Everyone I know that owns a Harley has the inability to shake hands properly, instead preferring to grasp your hand like you are preparing to do arm wrestling. What the f
k is that all about......I am talking about blokes 50 years plus of age
I keep my hands in my pockets now for fear of looking as big a tt as them if I succumb to their 'macho' greeting
Do they take their helmet off and then put a hankie on their head too ? I dont get the point of that myself but then I do still have my own hair k is that all about......I am talking about blokes 50 years plus of ageI keep my hands in my pockets now for fear of looking as big a t

k knows. I don't ask any questions as I don't want them to get the impression that I'm in any shape or form interested 
Dependng on mood, need to carry luggage/pillion, route/destination, I'll pick the bike I want to ride.
A week in Corsica with Mrs B as passenger? KTM Adventure.
A solo afternoon around the twisty roads in the Jura? Ducati 748R.
Gentle ride-out for a spot of lunch down by the lake? Harley CVO Breakout.
Just because I have a Harley, it doesn't make me a 'typical' Harley rider, similarly having a sportsbike or dual-sport trailbike doesn't enrol me into any particular tribe. I just like riding motorcycles.
I know I am fortunate to be able to run three bikes, but each one has its own character, advantages and inconveniences. That said, if I were allowed to keep just one, it would be the KTM, which can do most things pretty well. And with a lot less noise :-)
