Below are only some of the bikes I've had the pleasure of riding & while I enjoyed them all it was obvious
especially after experiencing the KZ1000 there was a reason some are (affectionately) called rice "Rockets".
My tendancy to push the envelope made it clear that such bikes would bring about my premature demise,
which is the reason I've been known to occasionally refer to them (with all due respect) as "Zoom-Splats".
Harleys on the other hand allow me to enjoy riding at the speed limit. (o.k. CLOSE to the speed limit).
Doesn't keep me from fantasizing what it would be like to push the limits of a V-Max, or experience
the smooth, quiet comfort of a BMW touring bike, to mention just two of many great bikes out there.
But in the final analysis, Harleys seem to suit my style of riding (and wardrobe) best.
