Harleys are for fat old men that are scared of going over 50 miles an hour.
Jap/German/Italian bikes are for real/virulent men (well know fact :)

You’re thinking of the knucklehead days.

I’d take a new FatBoy over a Ducati any day of the week but I’m one of those old guys. Not fat though.

My one brother has a Harley street glide another a Honda Goldwing. When they double ride, there's at least another me (~175lbs) on their bikes weight wise. I'm the slender pothead hippie in the family - #3 of six, with a sister being the youngest.

Started riding before 16. Had a moped that I strapped a case of beer onto the back - no shame. Then upgraded to a Honda 360, then a 1972 Honda 750 four cylinder. This '03 Vulcan Nomad is a real joy to ride.

I've been looking at these for a couple years. I'll likely never pull the trigger although I am tempted.

Several times when I went to Tractor Supply on the truck I almost came home with one of those fat tired minibikes for kids. They are like 7-800 bucks and supposed to be used by folks under 175 pounds. I'm less than 220, so what the fuck. I don't think I'll ever get another street bike, but I do miss my trail and dirt bikes.

Sounds like your a good Dad & you have fortunate kids.
This is all I ever got from my cheap ass Da :( (I think he picked it up from the side of the road)

No kids. It would be for my lazy ass. I hate the trails four wheelers make through the woods, but it would be nice to zip down to the creek from the riverhouse. I could post pictures of the tracks in my trail maintenance thread without irony.

I had a new 1972 Honda 125 trail bike (bought in 1973 at a good discount), and assorted old cars and trucks when I was a kid. Nothing flashy or high dollar, but I didn't suffer from a lack of toys.

My ‘87 Hog did spend some time every year “in spa” but in turn delivered a soulful interaction that made me love the brand.

My ‘03 tourer (I vacillated so bad! Was I ready for a Gran’da bike?) was a real find. Best saddle in the industry. And with a Baker six-speed upgrade with a long, long final ratio, it puttered along at 2000 rpm (I did 800-mile days never breaking 55) and got me 60 mpg on rare occasions. Oh and reliability. No soul, but no worries 2000 miles from home on the Canadian Shield.

I’ll leave the whiz-bang shite to the young immortals in one-piece leathers. The phlegmatic equanimous infrasonic single-pin V-twin made me smile much much more often than my old Katana which regularly complained “ y u do only 80?”

Now the Hawg at a vibrationless 55
( rubber mount engineering wizardry)
Was all like “hey look! Tomato trucks!”

Oh and this isn’t fat. It is “ built for leisure and luxury”.

Well I just found out my Buddy Al passed away this afternoon on Friday the 13th, after a struggle with cancer. I'm grieving, RIP Alistair Russell, he was a good man and a good friend. I was down to see him this morning, but he was unconscious and sedated, I left his daughter a hundred bucks or so to defray expenses and for flowers etc.

Tonight I feel like shit.
