It's cool dude I don't get offended easily... it's just hard to tell through text sometimes where people are coming from...

Funny how it works. I AM old and my Harley makes me feel young.

My Harley has just that effect on me. Totally amazed by how fast it happened. The change started during the first ride! Love my bike!

I don't know, I feel the same no matter what bike I am on. Well, except for my wife's trike. It's got kind of a girly pant job on it and it makes me feel girly.

The feeling I get when I get on my new bike is a feeling of relaxation, freedom along with a general D.G.A.F. attitude... all in all it's a great feeling!

I miss the power at the twist of the throttle of some of my old rockets. But I enjoy the ride on the harley much more and I love the sound as well. A crotch rocket when in a large pack reminds me of a swarm of bees coming down the road. My Akrapovic full racing exhaust on my last rocket though made it sound like an F1 car so it was a nice sound, but I like the rumble of the harley vtwin much more

I always had respect for anyone on two wheels and that is the way I grew up even through the years of riding rockets. But I can remember many times waving at some Harley owners going down the road and didn't get the wave back. As if I wasn't good enough for the effort because I wasn't on a Harley. Never really understood that but every bike I have passed on the Harley I wave and get a wave back
