A Little 10-year-old girl was walking home, alone, from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up beside her.
After following along for a while, turns to her and asks,
"Hey there little girl, do you want to go for a ride?"
"NO!" says the little girl as she keeps on walking.
The motorcyclist again pulls up beside her and asks,
"Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back."
"NO!" says the little girl again as she hurries down the street.
The motorcyclist pulls up beside the little girl again and says,
"Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 Bucks "and" a Big Bag of Candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."
Finally, the little girl stops and turns towards him and Screams Out...
"Look Dad" "You're the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley... YOU RIDE IT!!".......

Having owned numerous motorcycles since 1970 I would take a Honda over a Harley any day.
There are a bunch of Harleys around here. There is no noise ordinance in this area so the Harley guys like to remove the mufflers from their bikes. You can hear them coming from a mile away and still hear them for two miles after they pass.
I was crossing the Benicia bridge on my way home from work many years ago. I was on my Kawasaki KZ650. Stopped at the toll booth when Harley pulled up in the next booth. We decided to have an impromptu race coming off the toll booths. I pulled ahead of him but only pursued the race up to 65 mph. If I had continued the race he probably would have blown my doors off - if I had doors.

Good one. Always wanted a Harley but not in budget. When riding a Honda I used to point out how many other brands are often broke down on the side of the road.

I miss my Honda 750 Aero with its water cooled engine, shaft drive and anti-lock brakes! If I wanted a Harley I would have bought one.

A truck hit me on my Honda 750. That ended my riding days.

Late 50s model Oldsmobile hit me in 1961, while riding a Cushman Eagle. Bumper directly impacted my left knee… and I slid up on the hood with the huge hood ornament tearing thru my shirt and jacket… stopped sliding with that hood ornament hung in my belt/waistband.

Problems with that knee ever since. Sold the scooter soon after… cheap

I figured you had him out of the hole and may have been behind when the wpeed got up around 80 or more. The lighter Kawsaki would be quick there. Also, the Japanese bikes reved up much faster than the Harleys.

I've owned and ridden a few different makes and models of motorcycles. I've had a couple unknown makes even, ever heard of a Tohatsu motorcycle? Currently I own and ride a touring Harley-Davidson, complete with the windshield, fairing, saddle bags, tour pack, plus AM/FM/CB radio, cruise control, and ABS brakes. It is something I wanted and I do enjoy. I will not claim it is the best make or model for everyone, but it is the one I wanted for some time. I respect and support any rider who cares to ride on two (or three) wheels and will not belittle or disparage someone on a different bike, even smaller ones. I've been there and done that. The freedom felt when riding on a motorcycle (technically it should be called an "enginecycle" unless it is powered by modern electric motor unit) is what sets it apart from the four wheeled conveyances called automobiles (car or truck).

The complaints about loud exhausts can be applied to four wheelers who do similar customiztion to their cars. I must partially agree that louder exhaust systems on bikes does make them more noticeable to cars which travel with the windowa closed and drivers who are not observant and watching for two wheelers. I've experienced several close calls because a driver was not paying attention and turned in front of me, began moving into my lane when I am beside them, and pulling out from a side street as I approached. Thankfully I have avoided any serious incidents that could have resulted, but not everyone is as lucky.
