Why'd he tell you to get a Softail? They're almost as stiffly-sprung as a Sporty. I'd have advised you to get a bagger for your creaky neck.

Anthing given to you by the government, is taken by threat of force or force from someone else.

Bump
Interesting question.
If a doctor perscribes a more expensive Harley, due to its softer suspension for your health, would the diffence between your original Harley and the new Harley be deductible as medical expenses on one's schedule A tax form?
I think there is some tax law precident with swimming pools.
Can anyone comment?
