Cool The weird things you do when you have a Harley
Lately I have been in the habit of taking short breaks from work to go down to our building's car park just to look at my bike. I love looking at it almost as much as riding it!
Is that weird?

Nope.... normal. I would say not allowing so much as a fingerprint on it is more off the norm. My ducati sits dirty for long periods of time

I love looking at my bike. It's right where I want it in terms of gadgets and it's bad ***.

After riding for over thirty years and owning 9 Harleys, I still take pleasure in sitting in the garage and look at my ride. Never gets old….

It's just the same with me. I like looking at all the doo-dads I have put on her like the chrome switch housings, chrome forks and calipers, fishtail pipes, as well as all the Willie G skull themed bits like: derby cover, mirrors, timer cover, gas door and footboards.
She's beautiful!
