Come on! Be honest now!

Wouldn't it be interesting to conduct this same poll on a Harley board and then compare the results?

Best Regards,

It got a bit nasty at home the other night. Did a 120 mile round trip out to a local "picturesque seaside resort". Stumbled across half a dozen like minded middle to late middle aged riders and their "molls" with similar interests at a cafe there..They "Ohhed and Ahhed" over the K0, it was a bit of a wank session but it felt good....(please, no comments from Terry)..trouble is, my kids think I'm now some sort of latent homosexual out mixing with sweaty crotched guys smelling of leather and wearing chaps. It's not true I tell you!

T'C'10,
I have exactly the same battle at home, my wife and daughter think I have gone a bit strange in my leather biker trousers and all the gear! perhaps it's the leather chaps and nothing else that I wear that has done it!!??

I wonder if women's brains are wired differently to ours?

I like to use the modern gadgets for convenience, but I hate technology, I am regressing and only want to ride old bikes, drive old cars, wear old clothes and watch nostalgia programmes on TV!!

Maybe its because of the "Police Academy" movies. I'm a geek, but I have seen worse. Starting to think I'm more of a "Renaissance Man" now, must be getting older.

Geeks dont ride bikes! Well unless it is a moped! As for leather, it has kinda becom associated with gayness!

jim,you wonder if women are wired different than we are?....bro you need some educatin.

i'd say... wired and plumbed differently

and, most likely, not even designed by the same design team!

similar to mac/pc... somewhat compatible due to many new versions over the years but, overall... not really

scjim, just another in a series of threats to the oil industry - we'll just ignore it til the guy turns into a doddering, drooling old man squawking about his brilliant invention and wasting 3 dollars a year on gasoline to run his scooter...
