Guys, I've always looked at it this way... Harley's, UJM's,European bikes, scooters, mopeds, etc. if it has 2 wheels and moves, I like it and I think it's awesome when someone rides anything with two wheels, just because of the simple fact that the person understands what riding is like.

...Sweet!

...This is a pretty well rounded bunch after all.

I've had Beemers, Hogs, Hondas, Yammers, Kawis and a Soviet era Ural w/ sidecar. 175cc to 80 CI. 35 year old to riddem out the showroom new. Which is my favorite? What ever I'm straddling! They all have good points and lesser points. They all had different capibilites. I enjoyed them all.
In my opinion, as long as your on 2 wheels your taking the same risks as I am on the roads, Untill you prove otherwise, your a brother to me..

...Hahaha! That's called stubborn pride.

I just told them I don't ride a Harley because I ride a classic! I also said I would buy a Harley when the Kaw wears out......

A huge biker named Reek cam up to me at the restaurant years ago and asked me, "Steve, I don't want to know why you ride a Kawasaki, I want to know why you don't ride a Harley." I told him I didn't like the style and the attitude that went with it. He stood up and said, "good answer" and walked away. That was at Bill's Hamburger Haven.
My 7 year old daughter told another biker, "My daddy says Harley's sound like a bean fart." These guys know me and have seen what I'm liable to do if FK'ed with. I don't cheat fair. He looked at me and asked, "Did you say that?" I just smiled, took a sip of my Coors long neck and said, "Yup." They never asked my opinion again.

I LOVE THIS! I have been a BI-Biker since 1981. When I bought this 1975 FLH. It was a bagger before baggers were hip!
I love all motorcycles! I have Harley Ink in my body. Not Kawasaki. Harley is the 3rd most notable marketing design in the world behind coca-cola and another? I have owned 1 HD and over 25 Z1-KZ's. in the past 40 years. can take apart & rebuild anyone of them without a manual. Painted, welded, modified, dragraced, dirt drag raced, sled weight pulled all of them. And when I can't swing my leg over one, It will be time for a trike!

Yeah, I'm with you, won't be able to make those hole shots anymore. Might as well be in a cage.

hello people; I'm new. Back to the OP riding in Memphis. I've been there a couple of times not on a bike but visiting my neice who's about to move west after being there a few years. On Beals St. a few times a year or every Wed, night they shut down the street and let bikes line up. It looks like Laconia. It looked cool and coming back from the Stacks museum I saw a whole side of a building with the club logo Black Swordsman. I believe it's on Southeern Ave. It kinda blew me away with the size of the logo and club building. But the mountains is where you should be and I heard it's hours away from Memphis.
I like most MC's Jap, Ero, American.

Wow you actually got a Harley rider to ride with you. I can't even get them to wave at me. Where I live there are about 6 of us who ride non Harley bikes and about 200 Harley's none of the H/D guys will even talk to us.

There's no cure for stupid.

Most of them are lawyers and will charge you if they talk to you

The man makes the machine, not the other way around. As for Lawyers, they're just out law bikers in business suits.
