          Last time I checked my bike was a real Harley and I do ride it, so that would make me a "real Harley Rider". I presently alternate between a 1/2 and 3/4 but am looking at picking up a ff real soon.

          Real HD owners wear what ever they want and don't care one bit what anyone thinks about nor do they ask .
          They ride
