Interesting topic.

I just paid a visit to what is claimed to be the largest HD shop in existence here in LV and I agree that most bikers are middle aged for financial reasons ... as per GymRat's earlier comment.

The new ones I looked at were priced from $16,000 to $27,000.

Walter, what was the price of your first bike and what year did you purchase it?

I don't know a lot of bikers but the ones I do know have all been in various types of accidents (no deaths though!).

Here is the new Harley Davidson shop which is located on the south end of the LV Strip adjacent to the airport runway.

If you are interested n bikes... it's worth a visit.

There is a beautiful shop like that in NH! I think it was 91 with 2500 miles on it and I bought it from a guy who's business was in trouble. He needed cash so I obliged with 10k.

I had a Honda Nighthawk 750 before the Harley.

Yikes!  My bike is looking like a good deal now!  :P

This is a cool motorcycle.

I like these also:











They are and one reason is because as a friend once taught me, they're not pretending to be anything but what they are.  Same as Harleys.  Same as a CB1100.  Same as...Well you get the idea, my friend.

Be well.  ;D

No idea why this is prevalent, but it is.

Obviously a guy on a Harley cut off True Anus in his Prius, laughed at Anus's Obama tattoo, and banged TA's girl in the shitter.

Is it me, or is Adonis pre-occupied with what other dudes do, usually with a negative connotation behind it?

No, not any more than anyone else here.  On the surface it does appear that many of the threads here are started on a whim.

So too, are many of the replies.  Many.  Not all.   ;D  People ask questions all the time and all too often the answers they receive are  just replies, not answers.  I am as guilty as any that come here when it comes to giving "answers" that are anything but. 

I like Harleys just fine and sportbikes not so much but both bikes  have good riders and bad.  More often than not (here in SoCal), both groups are retards on the roads with little to no manners or consideration of others sharing the roads.  Dressing like an 81 is no more pathetic than trying to look like Rossi.  Another post here mentioned bicyclists and their  garb.

Nailed it.

Be well.

Which part?

Do you ride, Scott? Mine's still in pieces (only been 8-9 years), but chaos says I can bitch up behind him. Maybe we should put 'er in the wind?

Harley's are cool bikes, but that's were it ends. They are very overpriced. A 1980 Harley and a 2016 are very similar. They are using inferior parts compared to Japanese bikes that cost half and are using top of the line parts.

You buy a Harley to bar hop and to polish in the garage, not for serious riding. Of all the conventions I've been to, all the long rides, the iron butts, the touring groups. Never would someone attempt to do much on a Harley. They are too uncomfortable, vibrate like a jack hammer and burn too much oil.

What makes you think they use inferior parts whereas the Japanese use high quality?

Just as bad as a young guy buying a sports car, like a Lotus or something to show off how sporty he is. ::)

OK, so if a young guy buys a sports car he's trying to look "sporty" and if an old guy buys a sports car he's going through a mid life crisis.

It never happens that someone buys something because they just want to and appreciate high performance autos.  ::)

That just shows he knows nothing about Harley's and how they have improved their engines over the years. I have had a large number and never had a problem.

Harleys are covered in Chinese parts. Not one single part of a Harley is made in America.
