You know, I never hear anyone hating Harley's except for on the internet.
It seems people love to bash stuff on the net, it's easy, and they never have to say it to anyone's face. I doubt they would say this crap in a bar full of bikers! LOL
Here are some serious haters....

Now they even have a facebook page for HH's

I LOVE ALL BIKES, as long as it has 2 wheels, I love it.
I own Harley's and Honda's too, love them both!
The absolute worse place for the haters is craigslist "rants and raves"
People get real nasty on there...most of them probably don't even ride..
The only thing I hate about a Harley is having to put it up for the winter....

Ragtop, why do you put it up for the winter?
I did the same way until about 10 years ago and decided that's for the birds. I went out and bought winter gear and rode most of the winter. Then I got smart and bought electrics....best thing I ever did. Now I can ride all winter (Chicago area) and have pity on all the chapter members that sit at home and moan and groan about how they can't wait for summer.
With the right equipment, you can ride all year....unless you're in Alaska. I even read someone rides all year there too. Sometimes I wish I was still down south, but then I'd miss the wonderful winter riding I enjoy now.
It's a little PITA to get all ready to ride, but once you get on the road, it's a great experience.
I've got some chapter members to ride with me every Sunday for what I cal my BBB rides = Blue ***** Brunch ride. Each year a few more join me.
If it has 2 or 3 wheels, it's OK in my book. I don't hate or even dislike other brands. I had jap bikes for many years in the 70's until they stopped holding their value and I couldn't get parts.

I had ridden Japanese sport bike all my life wouldn't be caught dead on a Harley. They broke down leaked oil , to me it was an " old man bike". Memorial Day of 2002 I went to DC to visit my son and saw the thousands of Harleys there for "Rolling Thunder" after I heard the sound of 1000 Harleys rolling down the street I was a Harley lover from then on!

I say the same thing to everyone who starts this convo on the road.
ITS A BIKE, RIDE IT OR SHUT UP.
Most the ppl who bring this up are the douche bags who's bike spends more time in a garage then on the road. I beat the hell out my bike ICE is the only issue here in OK not alot of snow but the ice is a killer.

Why am I here? I wanted to know more about the HD bikes and the culture and this is a good place to start. I did maka an offer on a 2004 Roadster a while back. The dealer excepted the offer then added a $300 surcharge that I did not care for - so no HD in my garage. BTW: this is the most interesting (entertaining?) of the four forums that I tend to monitor - and I mean that in a good way
