I keep pretending that I'm doing it to pick up chicks, but I'm not fooling anyone. I think I ride purely to keep myself sane, or whatever this state is that I'm attempting to pass off as sane.

I love this line from the article:
"A merger between Harley and Honda would be highly unlikely for regulatory reasons, since combined the two companies would capture 65% of the heavyweight motorcycle market."

My new favorite classification of Harleys: "Heavyweight motorcycles."

I hope they tank myself, a shiny new FXWG bought at a discount sitting in my garage next to the Bandito Grande` and Bonnie would round out the fleet quite nicely. I actually need a straight-line bike anyway, the Bandit's good at everything, the Bonnie is a great back-road blaster, The Wide Glide would work for slow cruisin' and sight seein'. What I'd REALLY like is a flame tanked '81 Wide Glide, now that would be the dogs balls

I would love it if the market would tank, I'd buy one of those lumps of lead if I could justify the expense.

The Japanese apparently are doing something right if they are able to make their cruisers weigh even more than Harleys. Don't just copy, enhance!
