- harley gear?
i bought a sportster about 5months ago,and i have had to go to a couple of places dressed up. does it look stupid to ride w/ a back pack or not?(saddle bag gets the clothes dirty)

A personally, i dont give a dam what people think of me when i ride. i ride for me. not to impress the public. i ride a 77 shovel and i do what i need to get the job done. i've had my bike loaded like a traveling circus with tents, fishing poles, cookware,,, all the goodies. didnt bother me any. real riders just appreciate the love of the wind and the brotherhood of fellow bikers. posers just gotta look good, at any cost.sacrifice comfort, reliability, and common sence just to fit in. do whats good for you.

- Goldwing vs Harley...?
Preface... I own an 06 Suzuki Hayabusa and an 04 Harley Dyna Low Rider. The Hayabusa is stock (except slip on pipes and a radar detector). The Dyna has a stage 2 kit (1550cc) and tons of chrome. Just got back from Sturgis and was thinking of dumpi9ng the Dyna for a Goldwing. Why? The Dyna UTTERLY sux on the highway above 75mph, has no bag space, no tunes and is COMPLETELY underpowered. Also, I have about 25k in the Harley and 11k in the busa (with all my gear). So, to my questions... Which would you get? I am very disillusioned with Harley. Contrary to what many people think they DO NOT hold value and are antiquated. I was considering a Ultra Classic and the bike would be roughly $34k (with a 110 SE upgrade) and accessories I would want. I can get a Goldwing for about $20K-22K with everything I would want. Plus, the Goldwing has more options/accessories that Harley simply doesnt offer (ie Reverse, GPS/Nav system, More horsepower, seat and hand warmers, etc...) So, for touring with the wife, what bike do you think makes more sense? All, Just wanted to thank everyone who posted for not tryin to flame this question. I was going for good feedback and thats what I got :) I went to Sturgis early to beat the crowds. We went to every major site and had a really good time while not having to deal with crowds :) As far as the Harley, I looked into the Ultra Classic and it does NOT have nearly the amount of amenities that the Goldwing does. Again, more power, better seats, independant driver/passenger heat controls, leg warmers, MUCH better sound system w/4 speakers instead of 2, reverse, more storage space, build in NAV and GPS, etc... I compared the top of the line Harley and it did not have any of the things I mentioned..?

A Heavy touring is not my style, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Gold Wing hands down. The newer Gold Wings have a level of performance that no Harley can approach. I have never heard anybody's wife complain about switching to a Gold Wing from anything else, so if that is a primary consideration the Wing is the way to go. I am a BMW guy, but can't stand their heavy tourers. These days, you pay a premium for a BMW but don't get much for it except a chance at some expensive bills for repairs and maintenance.
