I get Harleys - I wanted one real bad in the 1970s (when they were scarce as hen's teeth) ... Now I'm having too much fun on big Jap IL4s ... maybe when I'm older ...

Is this why they need "tuning" occasionally?

Badoom, tish!.

Apparently, there is a Harley in this photo; I've been looking and I've been unable to locate.

Twisted is a requirement for longevity on this site. Bitter helps also. Cynical is a bonus. All three is the trifecta.

While I've been in tropical Queensland, my wife has taken to riding pillion with me. Now we're going to return to NZ in a couple of months we're having to think of the best bike for our touring purposes, her with a gammy hip and all. So the choices seem to come down to a Honda Goldwing, a Harley Ultra Glide or a Harley Road King with the clip on top box/pillion seat like on an Ultra Glide.

I never thought I'd be looking at a Harley, but they're two out of the three bikes that seem to best suit what we need. And it was a Road King that I hired up in Cairns that convinced the wife that riding pillion was a neat experience. For that I'll forever be thankful to the Motor Company.

It's not the bike that rides slow and who doesn't wave. It's the rider. And there are assholes on any type of bike and there are nice people on any type of bike, that's how the world works. I get more waves from HD riders here in north Qld than from all the other bikes. Maybe it's because I ride an white ex-Police Honda ST1100 that they might think they've been waved to by a cop and give a wave back in surprise

I've even had highway patrol cops wave to me, though that could have been a "slow down a bit or we we'll turn around and give you a ticket" kind of wave. Some of my most enjoyable rides have been accompanying a friend on his Harley.

All bikes are designed for a purpose, and those purposes are varied and many. Harleys are designed for cruising and might be best suited to the freeway cruising that you get in the U.S.A., but they're a bike for F*** sake and we should celebrate that there are riders out there on two wheels whether they're riding a Harley or some other brand or style of bike.

We're all together on two wheels, rejoice in that and marvel at our diversity. And if someone doesn't wave back or is riding too slow, don't get your knickers in a twist, just enjoy what you are doing and let the other guy get on with what he's doing.
