I have to admit, I have had plenty of Harley's, but I really don't know how to fix them. I could change the oil, but beyond that I prefer to not touch them. I figure, I write a check to the tech guy which in turn feeds his family; sending it down the line if you will.

I worked damn hard to get through years of school and constant continued education (as did my wife). If I want to buy a new Harley ever year than I will. If I want to pay someone to add every accessory I buy I will do that too.

Of course, I ride about 12,000 miles a year (as does my wife) so you can call me whatever you please. Oh ya, I "say high" to every motorcycle I see no matter the brand. Heck, I even did that to a moped the other day.

I do see your point a little bit though; why buy a motorcycle if you are just going to trailer it? However, I could care less as long as you are having fun and not hurting anyone.

 

I have my first HD, a o8 Road Glide. I ride to work every day and on weekends when I can. Still learning about my bike! What's that make me?

 

i'm a blue collar prison guard who only needs to count to 300. Not jealous of the rich guys....hell maybe they will buy me a beer if we meet up in a bar...don't get me wrong i make a good wage...if i was smarter would i have a better job and make more..................HELL YEAH

 

I suppose I'm a fake biker since I just got my first Harley a few month's ago... I do still have my first bike I purchased as a junior in high school back in 1990 though... Been workin on makin' it into a "jap-bobber-on-a-budget"...

 

I wear tennis shoes.............. tennis? Never. I buy a Harley t-shirt from everywhere I go like a collection. My wife collects those little bells. I wear a leather vest because it's easy to clean the bugs off and it has more pockets than my t-shirts do. My ex-brothers in law use to build trikes into choppers (one had a knuckle in it) but never rode 'em. It was just a hobby and a social thing.

FirstRealBike....... nice bobber. My first bike was a Honda 150 Dream that the previous owner bobbed LOL. No front fender, bobbed rear, decorative chrome removed. I rode it to school and work. In the rain I would jam a hunk of old tire between the forks to keep the mud off my face. Still kinda miss my '69 Bonneville.

No sure I've seen a $30K Harley. Will the answers be supplied at the end of the thread?

 

 

Sigh!!

Not again!!!!

I wonder who on this forum bought his first harley before anybody else. Is he a real biker?

 

It's just the question you asked, has been beat to death so many times, over and over and over and over and over and over and over an over and over again, that I"m surprised this thread wasn't locked as soon as a mod saw it. Perhaps, a suggestion if I may?? next time use the search function and see that enquiring minds, run the same gamut time after time.

 

Mods ... can we pls start a new section. DQOTM (in place of BOTM) Dumb Question of the Month ?
