I'll start it off, when the vrod's were first released back in 2001, it was love at first sight, when I had enough coin I bought one.
It wasn't the attitude they invoke with riding a Harley, since I don't care who I ride with or what they ride, perhaps resale value helped lean me towards a HD a smidgen.
 

What's your reason?

Couldn't afford a goalwing

I couldn't find a Triumph Thunderbird at the time so got an FXDF instead, no regrets though.

apart from a Goldwing, which I had a couple of many moons ago, most other bikes felt small underneath me. all the jap and even bmw. ended up with an ultra classic as first Harley. now a roadking. they just fit better.

I like shiny things.

 Bob made me do it 

Bike magazines had BOOBS in it.

They stopped selling Norton Commando Roadster Combats so there was no choice but a Harley

I was probably a late starter and got.my licence around 91.
Ive always gone for the nakeds but always liked the cruisers.

Around the same time I was with the MRA in Townsville and we rode with a few Harley's
and I enjoyed the presence they had on the road.

I gave up bikes for years but the itch came back this year and started looking for a Harley.
Ended up with a sporty custom only because I still move around a bit and she'll fit in my trailer easier.

Im now looking at the street glide for when I settle on a place to settle down.

because I can

Got the attention span of a sparrow ! Couldn,t find a bike that I enjoyed long term .Tried a BMW boxer , but the Germans engineered the soul out of it . Had the Superglide nearly 2 years and still want to ride it ! Thinking about a Street Glide though ......

My Buell is too short for a pillion so needed something to take the wife out on. She liked HD's and having already owned a lot of Jap bikes & a Trumpy nothing else done much for me so who was I to argue. 

Went to Melbourne with the intention of buying a V Rod Muscle but went with the Fat Bob as seemed a little more practical  for two up.

That's why I bought the Vrod Muscle, Aussie XB12SS, lets me escape......

I still think about selling my Buell & getting a Muscle...............but every time I take the Buell out I know I like it too much.

wife bought me a heritage in 06 still have it

All so told if I buy a harley I get a extinction on my dick

Cause the tank on my granny glide is just the right height to sit my big gut on.

There is no other bike on this planet sounds like a Harley and riding one just gives me that great feeling that no other bike can match, Harleys have real soul I have tried many other brands but always come back to HD.

Blah
