    I've swapped for a coupla miles a coupla times and it always felt like I was sitting on an orange crate or something. With a Harley, I felt like a part of the bike, like I was sitting IN the bike, with the Gold Wing, I felt I was sitting ON TOP OF the bike, like I was top heavy rather than having a centered center of gravity. Just my opinion and feeling.

      While this isn't mine, this is the last make / model / year / paint and trim scheme of motorcycle I rode...

      A 1978 Honda CB750 F3 Super Sport. Sort of a Rice Rocket before the rice rockets were common...


      If I were to be willing to get into a huge fight with LOML to get a motorcycle (she does NOT want me on one) I would have to say this one... A 2009 Indian Chief Vintage.

        A 1948 Panhead, original (factory stock). I have *no* idea why - I just want one.

          I always had a passion for these two, both designs use the 6 into 6 exhaust that I like.

              NO IMAGE! does that mean you are drawings a blank when it comes to a motorized bike?

                Dream Bike

                I've done Harleys a long time ago* (a 15 year old '48 with foot clutch, then a 10 year old '54) I hear they've improved some since then.
                A long break, then a Honda 750 then a Goldwing, then a Venture Royale, and then a BMW LT.

                Now all I want is a BMW R1200GSA so that after a long comfortable ride on the highway I can putz around on the dirt and gravel roads that would be foolish on the big touring bikes. (ever try to get a Goldwing out of a mudhole?)

                Oh, wait; I've got a GSA! Life is good. (or it will be if it ever warms up)

                *How long ago? I hear you ask; It was so long ago that Harleys were the cheapest and most available used bike around.

                    THE Electra-Glide In Blue! I'm surprised that one is still around.
