Well, the topic invited the questions...so this is the arena to make the impolite remarks about the silly k-rap'd scooters and the riders who seem, some might say, to be posers.

Most people can't escape the consumerist propaganda, so when they make fools of themselves we can hardly take a position critical of their weaknesses, can we?

Fella wants to do a thing, by all means let him! He'll come 'round, or not, in time.

Been riding since the mid-60's. Don't know if I'm "old school", but I'm definitely "old"! I've owned just about every model bike HD makes, Sportsters, Softails, FLHs, Dynas. I've had three bikes with radios. I can take them or leave them. Truthfully, when I did listen to the radio, I listened to sports talk, not music. Never saw a motorcycle I didn't like something about. I don't care for the big wheel bikes, but I can appreciate that some people do. And I can appreciate the work that goes into building one. Don't care for "choppers" either, but again, I can appreciate the skills to build one.

I'm a big fan of old, stock Harleys. I'd love to have an old STOCK Panhead, Knuckle, or Shovel. Love the old Ironhead Sportsters too. All stock, in mint condition, are the bikes that make me drool, but to each his own.

I'd trade my wife for one of these! :

Me too. I've always loved the early flstf fat boys cause they look like a stock 50's hydraglide.

Cool I learned to drive a 4 speed and do burnouts on a guys in the neighborhood when I was 16. Mike had a dark green one radio delete with your options. That car was a friggin beast. I never forget those times. Would stomp your *** in the seat when you let it rip. That got me hooked on big blocks forever.

A black guy walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder, the bartender laughs and says " where the hell did you find that?" The parrot says "Africa, there's millions of them down there."

I've got the radio. The only other options are tinted glass and F-41 suspension.
