Posted: 9/16/2008 6:38:58 PM | If it's not Harleys, it's how tall the guys is. Or how long he is. Or his bank account. Or the number of girls he's banged. Or his tats. Etc. etc.
My point being, don't purchase or do something just because it attracts women. Because there's always going to be something women want that you *don't* have.
But if you're into Harleys, well you're lucky, because I guess they're an item on the "Sexy" list, as opposed to say computers or rockets. lol | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 9:13:13 PM | Its not necessarily the virator thing. I grew up on bikes and there is a sense of freedom that you have on a bike thats like no other feeling. Its the wind in yout face. Looking around and seeing the world as it is with nothing hampering your view. For me its not a Harley its bein on a bike period. I love it. I will have one next summer and I dont want to ride ****. I want to drive. I had my own bike years agp and I will have another one.   | |

This past week I bought a Harley, why because it is American, one of the few quality items still built in the US
"Assembled" in the USA using Italian electrics, Japanese (Honda/Showa) forks & rear shocks, Mikuni carbs etc etc...
I'm not sure what parts Harley makes at their factory in Brazil.... | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 11:41:18 AM | In Britain, we have a fair amount of people who own Harley's..........but by far the more popular type of bike is the Dual Sport ( onroad/offroad ) bikes like BMW's....the same as in my profile picture.These bikes outsell other types 3 to 1.
I have a large amount of friends who are all motorcyclists, both men and women....who pretty much revolve their entire life around motorcycles.Literally going to work to earn enough money to fund their passion and hobby.Working and the daily grind is just a required evil to enable them to do what they want.
Twice Last year, a group of us rode from Britain down to North Africa....most of us had never met before, but we got along great. Doctors, Engineers, Bricklayers, retired military, house wives,....huge spread of people who would normally never meet on a social basis.
The girls who were not riding their own bikes ( 12 of them were riding bikes ) said they loved the idea that their partner had a sense of adventure/ spirit/ not boring / tied to work etc etc.
An ex-girlfriend also told me that she used to love the thrill of just taking off for some place on a map when we had some spare time, and actually seeing, smelling and feeling the trip....rather than being cocooned inside a heated, air conditioned car.
Feel free to say hello if you are an Aussie by the way.....I am biking around Australia for six months, from November. | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 6:36:46 PM | Since I'm a woman, I'll respond. I've been around harley's all of my adult life. Your choice of bike/biker is just that - your choice. I prefer them because they exude power, excitement, adventure, fun, fellowship, etc....
Also, they just sound and feel so darn good! Again, it's a preference. The sound of a harley coming down the road is priceless. You always have to turn and see who it is and what the bike looks like. Since I've been around harleys for so long, I've realized that these riders are "real people" who would give you the shirt off of their backs. This group of people are always doing something nice for the community. A poker run to support something or somebody that needs help. Good people. I'm sure other bike riders other than harley riders do the same thing. Again, back to choice. Whether some want to admit it our not, being on a harley is an American status symbol. I grow 2' when I get on one. It's just a great feeling. Good looking man, smell of leather, rumbling sound between your legs, it just doesn't get any better than that! So, I can only speak for myself. I love harleys and harley riders. I just bought a new one last week! You'd think I'd just given birth  | |

If there's a hot man to hold on to... What could be better?

Posted: 10/10/2008 7:09:01 AM | After reading this post you my heart kind of melted as I held my head high. She knows what she is talking about. My dad was a hard core patch holder and I have been on the things all my life. It isn't about the bad boy image you put out there, or how loud you be. It is more about seeing different things, enjoying a side of life that few experience, and just being a 'good guy'.
So for all you that have this fear of bikes/bikers let it rest!!! It's all good and it is manily 'good people'. | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 4:18:03 PM | I own a custom Harley. I rode Triumphs and Bsa'a most of my life in Britain where I grew up. Always wanted a Harley "D" as we so lovingly call them. Not just the prestige, but that throaty rumble, and yess that sense of freedom, the comraldry of other riders, women and men. I rode from Pa to Sedona and thru New Mexico and Texas last year, rode by myself, attended native gatherings, canyon blessings, visited reservations and sacrred places I probably would not have gotten into in a car or truck. Out West I was treated with respect, even the truckers "watched out for me". Something they don't do back East here. Now I'm discovering America one state at a time!
Something just changes the minute I climb on my machine, it took us a while to bond and it's a totally different style of riding than what I grew up with. I test drove 17 different bikes in Daytona before settling with the Fatboy, then proceded to customise him after months of research. All my troubles and worries disappear, it's my therapy. . . I'm no idiot, am highly educated and respected for my work.
But nothing beats that purrr and yess, guys the rumble between my legs.
But also I feel safe and at home on a larger bike. It is a feeling of Power I guess ;) I have two sons, one competed in motorcross with Euro bikes(KTM's) , the other raced for Team Kawasaki, they both look at me with envy and jokingly say someday they'll be able to afford a Harley like mine. More like fight over mine when I'm gone.
For now I'm just enjoying the ride ! | |

