Dances With Sheep
There is a huge amount of touring Harley riders that just like to ride. Probably little difference from the BMW touring riders. I ride with a bunch that will ride 500 miles round trip in a day, just for lunch.
I do get a kick out of it. I see many of the same similarities in BMW riders as I see in Harley riders. Brand faithful, talk about mods, exhaust, seats and lighting. Some ride across town, some ride across the USA.
There is the tough as nails, 1%'er types that mostly ride Harleys. I have seen a few on BMWs too.
I went on a Harley ride out to Red Lodge MT. One guy I knew finally showed up. I jokingly asked him what took so long. He left Fargo Saturday AM, rode out to California, up Highway 1 and back to Red Lodge, the long way, plus some side adventures. He had put on 5,000 miles in seven days to get to Red Lodge.
Exactly. And, I've met other Harley riders just like this guy. Harley's have been solid mechanically - as much or more so than any other bike - for several decades. Their only limitation is the rider - just like BMWs.
