Don't think they're only brand that does that. Seem to recall read up of Victory rally recently and Boulevard owners have their own runs I think. Triumph have their RAT rides etc, etc
They have HOG rallies - do other brands of motorcycles go? NO, of course not - you'd be laughed at. We have rallies, and don't care who comes along. The more the merrier
Double shot!!
I've never ridden a H-D, or any larger cruiser. I am not overtly taken with larger cruisers or any bike at all, but I quite like the idea - maybe just for something different. It might be I was completely converted to them once I rode it one time only.. who can tell these things.. I'll ride one and then I will know.
I don't think there is a debate between sprotsbikes and cruisers. I just think they are different, and their owners are passionate about their own bikes and culture.
What I worry about mainly, is being part of their culture, which I am emphatically not. I am warm, inclusive, safe, and caring - mostly vastly amusing attributes to be belittled by the cruiser culture - well that is my outside view of it from what I have been subject to.
Prove me wrong - I invite it.

"Harley Riders" is a pretty broad church of folks. It includes criminal gang elements who ride them like they stole them (because they probably have), to the "born again" bikers of similar vintage to me who ride them because they like them and can afford them. And a wide swadge of folks between these two extremes.
Harley Davidson is the world's most recognised motorcycle brand. Some people use Harley ownership to define themselves and their "lifestyles", others don't.
There are some absolutely top-draw folks out there who ride Harleys.
Remember that all generalisations are false -- including this one.

Yeah Ducati have a national rally, well the DOC, Ducati Owner's Club NZ.
Next year its in Clive HB, so I will attend.
Every Triumph RAT ride, at least here, I've been on, us Trumpies have been out numbered by other makes, but think at the big RAT rallies its restricted to Trumpies.

I attended the National Ducati Rally in 2007. I took my MV Agusta but it gets better... a mate's Duc broke down so I lent him my CBR. I felt like Cartman in a room full of Jews.

I don't give a rats behind what bike people ride, it is after all a personal choice. A bit of inter-brand rivalry and piss taking is fine, though some do take it way too far over the line, and of course others are overly sensitive.
I regularly ride with people with all kinds of brands from HD's through to the big four Japanese brands and none of us really cares who is riding what, we're more interested in the riding and the camaraderie.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

Hardleys are an ideal machine - if I were afraid of corners and scared of speed I'd probably have one too.
Guest
Clearly you've never ridden a Hardley. If you had, you'd realise that riding one makes you more afraid of corners and speed.
Hardcore Biker
Well Im not afraid of corners and mine certainly gets around them allright. it tops out at 250kmh wich isnt bad considering my gsxr1000 will top out at 260kmh with the gearing im running.

Mate you should be ashamed....What self respecting 'king of bikes' rider doubles up on a tractor.
