When I think of Harleys, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Fine Machine". If you want to relive your lost youth, buy an erector set, not some snorting, petulant machine that, in a heartbeat, could leave you paralyzed forever or turn you into an instant Quasimodo.

Now to squash the myth that motorcycles are romantic and an easy way to get young girls. There are very few hard-bodies that will feel like anything after an hour or so on the back of a Harley. Not to mention that most decent women are scared to death of them.

Somewhere along the line, some great marketing maven spewed out the myth that the average owner of a Harley was a white professional. The reality is that in a year of visiting shows and rallies, I found most of them to be a bunch of very boring schmucks.

It may be that they're not as stupid as I think they are, but motorcycles are bad for your hearing. The continual noise contributes to high-tone hearing loss. So maybe they're not stupid, it's just that they don't hear what I 'm saying. I guess if you're wearing earrings or have a tattoo, a Harley is the place to be.

Rather than spend thousands of dollars for a snorting, vibrating, dangerous bucket of bolts, call up Crystal Harmony, and take a 6-month tour around the world. It will be good for your health, and outside of getting popped by a jealous husband, all in all, a much better way to blow a few grand.
