Just like owning a car.
the tension seems to come from the late-in-life bikers
buy the Hog in late 40's or 50's as the first bike
these are the sort of dooshes that drop the tired old line
"don't you wish you had a real bike?"
folks who have been riding their whole life with several different makes don't do that
the squids on SS bikes don't help matters either
and I've given up the waving thing completely
except for cagers that decide at the last second to stop pulling out
they should be thanked for that
I have ridden for over thirty years . I have never met this " dooshes " that say get a real bike . When I rode other makes I never felt that Harley guys had any issues with me . Saying that every group has dick heads .

A man after my heart! I have an FJR and treat her like a rented mule most of the time. She's getting old, but always rises to the occasion and still runs with the bulls. I fixed the tire wear problem by switching to RP4 GTs, they go about double the Battleax standard on the front, and triple on the back. Had some Avon GTs on her too, they were just as good.
I'm warming up to the XR1200. I know it's not killer fast, but it looks like it would be sporty enough to be fun to ride. I expect the performance to be similar to my '81 XV920R. Prices seem to be falling a bit, I figure $6500-7K gets you into one with less than 25,000km.
In a month I'll start a thread called "Harley Davidson". That should be enough to get things started!
Isn't sporty a relative term? I think if you compare a XR or XLCR to a heavy cruiser you might see a tiny lean toward 'Sporty'I find it very hard to classify any Harley as "Sporty."
