Default The CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor.

Yes, and for the ladies you can weigh in with the GDI factor too I guess.

For the rest of us though, what are your tails... I mean tales... involving the CDI Factor? What turns the trick (not implying any illegal activities, of course)? For me it seems to be the sound, the abundance of leather and just the whole "I'm doing something that most chicks don't do" thing.

I'm just back on a bike (my first Harley) this past summer, after 25 years in the cage. It's brought women out of the woodwork... or has revealed a side I'd never seen in some girls I already knew. Jeebus! Now I'm working on my list of excuses just so I don't have to ride 2-up all the time (kidding on this point, sort of)!

Sorry, I bought this bike for me! I put a Mustang Vintage - solo on, so there wouldn't be any confusion... but that's just me.

+1 to that. I bought my ride for no one but me as well. Just commenting on what's happened since.
