My dad always had Harleys and the first bike I bought for myself was a Harley. However, I don't have Harley oil running thru my veins and I have ridden just about every kind of bike there is out there. I really feel sorry for people that are so brand loyal that they know nothing else but one brand. It's sort of like the guy who married the first girl he ever kissed. (Sure has missed out on alot.) Of all the different metrics I've ridden there were some really outstanding bikes. However, I also know that I keep coming back to Harleys as they are the only bikes that I consider "Magical and mystical".
