I'm thinking about buying a Harley Sportster. Possibly a hawg. Any motorcycle buffs out there? Thoughts?

Just please wear a helmet. I would hate for anything to damage your liberal thinking. You are the best salesman for conservatism I can find.

Have you ridden one yet? It's like driving a board with wheels. Very stiff ride. The evo I rode was still a blast though. The fatboy and wideglide are a million times smoother.

Forget the engine and get a Trek Road Bike. Both Harley and Trek are manufactured in Wisconsin.

In the past I had a Honda 90, Bultaco Lobito, Yamaha 305 and Norton Commando 750. I always dreamed of having a Sportster. I have a couple of friends who ride the big Harleys but I quit riding a long time ago. I have the bug to get back into it now. Thanks for the input.

All of you just be careful. Old people like me can not see you, and some times if we do, we just like to run you over. It's an old age thing.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

How old are you Nacho? If you're above 45, buy the bike its cheaper than a new wife.

There are a lot of bikes that are smooth these days. Number one thing is WEAR the helmet.

I have had a few but for the dollar ( I think this way ) do not get a harley. You pay twice the price for the name. I guess if you get a good deal on a almost new one that would be cool.

I have a V-Star Classic 1100 now. It rides great and is long enough for the wife and I to stretch out. Be Safe!

Forget V-twin air-cooled motorcycles. Put something exciting between your legs like a Triumph or Ducati. Triumph (factories in UK and in Thailand) now manufactures some of the most modern high-quality bikes being made anywhere.

A friend of mine is a Triumph guy. Has old ones and new ones. Victory is another good bike. Expensive.

I love the v twin air cooled bike. A Classic.

Have Fun and be SAFE.

FAT BOY, baby! Get a FAT BOY with a Habana in your mouth.
Damn the safety nerds. If you are getting on one in the first place,
you have already assessed the risk/rush relationship.

Have fun with it, and make it sing the good song!

I went and saw the Yamahas. Impressive. I've been thinking about a BMW bike. Thoughts?
