So far we are mad at Harley because of madness and 30 years ago they broke down a lot. I understand completely now how they wronged you.
Branding is madness, pure and simple. Many people here have no idea about other bikes or bikers because this is their first bike. If Triumph had 26% of the market you would see that the branded Triumph owners would act just like the Harley sheep.
Skillet, you were not in the thread. You don't flame other owners. I would suggest you throw your leg over a new one for 30 minutes. It won't break.
I will clarify one thing. I rode a Triumph to Arizona, it is not for sale. Nor is anything else I own. I am not long for this world but my future plans are to go back to Arizona May 08 with my son. I want him to see the beauty of the mountains on a bike and meet the great folks I met.
My motorcycles mean to me: The sun on my neck, the wind in my face, my worries left behind, racing forward into the adventure of the day. Riding is what I do and have done for 40 years.
I don't care what name is on the tank. If you ride you are my friend because just maybe some of you I wave to "get it". When I ride my bike, my bike and I become one, and all is right with the world.
You don't like my Harley, its price, or me on it. Kiss my ** cause I am going riding.
Sheep don't bite, ignore them, you will be better for it. Ya see, from across the lane you can't tell the sheep from the rider by the badge on the tank. That would make some of you wrong, a lot of the time.
