I agree, except the part about getting laid. I know some guys at work that bought Harley's and could get laid if they were the last guy on earth. As for me, I like the way cruisers look and owned a couple in the past(yes Harley's) but was never really comfortable riding them. I am much happier on a sport type bike as I likes the twisties. I mainly ride the Bmw's lately because maintenance is so easy and the shaft drive is a necessity if you ride 25-30,000 miles a year commuting like I do. On the weekend I can pop off the trunk and bags and its a fun sporty ride. NOTE: I like all bikes, I am just noting my particular need or preference. If I had enough money I would have one from each manufacture and several styles. :-D
