Any HD Riders out there?


AKIRA

Recommended Posts

I am thinking about switching over to the HD world but have been wondering if there are many other HD riders out there? I live in the Mt Vernon area.

Why HD? There are better handling, running, and more dependable bikes on the market that are fine looking cruisers. Have you already swallowed the koolaid that's in your mouth?

I have a honda shadow and also looking to upgrading this spring...

Upgrading to what? Is any HD an upgrade?

Sorry guys, no offense to anyone that has owned or does own one, but I drank the koolaid a long time ago and learned my lesson. You should honestly look around at what you can get for the money that you would spend on an HD. Then again, there are a couple of models that I would like to have. I just think that you should shop cruisers if you are wanting to move in that direction, don't limit yourself to a certain brand.

I have both a sportbike and a custom Harley 5A738CC3-CCDB-4D3D-B31D-B009EE11BCBC-8901-000015083690B4C3.jpg...I worked two jobs for three years to be able to pay cash for my brand new '05 FXSTi softail that I have spent the cost of the bike in customizing with Performance Machine Phatail kit, PM wheels, rotors, calipers C29A5CBF-5673-4CBE-AB00-A4FFD65A0AC4-4760-000009B3CC4D1727.jpg...I've got 36k miles on the Phatail and 47k miles on my 2000 ZX9IMG_4294.jpg

Several sportbike friends who dispise Harley's while owning (4) sportbikes, several Harley friends who own multiple HDs, and dispise sportbikes... I like to mix it up, sportbike for adrenaline rush and Phatail for poker runs and cruising - putt puttin around .... The Phatail gets more compliments and attention than any of my sportbikes ever have, but the sportbike is pure fun, adrenaline.

It's not hatin in real life - dude you're on a Harley and WHAM you're in, like your famous or sumpin? I don't get it either, but the public LOVES Harley's - you might regret owning the Harley because ya won't get adrenaline rush from it, but it's just a different kinda ride

Very funny. Yes they are popular but that is not the only reason I want one. Damn did not realize there were so many haters

I dont hate on HD's, just a lot of their owner's can act like absolute anus'.

There's HD fans, and there's HD fanatics. If you're a fan, you appreciate the bikes for what they do within your lifestyle.....if you're a fanatic, the bike BECOMES your lifestyle. Do or die types don't impress me, and have given me shit on occasion about my choices in a bike. I'd always check every pocket and could never find 1 fuck to give about their closed minded opinion. I ride a jap sport because it does what I ask of it, and I love the experience - HD can do the same, but to me they are simply selling a product based on it's heritage at a huge margin over metric versions of equal quality.

This is simply my opinion, nothing more and no personal hate intended.

Get the bike you want, and enjoy it.....just dont 'love it, live it, or leave it' like so many seem to do. It's not just for Americans or a war between countries, it's a brotherhood for all to share and be part of together.

Are you high? Because if so, pass it over and quit hogging it all! I was trying to kind of say this, but not.

qft.

my father and his wife own harleys. they subscribe to the 'live it' clause. when i get my big boy job, i'm gonna get pops on a metric cruiser, and convert him. if nothing else, get him out of the feet forward style. it's worse on your back than full tuck on a race replica.
