I have a tale to tell you.
Back in 1984 I bought an FXRP.A good buddy of mine not long after boughta new Kawasaki Eliminator with the wide assed back tire.He always bragged about how Harleys sucked and the Eliminator ruled,untill one day we switched.After 1 minute of riding that POS I had had enough.That buzzing assed plastic rattle box wasnt for me.
The next week he called and asked me to work a deal on a Harley as I was friends with the dealer.He then traded the new Kawi with 600 miles on it for an 1985 FXRC.
He has a Fatboy now and I still have the FXRP and also a 06 Wide Glide.

 

I presently own a 07 bob and a 04 zx6r. I like both bikes equally. Granted I am not one to wear a pair of jeans, some boots, and maybe a helmet on the crotch rocket. I wear ALLmy gear and generally ride the twisties or at the tracks. There is nothing more exciting then blasting down home stretch at 140 mph on the zx6ror cruising down to the beach on the Harley. They both make me smile from ear to ear. I just turned 24 and can ride the crotch rocket for hours. Once you get used to the bike you find ways to stay comfy...
