Well newt, I was in total agreement with ya there up until you said that thing about "jap bikes". You see, maybe I'm in the minority around here with my following opinion, but I'll walk up and admire a very nicely restored or well-kept early CB750(basically the bike that killed the britbike industry), or a nicely kept up late-70s GS1000S, or mid-80s 900 Ninja or in fact a number of older jap machines, way before I'd take the time to walk over and admire some ubiquitous chromed-out, ghost-flame painted Evo/Twin-Cam Harley cruiser.

(...though direct me to an old Knucklehead/Panhead/45" Flathead, and I'd definitely take the time to admire that!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
