 From Turby's turf.
I think the writer speaks from his ass.

Yeah, I saw that. I figured it was a good humor piece.

"... Regardless of why they get on a motorcycle, many baby boomers are
vulnerable to serious injuries because they aren't accustomed to
handling today's lineup of heftier, more powerful machinery.
They got that Harley-Davidson dream bike they've always wanted.  ..."

So, Harleys are that much heftier and more powerful than decades ago?
hmmm.

Or, given that you are a boomer, too, like any of the bikes you own.
What, if any, can possibly be your point?

Heh.  Did you read that first review?

   "More power/speed with an expectable (sic) level of noise (since this
    is a touring bike)."

Besides being only marginally literate (expectable!), this guy thinks noise
begets power.  He's certainly sufficiently weak minded for that product.


Yes, I suppose you do.
