Never owned a Harley, but my sister and hubby both ride them (many years now).....I've ridden on several, and one that I did ride on (a friend's), the vibes were so fierce....jeez....(could have given any lady an organism)....HAHA!...Rather be on a smooth running bike!....Have gone to BikeWeek many times also (in Daytona)...those bikers really know how to party!....My ex boss owned a Gold Wing with all the bells and whistles....took me for a ride also! WOW!...loved it.
Many years ago, a few blocks down the street was the Outlaws Clubhouse (here in Jax)....always Harleys parked out front, the noise was a nuisance!...They finally moved the clubhouse out into the country, the neighbors were elated over that....
