You know it... I love it, but it's not getting any use. I think I want to
sell it, buy a big ass Harley Davidson. Call me crazy, but you won't be
the first.

Anyone interested in a Nitro?
Sold my Harley FatBoy, bought me a Dodge RAM 1500 4x4, Tracker TX-17 and a
62" DLP Tele to watch the outdoor network on. Doing lots of fishing,
hunting, enjoying it with the kids, etc.

Still jonesing for the ride... But love the sport. Keep the boat!

One thing about it though Charles, you will NEVER catch a catfish on any
kind of bike.
A real plus.

Charles, I think you would look good on a Harley. All you need is
some hair and a beard :}

Don't temp me!

Just like the cartoons :}

Haven't put too much thought into it, but after last year... I doubt it.

So are you going to become "the bikepro"?

You wipe out & almost kill yourself on a bicycle, then you go & sell your
bassboat & get a motorcycle?

That makes sense I guess...

If you're completely insane!

My history, if you want to look back, never was too good on two wheels
anyway.

Second Grade: Racing down hill against a neighbor and wiped out in front of
my house. End result? 60 stitches in the middle of my forehead. Countless
scars along my arms and legs, and my mom said it took about two hours for
the doctors to remove about 90% of the gravel.

Moving on along to about the 8th grade, skipping many wrecks that just
scraped me up, I'm riding along in a friends back yard when the front tire
lands in an empty hole causeing the rear wheel... rider included to flip
over. Rear axle punctures ankle with a 1/2 inch hole about an inch deep.

During the following year, after receiving a new ten speed for Christmas,
I'm racing down the street against three other guys, winnig of course, when
I stupidly try to change gears while standing up pedaling under power.
Results: Deeply cut palms, dislocated knee, and I really should have went to
the hospital. Parents weren't home, brother was stoned, so I tended to my
wounds and repaired the bike later.

Oh... 1985. I'm at a friends house checking out his new (used) motorcycle. I
get on and run it down the street. Somehow... he omits telling me that the
rear breaks don't work right, so as I'm going around a curve I find out the
hard way. Luckily I had my choice this time as to what I was going to crash
into. A car, a chainlink fence, or mailbox. The latter seemed like it would
do the least damage to my skin so that's what I took out. As I pulled myself
up, making sure that there were no parts of me bending the wrong
direction...I start reassembling parts that came off the bike. Lady that
owned the house is out there raising hell about her mailbox, and Bubba from
down the street is saying something about seeing me come around the curve
"way too fast" and knew I was going to wipe out. I told both of them to shut
up as I climbed my aching body back on the bike and told them I'd see them
after I got out of the ER. I went back to my friends house... then to the
ER.

There's alot more... but it's getting boring. But before I got married I had
a sweet little GS550 that did me very well. It was probably the first thing
on two wheel that I didn't crash... unless you count the time I dumped it in
the back yard. I'm hoping that my years have given me a little sense and I'm
old enough to understand that speed isn't everything.

Maybe....

Insane??? You decide.

I owned a number of Harleys over about 15 years, and I sold the last one two
years ago.
One thing to think about these days is what type of street environment you
will have to ride within. If you will be forced to do a lot of your riding
on main drag suburbia streets packed with very distracted cellphone using
commuters and soccermoms, riding a bike is not really much fun. You tend to
have white knuckle experiences about every 5 minutes.

Just to clear the air... a Harley is NOT in my future. A Honda...
maybe... never a Harley.

(Sorry Wisconsin)

Why? I've owned plenty of both and inspite of the hype and attitudes
there isn't really that much difference. The smaller Hondas are cheaper,
but that's about it. Take the top of the line from both, and
maintenance, life, and price are about the same. Say ReclinerWing vs
UltraBarge. Harley has some non-quality (persay) advantages. Resale
value is exceptional, and the huge aftermarket pretty much guarantees you
can keep your Harley on the road as long as you want to.

My wife was estatic when I broke my last bike's motor beyond repair. Her
statement was you never fell off your race car!
