a good friend of mine had been riding his dads old GW for years, loved it. He ended up trading it stright up for a 98 Harley Sportster (Im sure he would have owned a Harley long ago, but he's not that well off, money-wise).
He's not dellusional, and I would dare you to call him a ***** to his face (ex marine, and one of the toughest guys I know), he loves for any reason to start kicking someones ***.

Now the other guy that won't ride if there is a chance of rain? Well he's a *****. Bet your good friend has been in the rain plenty.

gold wing riders wave and act friendly---bmw riders totally ignore everyone but their own. lots of wing riders have come over to harley-but i have never met a bmw rider that has changed to harley. i do not hate any bike rider--but those bmw guys are not on my christmas card list.

Another retiree and myself were invited to join an Ole farts riding group. Ends up we were the only two guys on Harleys, they were 90% Wingers. The next week, my friend received a phone call politely uninviting us. They didn't like riding with loud Harleys. I have Monster Ovals and he has Rush mufflers. Oh well, I've been thrown out of better places.

they have to keep their resale value up somehow riding in the rain lowers the value because of all the on board electronics get fried. Don't be jealous cause those things have like 20 cupholders, heated seats, air conditioning etc. All they lack is some roll up windows

I've met more jerks, clowns, and idiots who couldn't ride worth a hoot and thought they were hot stuff on Harleys than any other brand out there.
I think GWs are really neat looking bikes. If I had the money and garage space, I would love to have one. I think the fact that they are whisper quiet is pretty cool too.
