If only I could, I'd go with an early Indian or even more, with a Kiwi Indian: IMHO those bikes are worth each and every cent!

That is like being proud of a snake-oil salesman who uses guile and deception to take money from hard working people's pockets.The only thing I could say in their favor, it's that Harley's marketing guru's made well their job... but I dunno if that's really something to be proud of...

Yeah... and you should also consider this is the case in wich the student has surpassed the master!!

Ergo, arguably they adore over-priced inferior design and inferior quality. What kid of brain does that? (See answer above)

It was crazy. I could hear the "thunder" 15 miles from Milwaukee. In the city itself It was deafening. I parked my bike at a friend's bar not far from what is now the Harley Museum. Unfortunately I was not riding a Harley. Instead I was riding my '74 750 Tiger. Anywhere you look bikes were parked handle bar to handle bar. I finally found a spot to park the old girl. I went into the bar for a barley pop, chatted up a bit, then stuck my head out to watch some of the acton. And there it was. Normally Harley riders are appreciative of old Triumphs as most of the old guys remember them as their first bikes. Not this time. My old Trumpet parked in the same spot but even though parking was impossible there were two open spaces on either side of my bike. I saw bikes ride by hungry for a parking spot but pass up the open spots once they saw my bike. That was my first experience in not riding a Harley in Harley Country.
