Ha, I traded in my Honda on my bike.&nbsp\\; I think the dealership got the bad end of the deal.[8D]

I actually had a 93 CBR 900 then moved on up to an RC 51.&nbsp\\; Those were the younger years, but if you're gonna buy a cruiser, buy the original.&nbsp\\;I don't look down on these guys but don't come up beside me with an attitude and a bowl of rice.

ORIGINAL: aviscomi

I took the York Plant tour 2 weeks ago and I recall the tour guide say that, "20% of the Harleys that are built are exported to Japan". \\\\\\; Food for thought...
Lots of Harleys over here. They have the same rep in Japan for being the real deal original.

As for metric cruiser riders, they know what they really want and I know what they wish they had. When they talk trash about Harleys they are just trying to convince themselves they made the right choice with the cheaper metric. If you talk to them long enough they often admit they wish they had a Harley.

I've got a friend who rides a Honda Shadow.&nbsp\\; He's cool, told me he can't justify the money for a Harley right NOW.&nbsp\\; That, I can respect.
&nbsp\\;
He'll have one.

This thread started me thinkin a bit.. When I was a young bike builder, the biggest import available was a Honda 305. Your choices were between a "Dream", "Scrambler" and I think it was a "Super hawk"?&nbsp\\; But this of course gives away the fact that I am on the other side of 50 and aint expected to remember stuff....
&nbsp\\;
Blessings..

I had a fellow walk up to me the other day, when I was getting off my bike in the parking grarge.&nbsp\\; He started a motorcycle conversation...wanted to know the MPG on my bike and other stuff.

He said his wife had told him it was "OK" with her for him to get a bike.&nbsp\\; She only had one requirement...he had to get a "real" motorcycle...a "Harley"!&nbsp\\;
