Yep, time us 'older' ones lead the way to show tolerance and maturity?

(but a bit of leg-pulling never goes amiss!!)

Never !!

Amen to that

Lou has a good point that slipped past me even.

Yep, a lot could buy any other bike for less $$$ but chose a Harley, each to their own again.

MOST of the time you buy the bike YOU want and can afford eh?

BTW(How many H-D knockers have (a) ever ridden one and (b) could afford one??).

Not to mention the fact that a 15 year old Harley is still selling for almost as much as it was new. Check out the devaluation on your bike lately Lou??

No, but I dropped $600 on my RF when I traded it after 2 years.
Horrendous!
Those Suzukis sure lose value.

They do if you are the poor unfortunate who paid $17k for one and then find that Suzuki NZ have decided to dump a whole lot of Canadian RF models on the market for $9995 as happened a few years ago
Good old Suzuki and their summer bargains (read stock they can't move "so lets slash the price and never mind the resale value of second hand models)

Its not just Suzuki who did/do that: the first brand new bike I ever bought was a 1988 Honda GB400, from Sawyer Honda in Wellington. About 2 months (i.e. 2 payments after I got it, they reduced the price from $4299 that I had paid to $3899. Since I had decided I didnt like it by this stage, and was trying to trade it, that reduced my trade in price significantly. Scarred me, it did. And put me off Hondas until 2003 when I purchased a 1972 CB750K2.

to get back on track, I must be watching too much TV, cos H-D are starting to look cool to me, and since its one of the few widely available bike brands I havent ridden.....

maybe itll allow me to forget my day job, and pretend to be bad-ass for a while.

Canterbury's Jesse James ??? (somehow I doubt it)
