Always a Harley

[Maha]

I will get to the topic soon enough....

Over the years, almost without exception, everyone house I have worked in (gotta be 1000's by now) or at any gathering, guys (for the most part) have always had a passion. I conclude that the top three are...Fishing/Golf/Motorbikes. I gave fishing a go once, well twice really. Fly fishing when I was young and later, towards the end of last century. Nothing quite beats the feeling of circumnavigating Lake Tarawera trolling for trout. It appealed for a few months, not so any more. Played golf for a few years in Rotorua, every Sunday morning, three mate and myself would soend four hours or so at Springfeild hitting and chasing the little white ball..

Now, its all about Motorbikes and all the things that go with it, the people you meet, the enjoyment of being out there. But the question that I get asked most often by customers is...''do ya fish''? ''no''...''play any sport''? ''no''...I have a bike...''a Harley''? ''no''.

Yet another conclusion...those that are not envolved with bikes automatically think you ride a Harley when you say you own a bike.

I really do like the XL1200 Roadster, will I ever own one? who knows, but at least then I could say Yes! A Harley!

If I end up with a K1200s and say, no its a BMW...the reply would probably be...''didnt know BMW made bikes.

Funny, when I've told people I ride I get asked how many speeding tickets I've had or got!

'A Harley' is a generic term non-enthusiasts use for 'nice motorcycle'.
They are correct too.

Interesting, a lot of comments I get is just to be careful, perhaps they know me too well

Indeed they are correct, in part.
Puhoi Pub for instance, alot of bikes there on Sundays, and for any non-biker person walking by, they will stop and look at the Harleys.

You saying they are fit looking??....

There wont be a post found on here where I have dis'd a Harley, a very good friend owns one, dont know that I ever would but ya never know.
They just aren't made for what I want in a bike..well unless you buy an ugly one that is.

No Harley for me - if I fell off I wouldn't be able to pick it up again...would have to hire a crane...and besides, I don't live on a farm any more...

Yep, when people ask me what do I ride.?.... (thats after telling me I'm a temporary citizen and an evil Hoon ).

I say "A Buell"

usual response I get is: dead air, Silence, zip, nada.... nothing, then never heard of them.

Oh well..

The week before Easter, I worked at Graeme Crosby's house for a couple of days, he owns a Road King, I asked about his thoughts on it, he said '' its like a fucken big compressor''....I wouldn't wanna pick that thing up....
