Motorcycles and appointments

I love the Harley sound, but I live in a very small complex, and it can be noticeable when someone on a Harley (or any motorcycle for that matter) comes rumbling in. I've even asked gents that have the option of using a flashy car (like a little red corvette) versus an every day mundane car (like a VW Jetta) to please arrive in the in the mundane car. I like the least amount of attention drawn to me as possible. Originally Posted by rubytuesday

Therefore flashy vehicles of any type are not the method of transportation I use. I use a vehicle that is over 20 years old. All though it has caused issues by breaking down.(a thread I started). Saying that I would always ask before showing up with something which may potentially draw attention.If you know the lay of the land IE: type of neighborhood, then you can really decide for yourself. Fantastic input.

Huh interesting comment. I understood 4 stroke engines pretty much won over the market because people liked the feel of them better. Anyways my vstar is 4 stroke. Wouldn't matter - wifey lacks the adventure to touch even that lol.
Q: What do you call a Harley that doesn't leak oil?
A: Empty

Q: Why are Harley's some of the safest bikes on the road?
A: You can't go fast enough to hurt yourself...

I'm amused by guys who throw around "My Harley", as if I'm supposed to be impressed by their motorcycle prowess. Harley's are fine... And everybody should enjoy their ride... but they aren't the finest bikes around!

I agree... I was just kiddin with the jokes, but was also makin fun of those who think Harley's are the only bikes on the road. They're definitely out there!

Just a little curious here. forgive me XS cause still off topic. Why are the men all hating motorcyclists. While the Women are for the most part talking positive about a cycle showing up?

I ride, love men who ride, and love to go for rides.

(BTW, I'm a a kawasaki kind of girl. Owned an 08 Ninja before I moved to Houston and found out that people use motorcyclists as target practice around these parts LOL)
(Ok, not really, but the level of stupidity of the drivers on the road and their ability to do everything else in the car besides watch the road would make anyone not want to ride their bike)

Also don't care if you arrive at my private place on your bike, as long as you take me for (another) ride.
