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 fk 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 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

It's in the pub that I bump into them. They are far too sensible to ride their bikes to the pub. They always wear their colours though

colours? real colours that belong to an outlaw club? or boy scout patches like anyone else can get by paying their membership fee ?

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 :-)
