I have some friends that own Harleys, and I can think of three that are "Harley guys." I'm not some anti-Harley fanboy, but I do like to poke fun at them. To be honest, it's not that I would NEVER own a Harley, the same as I am not absolutely adverse to owning a car with a chevy LS series motor in it. But I would even mock myself if I did own either. There's just something silly about pushrods and crankcase cams being employed in a motor that is less than 50 years old. And that's just the engines... let's not forget the chasis...

Anyways, I am generally a 'form follows function' type of person. So what most people like about Harleys, their aesthetic appeal, does not do it for me at all.
