Nothing wrong with a little rivalry between bike brands. I suspect most of us F6B riders were H-D owners at one time (and many still are.)
Look at it this way-- here in Milwaukee, Harley Davidson will hold an anniversary rally and more than 100,000 bikes will "return home." The Honda Gold Wing "Wing Ding" rallys attract maybe 5,000 or so. So, some of the H-D riders go a little overboard with brand loyalty and like loud pipes. There's nothing wrong with a little passion for your sport/ hobby, and the Harley riders certainly have that! :yikes:
Were you in the ANG or maybe still are? I taught a Mobile TACAN class in Spokane in the early 80's to some ANG dudes. One of them was a hardcore year round HD rider. Had a one side leather, other side fur covered, breast chest insert he placed in his jacket.
Hail all of the year round riders.
Good on Missouri. That kinda surprises me since MO is kinda bipolar... with both a strong conservative and liberal presence.
Here in Florida it's legal for people to setup their own shooting range in the backyard; and this in a county with almost 1 million people in it :icon_biggrin:
A lot of bikes have come into and left my stable. The Pan has been a steady part of nearly half of my life, it has been through a lot.
Extra points if you can name the location where I've photographed the F6b. Hint: It's in a state famous for potatoes.
Ireland?
:crackup:
The Harley image is a big, important one to those guys. I actually like several of the Harley bikes, but most all the Harley riders in this area, spend as much $$ on their Harley wardrobe, as they do on their bikes. I'm talking jackets shirts hats boots chaps glasses tattoos etc. and they wear it year round even when not on the bikes. I really like my F6, but just don't get the look as being so important. My other ride at the present time is a HondaCRF250L dual sport. No powerhouse, but fun to mess around on the dirt and trails. We have a Harley biker bar in town, I went in there once all full of mud and dirt on my off road gear, and parked the little bike out front amongst the Big Harleys. Nobody said a word to me, when I went in for a soda. Probably thought this 60 year old was a nut case! In any case, I learned to ride cycles of- road, and it is a great way to practice things that aren't possible on the street. Good for the skill set!:lolup:
