Please, I urge you to have your wife go and post that comment on our "Queens of the Road" forum. Your wife needs to be enlightened.
Welcome to HDF.

If you like men get a VRod
If you are not sure what sex is then get a Sportster.

Hope this helps.

If you like discussing the above topic with other men get a StreetBob

Actually, riding a Harley takes less strength than riding a metric. On a Harley, you don't have to pedal so damn fast to keep up with your friends who ride Harleys!!! Harleys also stear easier in the curves and twisties than metrics as well.

You shouldn't worry about lifting the bike. Your self-esteem, however.........could use a lift.

You wouldn't happen to be that guy on the Geico commercial, would you? You know, the one where yellow makes you sad?

Get the "Ride Like A Pro" DVD and watch the woman whip around her 800lb Screaming Eagle Ultra like it's moped.

When looking for your ride be certain you can comfortably sit in the seat and place both feet flat on the floor. Too many buy the bike they want and discover there is a height issue with being able to safely and securely touch the ground. Some lower the bike, some lower the seat if the model you like is too "tall".

And the taller baggers with tour accessories are more top heavy and harder to keep balanced than some other models.

These two key elements can be the difference in Life and death, or dumping the bike while stopping or stopped. Low speed maneuvers are always the most difficult part of the riding experience.
