But I notice the seat allows for plenty of spread, a phenomenon I have noticed on the up-tick these days on numerous riders of big bikes.

That's a phenomenon not limited to riders of big bikes, but at least they tend to not wear lime green spandex.....

Having mercy toward others is always appropriate. And more than welcome.

Saudi women, free to drive, kickstart Harley-Davidson bike chapter
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/08/08 ... apter.html

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – In a bit more than a month since women in Saudi Arabia won the historic right to drive, a group of them is headed out on the road on not four wheels, but two.

“We have been waiting a lifetime for this,” said Aliya, an enthusiastic 23-year-old student from Jeddah who is set on motorcycling. “Always watching my brothers ride. Now they’re teaching me.”

Think about this for a moment. Muslim women riding HOGS....... :wink: :mrgreen:

Seen in the newspaper, today, regarding Harley Davidson motorcycles:
via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
President Donald Trump said it's 'great' some Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners say they will halt future purchases of the bike in response to plans by the Milwaukee-based company to move some production overseas...

...Harley has said the impact of the 31% tariffs, up from 6% previously, could be $100million a year on the company, or roughly $2,200 per motorcycle.

If they already own 1, maybe they don't even need another? You can only ride 1 at a time anyway.......

And, if the price goes up $2,200 per, then maybe that's a reason to not buy, too.

Sometimes, customers want the next or the newest model, continually going back for a more powerful model. For example , I had three Hondas before settling on a "Night Hawk 550" after several years of driving less powerful models, even trying out a Suzuki "trailbike" once among the several Honda purchases.

Harley Davidson is not telling you the whole story. Their overseas made parts will be charged a tariff entering into the USA. They don't want to say that out loud.

Probably because it's painfully obvious?

If I may inquire, have you ever personally owned and driven a motorcycle?
