I don't want to see some trashy disease bag draped over a cool bobber blocking my view of the bike.

RE: The HORSE BC
Since I am a horse "supporter" I will defend my rag. Yes they bashed all the new HD models. One of the Motto's of the magazine is "F*ck the Factory." The street bob, WHICH I LOVE BTW, is the Motor Company's attempt to cash in on current trends. As expected they produced a bike that would appeal to a new group of buyers. Personally I had never of thought of buying a factory bike until I saw the Street Bob. HD is a Corp who has stock holders who want good returns. Their marketing department just has to watch TV and see what the current trend is on Biker Build off and build a bike somewhere along those lines. As soon as 100k billet bikes starting getting beat at shows by innovative nostalgic looking bikes, everyone wanted a piece of the action. Not just The Factory, but custom shops that had never built anything but long *** molded, airbrushed, super fat tired abortions that you can hardly ride started building "bobbers." Most of them look like kit bikes that someone threw together and painted with a spray can. They get that "old school" look that way I guess. Yes the Horse bashed HD and they talk smack about coontails and HOG, but the street bob was built to look like a "old school" custom. It is the factory's version of a Horse bike imo. If you build something like what I build, of course I am going to judge it and point out where it is flawed in its attempt at what I have mastered.

RE: The HORSE BC
One reason (THE REASON) I posted my comments on skanky dames in those bike mags is because motorcycles, motors, frames, wheels, etc. is where I find one of my escapes from my problems. And recently my big problems have been women related. So when I open up a magazine or chopper book to relax and see new ideas and creations the last thing I want to be reminded of is a female. They are the anti-bike. Often they are what would keep a guy from owning or working on a motorcycle and there they are in the same picture with one! That's like having a picture of a fully automatic heckler and koch G3, with an ATF agent posing beside it. Here's what you want and here's what keeps you from ever owning it or enjoying it. If I started a magazine called Cheeseburger Monthly I wouldn't have a Cardiologist in the centerfold. I know bikes and women go together in a "fable-ish, rebel and his gal" kind of way but my bike has a single seat on it and damn if I feel like changing that for anybody right now.

RE: The HORSE BC
Well I'm not busting on the rag at all. I have had a suscription for 4 years now and will have a subscrition for another 4 or longer. I could careless about the **** they say about Factory bikes or the factory! I bought my bike for me and nobody else. I wasn't gonna listen to other people when I have to make the payments and do all the riding.
I would love to build my own sure, But lack of funds, and other stuff life gets you into, plus I just don't think I have the talents to build one. So when the Bob came out I knew I could throw a downpayment on it and ride off! Cheers
