Personally, I have always admired the diversity amongst Harley owners with the one common thread being they all liked Harleys. How many different ways could you describe them, such as, old young, middle aged, men women, old school, touring minded, sports, chopper. antique, baggers, sofas, professional, badazz, chromed, stock, blacked-out, modded, built,and on and on. I think the diversity is one of the things that makes the Harley culture to be as popular as it is.

Don't understand that statement at all.

Don't really understand that one either. So a VRod looks like an Ultra to you? Straight pipes sound the same as stock exhaust to you?

If you're tired of Harleys maybe it's time to move on to something else?

Not sure what you'd be trying to prove, but go for it if you think it would make you feel better.

My neck of the woods has always been Harley country, so I guess I'm used to seeing them all the time. There do seem to be more folks riding and riding Harleys around here these days, though. Good on 'em. One more rider on a Harley just might mean one less brain dead cager in a Chevy.

Considering how many stock and custom Harleys that are on the road, they only have two things physically common across the board: two wheels and a v-twin. Everything else is different.

At least there are thousands of accessories made for Harleys to make them look the way you want.

Why not buy a goldwing, they ALL look different from each other.
And what about all those metric Harley wannabe cruisers. I can't tell one make from another until i see the tank badge (if it hasn't been removed).

Buy a Buell. Then you'll have a Harley and be different at the same time.
