    You come up with some very intelligent and constructive replies! - so you've got a big Willy have you? - you got a big brain to match? - not much sign of it so far! - top of the class at school! (I assume you still attend school).

    I rode my old manager's HD (whilst I owned a Duc Monster). It was a lovely Fatboy (like the Terminators!), not my cup of tea ride wise but very nice to look at and good if you are keen to relax and not keen on riding too hard. I'd compare it to riding a nice loud lay-z-boy. Have fun!

    I dont give a crap how things look, I dont care about brands, I like bang for buck and dont care what people think whether on a fireblade or nifty 50 and I just dont get harleys. Ridden them, felt like an old overweight farmbike with wet brakes. Alot of noise but thats about it.

    A Harley rider said something very similar to me last weekend.

    My reply was to the effect that you should be able to ride a Harley on a car licence. The performance of a Harley being comparable to that of a moped.

    I'd still like to ride one, but don't tell him I said so...

    Was ready to rock and roll this morning at 10am, my first impression was it was comfortable to sit on, just sitting there idling with the beast saying, come on dude lets roll on. So away we went... the roar of the big twin, left me with grin a wide as a cheshire cat and was amazed how controlable the Harley was around corners, all being cautious of course. The power is something else though, not as quick off the mark but the torque on the open road was like having a rocket booster attached to the back end!.
    It was an awesome experience and people who are lucky enough to own a Harley have my full respect and admiration. But would I buy one? IMHO...yes... if i can afford one, so for the time being will stick with my Sportsbike and keep pootling along my merry way....hmmm that Harley grunt will haunt me with pleasure!!!

    It's actually very comfortable, sort of like riding a lounge-suite...
