Default top 10 conclusions after several months

Here's my 'Top 10 list' after spending several months on this touring forem.
(letterman watch out)

People on this forem are 'dead wrong' when:

10. they call Road Glides's 'fugly'.
9. they say they have never dropped a bike...BS
8. they don't admit to sneaking out to their garage to stare at their rides
7. when they blame their wives on making financial decision for a Harley (actually not sure about this one)
6. they say metallic grey is the fastest color for a SG
5. they say cylinder head cooling fans work
4. they say that they would rather Not have a 'Rushmore' (thought i'd throw that in..)
3. they have solved wind buffeting
2. synthetic oil is the only oil to use
and the # 1 reason when people on this forem are dead wrong is
1. when they say Harley's are starting to look like rice burner's


thanks for your attention.

I am disappointed you didn't say anything about "pulling the trigger" LOL

"Your results may vary"


#3 almost no wind buffeting- in my car.

sitting on top of a motor I expect to feel heat, get my wind and be in touch with the time/place with all my senses.

I am completely inspired in my riding by Pirsig's Pink Book.

" #3 almost no wind buffeting- in my car." - just untill you roll down the windows.
# 10- Road Glides are Fugly. You just forgot to capitalize it. Man show some respect.

Regarding number 5 - and do you own one, how much actual testing have you done? Whatever!

What about proper location of gas cap or proper way to rock a doo rag. Sorry to say your top 10 is flawed.

Guilty as charged, especially during the winter, late at night with an adult beverage in hand.
