Do any of you like Harley Davidson....

David Allen Coe and myself are 100% in agreement here. This is why I am now riding a Honda Goldwing F6B. The new Harleys are just that as he says.... If it aint a Shovel. Pan or older than it aint a Harley. I'd rather build an S&S with a 4 speed Baker.


They drink the koolaide and the old timers just laugh and mock, they don't even know cause theyre sloshed on beer and koolaide

Nothing wrong with H.D., I have had a few...Had a few Wings, a few Kaw...and so on... Ride what you want, be proud of it and move on...Who cares as long as you are on two wheels as long as you can be then go to three!!!!

it is not what you ride, but that you ride. IMHO

Agreed! Except there seem to be a lot of Harley owners that keep them in the garage to look at and hardly ever ride. Case in point, I have a friend with a really nice Harley Fatboy. He's added thousands in accessories and has had the bike for 3 years and still hasn't rode 1,000 miles. Yet, he loves making fun of any bike that's not a Harley. Sad, but true.

There are 3 guys at my new job with Harleys. only one rides, the others are garage queens. Their excuses, deer, fog, rain, hogs, their lower legs get damp........ whwaaaa I ride every flippin day

Albeit... I have them on the lookout for a Shovel or Pan for me. Already found a number of shovels, but the pans are very high dollar. $9000 lowest find yet. Found shovels all the way down to $4500.

I love my little baby Road Glide Ultra. Got it out of the garage the other evening for a nice ride. Very smooth and comfortable. It shakes all over the place at red lights, but that's one of the fun things about it.

During my daily commute down I-35 here in OKC I have seen quite a few the last few days returning from Sturgis. Mostly touring bikes......loaded on trailers! I can't help myself and have to look at the drivers, they can't see me laughing under my full face with dark tint shield. Loved the Live to Ride, Ride to Live monster decal on the rear window of one pick-up.

This is just another version of the Harley snobbery... complaining about yuppies buying Harleys and how they are just "weekend riders." In other words, "you don't belong in my club." Eff that baloney, I don't look down my nose at anybody who rides. Sometimes I get mad at people who put themselves and others in unnecessary danger because they underdress and/or ride past their limits, but I don't judge based upon what you ride, or how often you ride, or how much or how little you spent on your bike. What's the point?

Can anyone explain why anybody should give a flying **** what D.A.C. thinks about new vs. old Harleys or anything else for that matter? His opinion is his opinion. Personally, I don't care.
