Harley Davidson
Discussion
Love it!This thread is a great example of the bizarre two-way snobbery between HD aficionados and "others".
I ride my Street Glide from the North of England to Italy regularly, and I can't think of anything else I'd rather do that journey with.
I blast around the desert on the KTM and the same logic applies.
Now I don't slide my knees on a track but you get my point.
Ride safe

Have had a Night Rod Special, A Fatbob and a Fatboy.
One of my biggest problems with HD is the fact they appear to name all of their models after dildos.
How about a "FLTCU Rubber Mount Dresser Classic Ultra" ?
at least Harley havnt gone all politically correct with their marketing....yet ....

Ooh ooh ooh, a thread in BB where we can say nasty things about Harleys
Mines terrible.
I die on every corner, get overtaken by every mobility scooter and get bummed by the Village People when I fail to filter at the lights.
Girls never want to ride on the back. They hate it.
Am I doing it right?

One of mine handles like a dream, the brakes are good enough to do stoppies, it never fails to make me smile, it's loud but not obnoxious, oh yeah I own a Buell! The other one isn't that fast, doesn't handle as well, does stop well with the addition of some Brembo's but is great for a ride out on a sunny day.

Phew; it does go round corners, will cruise in perfect calm at well in excess of the injudicious limits, returns 50+ mpg, is very comfortable, will progress in heavy traffic with aplomb – oh and looks a million dollars.
How do you see over the top of cars in traffic when your head's probably lower down than the driver in an average car? I just don't see how they can be a good solution for traffic, a bit like those suicidal wierdos that like to use recumbent bikes/trikes in traffic.

The same way most people do , the seat height is little different to a moped or scooter , what a moronic question .
Almost as moronic as calling someone a moron without checking your facts 
I suppose I can't expect anything better from an HD rider though http://motorcycleviews.com/general/seatheights_sco...

Those common scooters are a good 3 inches taller on average, and if you look at the distribution most HDs are quite a bit lower than the average scooter. As I say, hardly the ideal tool for getting through traffic.
