I am what I am, I can't be what I am not, and for now.. I ride and I choose to ride a Harley. As for others, their life is not my own, they can be/ride whatever they want...

They were riding two-by-two, and I swear the inside half of them, every single one of them, were COMPLETELY across the double yellow line. On a blind left hand curve no less.

Things like that just feed the haters.
I did that last year, albeit accidentally, and ran into a mid size Ford pickup. One destroyed Sportster and a partial shoulder replacement later, I now ride a 2012 Road King. Its funny how a larger bike can literally change the way you ride.

Personally, I have always dreamed of having a Harley and can't imagine riding anything else. However, make note of the signature below.

Road Kings not agile? Seriously?

Hey man, I was just being ironic, that Harleys are not agile and unreliable is one of the first thing "Harley haters" bring up because of their envy. I do love the Road King and found it very easy to ride straight away when I tried the new 2012 RKC 3 months ago.
I love that bike and it would be my next addition to the stable, although it may be a while...

What's to hate with any motorcycle? Ducatis look amazing. I just can't contort that way. The V-Max is totally badass. There's nothing wrong with the BMW bikes if you want to tour the world. The Kawasaki KLR650 if you're on a budget. Hondas make sold bikes. Triumphs have a lot of character. There is a scoot for everyone. Hell, if you choose a Vespa, good for you. Not my choice though.

I just prefer Harley because of the relaxed nature, they look great and have loved them since childhood.

I was just talking to a rider, 24 years old and totally sporting the MC/1%er bad boy look. He rides a Honda Shadow and told me "**** Harleys".
