I'm not really into bikes, never have been, but isn't it true that bikers in general have very mixed feelings about Harleys? One model boating friend has one and loves it to bits, he does custom paintwork on them as a part time business. He doesn't ride it long distances though, pulls it on a trailer behind his van when he goes on holiday. I also know two other people who bought new Harleys, one sold his after only riding it for a few weeks and gave up bikes altogether, the other one owned his for only a few days, did a swap for a Ducati, which was what he'd been riding before, and told me it was the worst bike he ever owned, I think vibration and handling were the two things he disliked about it most, I didn't dare ask if he's had a test drive before buying it. I don't know enough the subject to take sides in this debate, but why do Harleys seem to polarise opinion so much among bikers? They all seem to either love them or hate them.
