Well to be honest...I used to ride Japanese bikes....but I found out that 98% of the guys that ride them were homosexuals...so at bike rallys and things like that I didn't fit in because I liked girls. Then by accident...I went to a Harley bike rally and found that the guys there liked girls too. SO I advertised my brand new Japanese bike and sold it for $2,000 (it had 3,000 miles on it so it wasn't worth much anymore) and some fruity looking guy on a crotch rocket with hi top sneakers bought it. Then I went and bought my Harley andit has been fun ever since. So frankly speaking...Harleys are nice bikes but the whole fudgepacker thing with the Honda and Yamaha guys was just a real turn off.

I had a Kawasaki cruiser, and as someone has already said, they all try to copy them and fall short. Why do you think they all try to copy them? The first time I test drove my Street Bob, I knew what the difference was and I knew I had to have one. It's the looks, the feel, of the bikes and the family of owners. You will not find another group of owners of anything else that is so loyal or so dedicated. Harley listens to their owner's group like no other manufacturer. Harley actually tests the sound of their bikes to make sure that it consistently sounds like a Harley and sounds good to prospective buyers.

Since the subject came up, I doubt I will buy another Harley. If my Ultra Classic isn't my last scooter, and it starts to cost a lot to keep safe and mechanically sound, I will most likely go back to a Goldwing.

Not sure how loyal I am to any brand of motorcycle. I own other makes of bikes and my next bike may not be a Harley.
I was loyal to Chevy for 20 years. The way they handled what should have been a little issue with the brakes on my current truck will have me looking at other brands next time.

Don't let these guys fool you...

You know you watched that South Park epsisode. We are all gay, and love annoying everyone with our loud pipes. And the pirate costumes allow us to mask our true identities, so that we can hold each other's hand at bike rallies, while we sing Kumbaya in monotone voices!

Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub...

I don't know about your 'rection' (hell, I don't even want to spell it, let alone think about it), but my Honda Valkyrie with 6 Cobra straight pipes will certainly set off car alarms (as my neighbors, and several mall shopping centers, could attest).