I don't think you need to say you have a Harley on here to attract women. if I like a guy and he doesn't ride a Harley or any type of bike, it's not a deal-breaker. on the other hand, he could ride a bike and be a jerk and I wouldn't want to be around him.

Posted: 10/30/2008 7:00:19 AM | I've had motorcycles for over 20yrs, ridden for 35, and would never own a Harley, I like to ride, not walk. My wife hates Harleys and thier "image". She is fine perched on the back of a sport bike or sport tourer, my dual sport was a bit uncomfortable for her and my cafe racer was too loud.
If you took her to a bike shop and gave her the choice of all bikes and all makes, she would pick a Hayabusa or ST1300 before any cruiser much less a Harley.
A friend who rode a BMW K1200rs used to like to pull up to Harleys and say "at least my Briggs and Straton will cut grass".
I did learn not to pull wheelies with her on the back, took a week to get her fingernails out of my ribs. | |

Don't forget Harleys "sport bike"...motor made by Porche
The most American made, American sourced motorcycle is the Honda Goldwing. Great bike, but too much of the old man image.
Life begins at 150mph. If you've never lifted the front tire at 100mph or ran your knee on the pavement through the corners, your not riding. Anyone can ride a Harley, it takes balls to ride a sport bike. And the women I know like balls. | |

Posted: 10/30/2008 7:28:35 AM | For me riding is a passion and therapy. Give me Wind!
I feel that if him & I do not have this in common, nothing else matters. It's a lifestyle, not just a phase for most of us.
What could feel better than a HD and a man between my legs? Well me riding my own ;) . | |

I have no idea. I've never even been on a Harley. I don't get the fascination.
try it you might be surprised
Life begins at 150mph. ..funny you said that for a friend of mine ...thats about where his ended
it takes balls to ride a sport bike. And the women I know like balls. ... yea... and balls are not worth a damn on a dead guy
don't get me wrong I'm not against sport bikes ... I own two of them ...and they are as safe as any other hobby if a rider rides with in their skill limits ...but damnedest thing I have learned ..is they are way more fun when you are pushing your limits ...I ride both sport bikes and cruisers ...and have three friends that died doing what they loved ...pushing their limits on sport bikes ... so don't give your crap about sport bikes being as safe as cruisers ...statistics don't support that and my experience don't either ...and i live in both worlds | |

Posted: 11/5/2008 2:17:02 AM | | Not a hog fan (harley's) I ride a metric bike. Kawasaki 900 cruiser. I don't ride it for the vibration. I could find a cheaper alternative than that! LOL. I ride it because it is the most exhilarating thing there is. Incredible freedom. Wind in your hair, the highway in front of you, smelling the pines as you breeze past. What's not to get? | |

Its not the bikes, sport bikes are safer, they stop faster, turn quicker, accelerate faster (which can be very benifical,its kept me from being hit several times). its the rider being able to control themselves. Around here, we have very curvy roads and people that dont watch for bikes, and the vast majority of people killed are on Harleys. Even at speed limits the Harleys don't have the cornering clearance for some of the sharp decending radius corners, low side and slide off the road into guardrails or trees. Most of those killed on sport bikes are because of stupidity. I'm an adeneline junkie, but I know the limits of my bike and take it too there, no further. I've been down a couple of times with gravel on the road or in the rain, as has two of my brother in laws and friends (just part of riding) but we all walked away.....scufffed the bikes but no major injuries....just road rash. On one road, a guy on a Harley decieded he wanted to ride with our group (all sport or sport tourers), we hit one corner at speed, we all glided through like a sycronized ballet, the guy on the Harley who was in the back flew right off the corner as the bike would not respond fast enough to make the corner that I can take in my pickup 20mph faster. SO its the rider not the bike. | |
