Re: [ST] Harly and rest of the world

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a funny and true story. I have a friend who is a dyed in the 
wool Harley guy. This friend of mine Ed owns a big Harley side car 
rig and a Road King or something. Anyway last year he sells the Road 
King and buys a BMW K1200LT .. the big Luxo BMW tourer. Well he has 
the LT for a month or so and all he does is complain.. It's too fast, 
too smooth.. it's not a Harley! So he puts the LT up for sale and 
orders a brand new Top of the line Harley whatever their super tourer 
is.. Anyway after about 3-4 months he finally sells the LT to another 
friend of mine for really cheap cause the new Harley is in. A few 
days later I see him on the new Harley raving about this and 
that..blah blah blah. Well last weekend at our normal Sunday 
Breakfast spot I see Ed and he's on a NEW BMW K1200LT!!  Boy did he 
take a ribbing! Seems that after owning a fast, smooth, great 
handling bike he had trouble going back to a slow, ill handling, 
vibrating, no lean angle, bad brakes, oil leaking POS !
