Default "upgrading"

alright, im starting my own thread where I complain about something. its 2AM here, ive had several cocktails, and im tired of you guys talking about "upgrading". with ANY OTHER bike manufacturer, you dont "upgrade", you just change bikes to suit your riding style. it seems with harley's, the more you spend, the more you "upgrade". someone with a sporty "upgrades" to a streetglide or a fatboy or whatever.

i mean, do you really think that because you ride a $20K piece of metal that its waaaaaay more awesome than a $10K piece of hardware? i see guys who buy a dyna and ride the wheels off it, and then i see some dudes at my local spots that ride 2 miles a day on thier 2010 CVO streetglide that they just "upgraded" to.

how about stop worrying about how small your pe nis is, and start riding your motorcycle like it was intended to be ridden.




alright, i admit, i "upgraded" to a harley after years of metric rice rockets and the like. do you think less of me now?
