We need more people on the roads with motorcycles, I can't think of a better way to solve our organ donor shortage.

Oh God. Those noisy pieces of shit annoy me. I hate it when people buy a brand new Honda, nice smooth riding machine and the first damn thing they do before leaving (hell, sometimes before even buying the bikes) is find out what kind of exhaust they can install that will make it louder and sound more like a Harley. What the fuck?!?

Meh, buy a Harley next year. It'll be cheaper since it isn't a "100th Aniversary Edition."

Anywho, I love motorcycles and I love their loud noises. I don't know why, I just do

Hey! Here in Ottawa, all of the biker cops ride Harleys! She doesn't mind but hey, what can you do? /runs away/

But it is true, all motorbikes that the cops use are Harleys.

About the only thing going for them is that they're classic Americana. Except the typical Harley tends to be much too big for the typical rider's needs. Most people would be better suited with a Honda or similar smaller motorcycle (Though Honda can 'em just as big as Harley does.) Though mind you, that Americana thing isn't quite as hot as it used to be. Especially since Indian went back in business not that long ago.

If you've never ridden one, you wouldn't understand.

Harley's suck ass. They look awful and anyone riding one is guaranteed to look like a fat slob even if they're actually fit. Give me a Japanese superbike, thank you.

GAH! You'd ride around on the wretched offspring of TRON knocked up by a starfleet shuttle? What is with you man! A motorcycle should look like a motorcycle. not some two wheeled neon green Mr. Roboto thing.

Have you ever ridden one (not as a passanger)?

Nope. I want to retain my non fat slob image

Put simply- the handlebars are too high.

If I bought a bike, I'd be a Harley. I'm not the biggest guy, so it'll have to be a smaller one.

That's because American bikes are generally from touring bike origins as opposed to the racing bikes of Europe or Asia.

Yeah, I've generally seen that folks who like crotch rockets don't like Harleys or other cruising bikes...

You say crotch rocket like it's a BAD thing.

Those little rice rockets are good at a lot of things, but I woulnd't want to spend an hour and a half bent over one on the way to Wildwood. Harleys are cruisers. The high handlebars put the rider into an upright posture, which is a lot more comfortable over a long distance.

Riding in the "fetal position" doesn't appeal to me...

Riding like your girlfriend is giving you a quicky is much better.

Ummmm... yeah.

Seriously, it depends on what sort of riding you'll be doing. Like RedImperator has said cruisers like Harleys are much better for long rides in relatively open areas. The crotch rockets are good city bikes.

If you want to end up in a body-bag. I still wish I could find that video of that idiot who pulled a wheelie going like 60 something mph. He looses it and eats road, and the guy filming him just about runs him over.

Classic.....

Personally, I could never own a Crotch Rocket because I would kill myself. But I would like a little Honda Shadow 650 just to cruise around in for grins.
