akenaten, I don't think I've ever bashed a Hog here except maybe once or twice in light humor (no more than I've bashed myself a/o my own bike.)
I don't know that I see that many people bashing Harleys as much as perhaps the few who do, do so frequently. Hogs are problematic machines but this is hardly news and most Harley riders know this but ride them cos they love them. Not my first cup o tea but I begrudge no one who rides one. As long as they're not jerks (which is hardly an exclusively Harley club.)
If I had unlimited money (or at least a lot of it,) I might have a Hog in the garage just for kicks.
I'll admit though, I really have issues with the guys who ride through my neighborhood at 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning, hitting the throttle hard so the pipes blast their bone-shaking loudest. I mean, is that really necessary?
