It means I overpaid for a motorcycle with 1950's performance.
The Harley lifestyle is all about image and vanity.

HarleyJObe Welcome to the Forum from central Texas, USA. Now to answer your question, my Harley says that 6 gun is an older rider that likes comfort, but is not willing to give up his youth, or his desire for fun. My Harley says that 6 gun has had Damn Well enough strapping things on his bike with bungee cords. My dirty Harley says that 6 gun loves, and rides his bike, but he doesn't worship it. These are some of the things that people can tell about me, just from looking at my bike.

Where I live, growing up with bikes meant you started on some cheap metric P.O.S you didn't mine crashing and fixing so you learned to ride and wrench. Then when you grew up you graduated to the HD.
I guess mine says I grew up. The fact that I can afford to have such an expensive hobby from where I started in life means to me that I am one stubborn SOB.

Would be cool to hear some of your responses
Just means I have a hobby and a way to relax. I hate golf, can only fish for a few hours at a time and I do not hunt. So my Harley is it. Plus I have met a ton of of really nice people.

My Shovelhead says it loves me and wants me to be happy.
Kinda sounds like Sam Elliot.

Mine says she wants to fly me to Venus, but usually only after a couple of hits of acid...
