"I really didn't mean to come on as strongly anti-Harley as I sounded, but I've just gotten peeved with people with this "If it ain't a Harley it's crap" attitude."

Same here. Its not that I am "anti Harley", hell life would be much better if the world had more bikers, imho.

But I get oh so very very tired of the "If it ain't a Harley its crap" attitude you mention. What really irks me is when it comes from some idiot that can't afford ANY bike, let alone a Harley.

Bikers are bikers, period. Some are mechanics, and love the "tinkering". I'm not one of them.

"What really irks me is when it comes from some idiot that can't afford ANY bike, let alone a Harley."

Really, though. I always think to myself: "Well, you just keep dreaming about that Harley that you might own someday, if you can scrape up their asking price. Meanwhile I'll keep on riding my bike that'll do everything a Harley will and then some, and costs about half as much." Not that I couldn't afford a Harley if that's what I really wanted, but the CDN$10,000 plus that I saved is money I can find other uses for.
