My Bonnie likes to "mark the pavement" also...it's more uncommon to find one that doesn't.
I'm not a purist, though. I've got an old Sportster we recently stroked and did an unleaded valve conversion to. A far different ride than the Bonnie which feels like a dirt bike by comparison.
"My Bonnie likes to "mark the pavement" also...it's more uncommon to find one that doesn't."
That's what my husband said. That's the only thing wrong with it, though.
My husband isn't a purist, either, but if we're riding, he doesn't take his Triumph out, he uses his Dyna-Convertible. Now me, on the other hand, there is just something about a Harley...maybe the sound. Besides, I like to cruise. I don't see any purpose in riding 100+ MPH. These young kids that I see on these light-weight bikes scare the heck out of me.
