It only matters IF you ride.

It doesn't matter much if you don't ride HD and want to participate here. Just keep in mind that this is a HARLEY forum, and as such, HARLEY topics are the ones discussed.

Cheers!

It really doesn't matter to what other people do if they are not hurting others. It matters very much to me that I ride, and that I ride HD, and that I have people around me that share my passion.

Enjoy the forums.

Regards,

Bill

What you all said already. If you ride, you're a Brother or Sister Rider, and share the same passion as we all do here. Life's too short to worry about what everyone else is riding.

Welcome Buett!

Yep, I think most of us owned something besides a Harley at one point in our lives. I now own a Harley and want to talk about Harleys with my fellow Harley owners. That's what this forum is designed for...

Regards,

Ryan

Why is it once you own a Harley, you don't go back to anything else? [sm=violin.gif]

Been lurking for a while, but finally joined. I would hope it does not matter what you ride...the less cages the better for all of us.

I have 2000 FLSTC and a 2002 Honda VTX1800. 18,000 miles on the HD and 27,000 on the Honda. Both great bikes and provide a totally different riding experience. Love the HD for 2 up and trips. Love the VTX for pure power, speed and excitement.

Ride Safe--Rick
