Drove A Harley
Well, I went home this weekend to change my bikes oil and a few other little things, and ended up going for a ride on Saturday with my uncle. He has a 87 Soft Tail, bored out, and for the most part pretty stock. We switched bikes on the way back, and I had some fun on his bike. Turned easy, smooth ride, and very comfortable. Obviously it didn't have the power and agility I like in a bike, but I could see myself getting one as a second bike some day. My uncle had a blast on mine as well. He had it up to 110 and he didn't even realize it!
Just curious who else has actually rode a Harley on here. A lot of trash talk about them, but who has actually given them the time of day?

RE: Drove A Harley
I would not be so hard on Harleys, but the attitude I get from the guys/girls that ride them, make them an easy mark for me. No offense to your Uncle by the way. Here Harleys are expensive & those that buy them are 'Buying the lifestyle' as well. Whatever a persons rides is their business & I respect that but I expect the same in return. One on one, a Harley owner is a decent sort of person (mainly) two or more are Dicks. I've had problems with these types for years, but if I had just spend a great deal of money buying one & probably a great amount more putting on the 'extras' & then got rounded up on the esses by a guy on 500cc twin Jap bike, I'd probably feel peeved as well.
