The people want it (I do, at least). That would be a good bike to compare with the VMAX.

Exactly. And you don’t have to have a big bagger to do it. I’d love to meet the woman that enjoys riding the back of a Panigale...

No, you don’t get it. At all. Maybe you should actually ride one and THEN form an opinion.

Ha, fair enough. But which does the girlfriend prefer? That pretty much dictated what I got (and kept), if I wanted any chance of her coming out with me.

Wow, good article. Non biased. And you answered the questions thoughtfully. Nice work, Sean. Glad to see that you liked it and got more of an appreciation for them. Your responses were about what I expected... that the bike is good at a lot of things, but not great. My wife had similar complaints that your girlfriend…

Hi Sean. Just curious, did you expect to get actual serious questions here? This is a Harley you’re reviewing. We all know that Harley brings out ALL the trolls on LS. I had a few good questions.

How did you get out of the grays?

Ok, so, bye?

I just love the way that he has to keep a death grip on the steering wheel whenever he stabbed the throttle. I would love driving that to work everyday. My neighbors, not so much. But man, talk about automotive therapy!

Hi. Black guy here. Normally I’m the one who points out how blacks can get treated differently when doing the same thing as whites. That’s not the case here. As others have mentioned, the guys in Baltimore are black. So are most of the guys riding in the Bronx.

That’s really the important thing. Is it comfortable? Does it have all the tech that she wants like Bluetooth, heated seats and mirrors, and rear view camera? Do I need to do anything other than check oil and gas?

Nice write up. I was just talking to my wife about the article just now, and she says “well what about the Tesla? You don’t like that anymore?” I told her, when it comes with a V8 sound track full of angry pops and burbles, I’ll consider it.

I admit that I used to be guilty of this. It wasn’t until I was on crutches after an Achilles surgery that I realized the error of my ways. To this day, I get livid when I see someone park in a space dedicated for disabled people.

It’s more of a southern thing...

In particular, southern black folk. Up north, usually they just use the word “boogie”.

You know you’re gonna have to go over day. Because that’s the only way she’ll stop asking you to go with her, lol.

Have you taken a safety course yet? That might help in terms of making sure you have the basics down. That said, just make sure you ride within your abilities. If you’re more comfortable on back roads with little traffic, no big deal!

But you did start, and that’s better than not trying at all. I didn’t start riding motorcycles until I was 23. My parents wouldn’t even consider a dirt bike, as “they’re too dangerous.”

My wife would play Christmas music all year long if you let her.

I’ve been listening to the Motown Christmas album all week. Good stuff there.
