Cool Should I trade it in for a Softail?

I rode my friends Bad Boy the other day. Now I have the virus. Now I have to go to Sturgis or Laughlin. Now I have this uncontrollable desire to wear leather and adorn myself with skull paraphenalia. Eeeeeek!!!

I tell you what, my friend looks like a hippie and has a spare tire....and yet he is the one that is always being asked for rides....loud pipes and all.

He says that the harmonic vibrations of his Harley is such that at about 65 mph a woman can climax on the passenger seat (where the ol' lady sits). This has happened.....

Tell me all the reasons why I should keep the FD and not go get some American Iron.

You could get a nasty road rash. I'm referring the one on rotten.com entitled "Nothing gets between me and my Harley". I'd post the URL but something tells me I'd catch some heat for it. Explore at your own risk. On the other hand, anyone who gets a car like an RX-7 for attention from others is probably better off with something else.

I would think a sportbike would be of more interest to someone who frequents this form. It would seem kinda silly to me for an FD owner to trade in their ride for a slow Harley. Just my opinion...

Indeed. Plus you're hearing will never be the same after getting an uneven-firing-order harley.

I wouldn't do it if I were you, the only chicks you will get asking you for rides will be old biker chicks, you could get lots of young chicks to ask you fro rides in the FD.. And then there is always the point that you will be safer from other drivers in a FD. And you can drive a FD in the rain.

Cool

I am an avid sportbike rider....suggestion. DO NOT SELL YOUR FD. Go out an buy that HD and find out if it is you or not. If not, then go back to your FD. IF you ARE, then grow that belly!!

I have friends that are hard core track riders......but, on the other hand own HD's. The reason behind this is just due to the fact that there is not REAL reason to go THAT fast on public roads.

If you fear all out speed....the go SLOW.

Don't get rid of your FD in any case.

Also, don't just automatically go for a Harley. Take your time and check out other bikes. There are many brands of cruiser bikes substantially cheaper than a Harley that are better engineered and more reliable. Any cruiser can be made to sound like a Harley. Look for a good used cruiser and you can save thousands of dollars.

If you go about this right you can have a great cruiser and an FD!

Not all Harleys are slow....enter the V-Rod.

How many of you that posted a response have been on a Harley?

And even though it's not solely about my interest in the "little darlin's", there is a saying that fits quite well:

No butt, no putt.

Fat Harley Chicks?.....Well I guess it would be easier to saddle a big woman on the hog than shoe-horn her into the FD buckets...
