When I show my bike to people who don't know anything about Harley's and tell them it's a "Softail", they just blink and develop a blank expression.

90% of the general population wouldn't know a Harley-Davidson Wide glide, from a Sportster... if it SAID Wide Glide on the side of the tank.....

Feels kinda wierd having a dude calling me charming. Oh well. Can't argue with that.
