Why do you own a "Harley Davidson" motorcycle? Lets tell the world!

Kansasjase & Marcus22 pretty much summed up the way that I feel. If I could add one more thing, it is a great stress reliever for me. Five minutes on the bike after work and I forget about the workday altogether!

When I was a young boy my father had a friend from work that rode a hog.
I dont know what model it was but I thought it was a chopper and new it was a Harley and that he was the coolest, toughest guy I had ever seen, a major part of that image was his motorcycle. I knew right then I would ride and that nothing but a Harley Davidson would do. Even painted it on my bicycle. I have been riding for 30 yrs now and all I have owned is Harley Davidson motorcycles.

I don't own "a" Harley Davidson. I own 2 Harley Davidsons but would be happier with 3 or more of the lovely machines that they indeed are.
dude, I thought the same thing. ive got three and eyeballing the fourth. its an addiction. I really love the classics. figure they are better off in my garage than anywhere else. but of all the addictions you can have this is the best.

I have been a Harley fan since I young. My uncle showed up at our house with one. We were a Honda family. The sound and look of that Electra Glide was awesome! I wanted one for as long as I can remember. I took me until I was 44 to get mine. I have had it for 15 months and I love it I just rode 250 miles around Mt. Rainier yesterday with three people I had never met before. Never had that with the other bikes. Harley life is good!

Well, I have ridded Honda's and Yamaha's most of my life. Went to the Metric dealer where I have bought 10 other bikes and wanted to ride the new 1800 VTX. Told him if I liked it, I was taking it home. After several back and forth comments about paperwork before test ride, I left, quite unhappy to say the least. Went to the HD dealer and asked if they had any bikes a guy could take for a test ride. Dude was all laid back on a new Heritage Classic with feet resting on the handlebars. Said calmly, Man which one you want to ride? I said that Heritage you are sitting on, after all it is the one I wanted and the right color too. He copied my license and rolled outside. Looked in the tank and asked where I was going. I said for a test ride! He said, well you have a half a tank, and we close at 7!
I left on the test ride and expected a harsh, vibration filled ride, kinda like getting on a tractor after riding in your F150. Well, it wasn't there at all! This thing was smoother than my Shadow Sabre! I couldn't believe this bike! I fell in Love with HD within about 10 miles. Back to the dealer and rode my new Heritage home. Never looked back!
I plan on keeping this bike forever. I will add to the garage, but never exchange, this Heritage is MINE!

To me harley has the looks, the comfort, the sound and the cool factor is way up there. And I need lots of cool factor. I road several different makes and models. For me the heritage put on the biggest smile.
