Yes! That so works for me!
I’ve got a buddy that I’ve done tens of thousands of miles with. He rides in Indian and loves to remind me how it’s ”just as good” as my Harley.
But then again, there was that one ride together while at a light when he says to me:
”You love your bike. I wanna love my bike like you love your bike.”
And that sums it up right there.

I’m kinda bummed because it’s the Triumph guys who could say LED Zepplin, Stones & Thin Lizzy.
We can go vintage and say Elvis, Cash & Muddy Waters

I e rode many different Goldwings and I have to say I’m way more comfortable on my Harley. Nothing against the Wing but it’s way too sewing machine feeling for me. I’ve not had any major mechanical issues with my bikes over close to 150000 miles of riding. Sure I’ve changed things like clutches, compensators etc but the feel I get on the Harley will be hard to get on the Wing for me. I’m glad you love it but now it’s time for you to move to the Goldwing forum. Nice riding. Buh Bye. It’s been lovely.

112000 on my 07 FLHTC I bought new on 07-07-07. My maintenance guy is still riding it and is solid. I switched to trikes. Put 20000 on my first Sportster, the the FLHTC, then I bought a used Tri glide and after I knew I wanted to keep a trike I traded for a 21 Tri glide with 1900 miles on it. Less than 2 years on it , only have 13000 miles. Riding it to Canada this summer to visit family.

Not going to read all of the post but my 2cants is: I had a 72 450 Honda kept it about 4 weeks back to a sporty and never looked back. Most of the the other bikes back in the day were throw aways. But there were always old HD's around, I guess people liked them. All of the other bikes tried to look and sound like HD's but never did . Why is that I ask myself. HD's are the kings of the road and always will be and the same questions will be ask what's better HD"s or ????. Like everything will be compared to Harleys.

LOL I was a Harley rider with over 100,000 miles experience who got disillusioned with the whole HD thing.
I tried to be fair in covering the major points between the brands and my take on the two bikes, I guess some people got their head in the sand and dont like criticism, as I said I WAS the biggest HD fanboy but things changed.
