I understand that 85% of all HD are sold since 1985 are still on the road today.

The rest actually made it home from the dealership!

Just took the Advanced Safety Course (6 hours!). You always take something away with you! I highly recommend! And they are FREE!

Actually, the bikes are OK, if you are shooting a WWII movie, you get authentic WWII era technology! It’s more the tools who ride them I don’t like, the wanna-be heroin addict looking dweebs. They do an outstanding job of trying to be “individualistic” by all looking the same (stupid!).

There must be some kind of officially licensed Harley Tool Academy where they teach the whole beer gut, grey beard and officially licensed leather bandana get up stupidity.

90 percent of the jerks who wear all the officially licensed harley gear don’t even ride. “Damn bitch won’t let me get one.” LMFAO!

Lighten up and have some fun and quit stirring trouble where none existed.

BTW, I only respect your choice to be vegan not that you actually are one. Truth is that I find vegans to be idiots, especially the ones that do it because they respect the lives of cattle and pigs, and rabbits, and birds, and deer, and fish etc etc etc. But if you are gonna wear your veganism as a badge of honor I’m just gonna let you know I only hold your reasons in contempt and find anyone that feels as you do to be a weakminded fool.

But this is about motorcycles and not idiotic dietary habits.

Where are they free? I go down for $120 every time I take it (every two years). Where do I need to go to get this for free (boy, am I feeling dumb right now!)?

Ah the wisdom of a Jap Crap Rider!

Good try, but a Honda gold wing is also made in the USA, and has a similar foreign parts content. Not that i ride a goldwing (There's a REAL 2-wheel sofa for you!), but that's a pretty lame attempt.

I’ve never taken a motorcycle safety course. I’ve been riding like I was invisible as far back as I can remember, maybe that’s why I’m still alive.

I’ve drove big rigs for 31 years and had many safety courses, the freight company I worked for, was heavy into safety courses...

I took one sponsored by Honda last month. They do it every year, half day, they provide the bikes and it’s free. IMNSHO it’s something every rider should do at the start of the season.

The best tip I learned was that you should assume you’re invisible.

Yeah, rule one is that you're invisible; rule two is that if they could see you they'd try to get you! LOL

MSF courses are worth multiple times the tuition fee. A technique I learned in one save me the very next week.

Don’t put limits on yourself that don’t really exist.

Last summer I saw a couple walking (shuffling) up to their gold wing. Both had to have been in the upper seventies.

I was afraid someone was going to break a hip just gettting on the bike.

A guy in the HOG I belonged was in his 80s.
