Same reason I bought my Miata... except for me it was accepting that passing the big five oh meant that my reaction time is not what it used to be... and my healing time isn't what it used to be

I also don't judge the three wheeler crowd, or the biker trailer crowd, or the horribly impractical chopper crowd... or the sport bike crowd... whatever floats your boat.

Is steering a Harley with a trailer even more different than steering a Harley compared to other motorcycles?

Who knows, but I would imagine steering a Harley on a trailer would be.

Why is my Harley like my Golden Retriever?

'Cause they both like riding in the back of my truck.
