I should have got a Harley

A friend of mine bought a 2010 Sportster and one of the foot pegs fell off before he got home from the dealership! Lucky he was close to home. How modern you mean like yesterday modern?

Another friend of mine has rode this same Sportster and say's he wouldn't have it. He said it was "loud and vibrated like hell".

in the last 5 years or so harleys have come a long way.
I think they use locktight now.

B.S. they're still underpowered overpriced POS's.
Most Everybody I ride with rides h-d's and even the v-rods are slow
compared to my wifes Rocket...and hers is RED.
They KNOW they can't keep up with a BLACK rocket.
Rhode Warrior,
that 127 model looks good though, nice job on it.
built any pipes for your rocket?

I would venture a guess that the majority of Harley owners, and all of those for whom the Harley is their first bike, have no real concept of what a motorcycle is all about. I doubt many of them have intentionally slid the rear wheel when exiting a corner, or placed a knee down on a perfectly executed apex.

For most of them their motorcycle is more of a lifestyle statement, or worse yet a piece of butt jewelery. Most that I see ride their motorcycles like they are two wheeled convertibles. Of course there are exceptions, but they seem to be few and far between.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
