Some people just want to be able to say "Yeh, I own a Harley". Hey, it"s a free country right.

If I could afford it, I'd have Harleys as lawn ornaments too!
Hmmmm, Capt. America for a lawn ornament, not a bad idea. There is an indybike shop called Freebird Cycles down on Lyell Ave. inRochester, NY that has an old Pan head chopper with a really tall sissy bar and ape hangers (but otherwise incomplete) up on the roof as a sign.
But no I think it would be more fun toride the beast rather than trim the grass around it. Besides with my luck some snot nosed punk *** kid would steal it, crash it and sue me for havinga defective bike.

That gave me another idea.... Just strap a lawnmower blade to the side of it like a side car, and turn the bike into a lawnmower! The wife would never have to say, "I think you should go mow the yard today." Hell, I'd probably be out there with a ruler measuring the grass and lookin' for an excuse to mow.

Or somethin' like this...

I have an old 74 Honda 350 I use for a lawn ornament. But I keep it behind the barn so noone can see it. LOL

Down the street from me a guy has a 06 FXST. He leaves it parkedoutside anduncovered. I have seen this bike move maybe 3 times in the last 8 months.Last week winter has set in and it has snowed twice, I can see the weather just beating this bike down, I fell so bad for the bike I want to just stop and put my extra cover on it. It is really none of my buisness but, it just downright bothers me. I waited so long to get my bike I cant imagine just leaving it outside to rust. Anyone out there feel me?
OMG!

I have had mine and my wife's in the living room! I couldn't let them sit out exposed!!! Atleast they could throw a cover on it, with old blankets and some sort of tarp!

If you could afford a Harley, you can afford a cover for it!!!!
