I like my 12' Limited very much. All things considered, it was the best bike on the market for me as was my last Harley. I would not say I am hard core loyal to the brand. If another manufacturer built a touring bike as comfortable and stylish and also provided the feel that riding HD provides I would consider buying one. I just don't see that happening and there is nothing like that available today.

 

I'm a retired Army Sergeant Major, I work part time for the Department of State and I'm not bleeding money any more since I left my contracting job making a ridiculous salary. But my motorcycles will be the last things to depart our property. It's the American way. Uhhh.....I also use to complain about paying property taxes as I looked outside at the two Corvettes, new truck 20 foot toy hauler and three Harleys parked in the drive way.

 

After growing up around Harley's. I never have considered any other brand. I will be a Harley guy until I can't rid a anymore.

 

I bought a cheap metric to learn on. I couldn't think about learning on a Harley and dropping it or something. I had it for 4 months, and decided it was HD time. I've not looked back since then.

 

When I was a younger man, I rode Jap rockets. Always figured Harley " Baggers" were an old man's bike. When I became an old man, I bought one and realized I was right. It takes riding time on other bikes to truly realize what a great bike Harley is. Won't want to ride anything else.

 

ra ra ra whatever.I like my 13 "Limited" allot but I probably could have been just as happy with a Goldwing .Never been that guy that HAS to have a Harley.Availability,price, dealer support, and comfort all made the decision.I would have had to travel 150mi just to look at a Goldwing or a Victory and passenger comfort on the Rocket 3 was not good.Victory's are still fugly and plasticy looking.The Japanese brands, other than the Goldwing just look like Harley knock offs.BMWs are just plain hideous and stupid tall.

 

Now you understand!

 

+100 Nothing like a quick ride on my Road King to put a smile on my face!
