Default How many HD bikes on your block?

I am so jazzed because when I get home in 29 days to pick up my 06 Dyna,all but 2 houses on my culdesac will have harleys.(8 homes,7 HDs as one house has 2.Him and her both ride) I was always a bit envious when the neighbors drive by and waved....well no more!
Heres the breakdown

Dyna SUperGlide(mine)
1 softtail heritage
1 road king custom
1 electraglide classic
1 1200 sportster
1 fat boy
1 softtail standard

Too cool
By the way I live in a nice rural/wooded country neighborhood north of Green Bay by 20 miles in Wisconsin.ANd the neighbors with no bikes are not selling.However the one neighbor who does not have a Harley has a metric bike(actually 2 they belong to their college age sons)

I think 2 (including mine) but I never see the guy ride. He pulled it out one weekend to clean the garge out I believe. But, I do have a neighbor with a GMC truck that has a Putco Harley grill cover on it! Does that count?

I have a neighbor with a metric cruiser, but I live in Orlando Florida so there are Harleys everywhere. Did I mention that we ride year around.[sm=groupwave.gif][sm=groupwave.gif][sm=groupwave.gif]

wow, that is a lot of iron.

there are tons of bikes on my block, and my building recently had at least a dozen, though currently down to 6 or so. its a pretty motocycle intensive area, as we ride year round, and have a pretty dedicated riding culture, where its many peoples primary vehicle.

that said, not one harley.

come to think of it, no cruisers either, not one. all sportbikes, standards, and a few vintage-ish (70s and 80's) bikes and a dualsport.

I live in a developement with 37 lots/36 houses and there are now 6 other HD's. Plus, There is one guy who is a total speed maniac and is married to this tasty blonde babe with huge cones and he rides a custom fatboy with straight pipes and his wife rides a 1200L stage 1. Plus he has a silver viper with headers. So this guy is constantly ROARING around the neighborhood in the viper and his HD. Meanwhile, she rode up and down the street with a low cut halter top the other day.........OK KB GET TO THE POINT!!![:@]

This is a hell of a show and nobody even knows my bike exists..........It's frickin great[sm=bounceybounce.gif]
