trailer, Tell them...Hey Yuppie trailers are for boats! Or sorry your motorcycle is broken!

Oh yeah...I have been thinking about picking up a Kawasaki Drifter...I know one for sale that has easyrider symbols painted on it for all the Harelys he has blown away. It is painted like a WWII bomber with pin-ups on the tanks. I just like the look of the old style Indian Motorcycles.
Never had a problem with my sporty and put about 6000 miles on it this summer 
Ooooo.... a new bike, eh?? 
yup getting a much bigger bike this time
I was talking to an old biker in town about different bikes, He was considering buying a new one. I asked if he was getting a harley. He responded:
" Hah, Harleys are a lot like my old hound dog, they both like to ride in the back of the truck."
" Hah, Harleys are a lot like my old hound dog, they both like to ride in the back of the truck."
The Bandit 1200 only has about 6000 miles on it in the three years I have owned it, but I only live three miles from the office. That, and duty is almost always split with another bike.
The old ('74) BMW 750 I just fixed up has 71K on it (not all my miles, of course). It's a classic airhead, black with white pinstriping. I'm with Jeff - I do like classics, and it's not about snob appeal. Funny thing is, that engine has never been torn down. I didn't feel the need to re-ring it - not a whisp of smoke ever, even on start-up. Got to do the pushrod seals, however (minor drip now and then).
Next up, I think, will be a 650 dual-purpose bike. Never had one, something different...
