I know the question wasn't directed at me, but it would really depend on what kind of Harley it was...

*cough*Road King *cough* Yes yes yes.

Probably not, they vibrate too much for me, I like my quiet low vibrating Honda Shadow Sprit.

No. But I would probably clean it now and then....

It is 41 degrees in Manchester NH right now.. a rather cold and steady drizzle and fog.. No riders on Harleys or Hondas noted, nor Yamahas, Suzukis or Triumphs even. BUT I did see a guy in a short sleeve tee scooting along a Vespa... I guess we all know who the real bikers are.. ain't us.

Makes me think of our neighbor kid, actually a young man now, who rode his little Chinese scooter from Lancaster PA to Newark DE in the rain on hilly and twisty route 896. Of course, it was to visit his girlfriend at U of DE, so it may be chalked up to hormones as much as being a hard core rider.

That was my excuse back in the day for a few some cold and/or wet rides, and a few nights spend cold camping overnight.
