I probably dislike most of the same Harleys that the haters dislike. At least 9 out of 10 that I see, (or hear), I don't like. But when one is just right, I love it. I also don't like 9 out of 10 911s that I see.

I definitely need to get a HD "out of my system". I've been riding for 35 years, never had one but always had a soft spot for them. I find them very comfortable to sit on, something that's become more of a factor as age and back surgeries add up.

I might not have liked any of the bikes you guys formerly owned who are off of Harleys now. The "Harley craze" is finally over and coincidentally I'm in my 50s, so it's time to try one. I would not have been caught dead on a Harley in L.A. during their trendy years. I just can't do what everyone else is doing, it's not in my DNA.

As a lifelong car gear head, usually surrounded by non-car people, I am frequently asked what my "favorite car" is. Of course their is no answer. Any car guy knows this. I have 2 dozen "favorite cars". If I was rich, there would be a hanger full of hardware at some local airport with my name on it. I don't think I could even keep the number of Porsches under 5 or 6.

I'm a little eccentric. I drive a 30 year old Mercedes diesel and love it. I like 1960s Cadillacs a lot. I also want a new 991 w/ PDK. I love a good diesel PU truck. Motorcycles? I have about 20 or 30 "favorites". I just happen to want a Harley-Davidson at the moment.
