During all my years on the fence about getting any motorcycle I was not necessary committed to the brand. But living in Milwaukee, and going to the 90th, 95th and 100th reuinions as a bystander does leave an impression on a soon to be buyer. So, when it came time to put up or shut up about getting a motorcycle, my choice was not Harley or Metric, but which Harley.

Harleys have the best look, the best sound, and the best feel (that visceral feeling)---to me. And they're NOT COPYING ANYONE ELSE. Some things just have a Soul, ya know.

If it's a motorcycle, gimme a Harley. If it ain't a Harley, I'll walk. I don't cut anyone else for what they ride, though, but for me it's a Harley or nothing.

Do you wake up in the morning and have to decide to put on a skirt or pants. No Brainer to me.

This thread is just precious! Most of you haven't ridden anything else.
