What do you use your Harley for?

[Bonez]

I think I'm about to go into mid-life crisis mode and need to know what HDs are actually good for.

Thank you for your input.

They're good for agricultural work.


Oh sorry...should have put a P/T there

Mid-life crisis eh? I'm sure there are better bikes to have a mid-life crisis with...Italian bikes are popular. Having ridden the pictured bike('95 Virbragilde) I can confirm that they do indeed vibrate lots, which might be good for a mid-life crisis. If you like to tinker & spend lot of money and do lots of work on your bike then a Harley might be just right. Lots of chrome to polish too

Harleys are good for justifying your long repressed love of tassles.

I am in that age group and test rode a Harley 1450 and a BMW 850R
For the extra $10k difference in price (new) the Harley test ride did
not make me feel the extra money was worth it .

went thru exactly the same delima 10 years ago choosing between a bmw and an electraglide

thank god somebody pointed out a very basic fact of life, what would the BMW be worth in 5 years time, basically not very much.

I bought the Harley & 10 years later / 70,000 miles later it is still worth close to what I paid and has for the most part been more more reliable than a bmw I had owned previously

On paper the bmw looks better, more performance and higher spec, however the depreciation costs need to be factored in

Yeah!! "New Old" Triumphs are great looking bikes. Anyone would look good on one. Even me.

[Hitcher]

Harleys? If you want one and can afford one, buy one.

Nothing on two wheels impresses women like Harleys.
It's all primal, that a man can tame 2 1/2 tonnes of thundering US iron makes them weak above the knees. They just don't think some hunchbacked race suit clad sprotbike rider is mating material.
