exactly the reason it should be worn, not an excuse to leave it at home.

Safety gear is a MUST not a plus.

Too many assho!es utter the words "I didn't even see them!"

That's why I won't ride! I am scared to death of not coming back alive!

I will ride at any chance still but hubby and I both think about safety alot more--no more riding to Colorado for the weekend-I need to be here for my kids.

I guess straight lines are OK on them and they DO look good on trailers and in the back of a pickup truck.

Never had mine on a trailer or a pickup. Ride it all over. Plenty of get up and go, 10,000+ miles and still going strong!

That's one.

Most people never get the garage ornament out.

That is one reason I wear a shirt similar to this one as often as I can while riding mine. The bright orange really stands out! The one I have is long sleeve.

I work with three others that ride theirs quite often, some even more than I do. They are all still going strong as well.


I think you might be thinking of the Harley Davidson's from 1967-1981 when they were owned by AMF. During that time the motorcycles weren't very good at all. Today's H-D's are all fine quality American craftsmanship.
