To Harley Or Not To Harley, That Is The Question?

Don't get mad at me. I don't break down if you look at me funny, like a Jeep does. My dad's had two, a '97 and a 2015. Friend has a 2022. They've all been pieces of shit. And they're insanely overpriced for what they are.

I’ve been satisfied with the 4 different Jeeps that we’ve owned
We do live in a remote area where their capabilities are useful.

I do love mine. Right now i have a liberty. It's nice. Ive never had a wrangler type of jeep. I feel like its time i get what i really want. Times running out.

Not mad at all.
Sorry to hear about your Dad’s troubles.

I honestly thing "regular" Jeeps, i.e. Cherokees and the like, are more reliable. I've known just as many of those to have no issues. It's specifically Wranglers. Which sucks, because I'd love one.

This was my Wrangler
Reliable for over a decade

This bike makes my pants tight in the front.

My buddy is a certified Ducati tech who just started his own shop.

One of my best friends as well as him participate in track days all summer. Ducatis are their rides.

Im down to one these days. But it’s BMW.
Hate to say I didnt ride a lot this year. After the last go down, I’m still hurting. Don’t heal like I used too. Plus I go to work so early, 8 miles away, it’s all turns and farmland. Deer everywhere.

Here’s my baby I had for years. 1992 FLSTF LE, and my only one left, my warhorse, 1998 R1100GS.

The BC Rich Eagle just effing rules!

Love BMW too, for sure.

F900R would be more than enough for me.

Oh baby, $11600 fully loaded with ABS, heated grips, and cruise control! Yes, I am an old man. LOL

Totally dig my heated grips!
And windshield.

The windshield was never a big deal for me, but then again that was 25 years ago. I might feel differently now.

I really got into windshields when I was commuting from home to Rochester for work. 55 miles one way. Lots of Thruway miles.
That break from wind is really nice, it’s honestly a bit more relaxed ride, you’re not bracing yourself from the wind so much. Nice not having the rain pelt you as well, I rode EVERY day. Funny, back then mid November, 3pm flurries.
