Same thing in NJ, but the proportion goes down to 7 out of 10 bikes...That said, I'm proud to be a Harley rider, even without the pot belly and facial hair.....2017 M8 FLHR on order.

where in New Jersey

You don't have to worry about storage or comfort when you only ride down the road to the local bike nights or trailer it out of town.

I've been on the touring bikes for so long that I actually am an old man now so I guess I've aged enough to fit the bill.

The only difference between my old Fatbob and my almost new Road king is that I don't have to strap my tent to the handlebars any more.
No one ever carried my stuff for me when I had the Dyna.
