    Just rode 5,900 miles through eastern Canada on a Triumph Tiger 800. If you look close in the picture you'll see the front wheel of a Road King with an adventure bike rear tire

    I’m with Jon, where do you get your 90% number? Because I know where there’s a LOT of Harley’s with a LOT of miles on them. I don’t own one but the ones I’ve ridden are comfortable to me and they’re very reliable, the AMC days are long gone.
     
    booley, JonJon78, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this.

    That Tiger must be one rambuntious son of a gun, if you have to tie her up like that in the shop. lol.

    I know a lot of guys that put quite a few miles on harleys, even back when they were dropping parts al along the way. lol
    I read up on them when they first rubber mounted the engine, and went to see about getting one. I ask the salesman if it really took the vibration out, and he said oh man yea, you can almost see out of the mirror now. lol
    I wouldn't mind having an ultra classic, but it is hard to justify the cost no longer than we get to ride.

    This isn’t going to make any friends but when I was riding a had a crotch rocket and a couple Japanese cruisers. The Harley guys were always friendlier than the guys on the BMW’s and whatever the Yamaha’s are with the square saddle boxes were. They looked down on you if you didn’t have the whole riding outfit getup and your bike was louder than a sewing machine. My experience anyway and two of my uncles are diehard BMW riders.

    Well I didn't know that, When I did run the lower 48, that might have broke me. lol I kept having thoughts getting a cabinover so I could haul a bike on the back. The way I ran I sat a lot and it would have been nice to have one. My wife howled every time I mentioned a cab over though. lol

    The harley shop here used to rent harleys, but quit a few years ago, they still rent BMWs to guys that want to ride up the haul road, there is one off the road up thee right now, looks like it burn't. I am not sure if it is theirs or not.
