Aw, c'mon guys, seriously?

A new guy is all excited and wants to talk about Harleys, and he gets bitch-slapped for it?

I assume by "poll" he meant as in "take a poll", because if he wasn't familiar with this specific website software, he wouldn't even know that there was a "Poll" applet for that.

Cut the dude some slack, willya?

Easy to get parts for, largest dealer network in the world, easy bike to maintain and service, incredible aftermarket support, I have always loved the practical style and appearance of Harley Davidsons.


If you are going on long trips in North America, there is only ONE (1) brand to buy and that is a Harley Davidson.

I'll treat this as a first time ever question and I will answer it like I have told others, If I had to explain it, you'd never understand and one more. Once you get on a Harley, nothing else will do.

I needed a motorbike that would look better with me on it, so it has to be a Harley. No other bike had the look for me.
