Well, I have both a Harley Softail and a Triumph SM... plan on keeping both of them, my Ymaaha and Suzuki, I'll just ride till they wear out and then trash...
Two things about both marks.. you can keep rebuilding the when they wear out..try that with a Jap bike...except for a few models, you cant' get parts...
although the Harley design is antiquated, you can get/make parts...and isnt' that true of Triumph also?
And you can sure believe that the real Harley bikers and riders cut down the RUB and trailer queens just as badly as anyone else...if not worse...
Talked to one guy that rode to Sturgis... he picke up his 07 Harley at 4pm one day and took off for Sturgis the next morning... from Los Angeles, then was going to Pennsylvania to see his folks and then back to LA...
Said he saw a minivan pull up and park at the curb on a side street in Sturgis... out climbs 6 peeps, all dressed to the t's in Harley leather everything... not a single bike, or a single wrinkle in their brand new very shiny leathers...
Have heard lots of other stories like that as well...
I do have friends that trailer their bikes... but they live in places like Wyoming... if it wasnt' for the Toybox, they'd have about a 2 week riding season...
I like all my bikes... they're all different and fun to ride in different ways.
Now I have to find an old Triumph for my brother to rebuild..sheese...it never ends...
