As for someone liking Harleys, like everything having to do with motorcycles, its an emotional, rather than a rational, choice. I mean; its not like any of us are choosing gear to climb K2. After all, if that were the case we sure as Hell wouldnt be sitting around bashing a keyboard.
BTW, about the government getting involved motorcycling
