That means if you want to sell bikes - you sell Harleys - quasi

How about building your own? Get a chopper frame - mate it to a 4

If you've ever seen one of those BMW's up close and in person you
would never buy one. Somebody at BMW took an ugly stick and beat the
heck out of an already ugly design. I sat on one and even the
position was strange, also the back seat looked about as comfortable
as a 2 by 6 to sit on.

How about a Triumph Thunderbird or the new Triumph Storm? That
parallel twin lets everyone know right off that it's not a Harley or a
Harley knockoff. I currently ride an '07 Triumph Speedmaster, but my

There's always the FJR 1300, or if you're loaded, the new BMW K1600. You
know if your looking for a cruise missle on two wheels.
