I’m fortunate that I was able to buy a Bobber since I already have a Harley. Today, I rode both (not at the same time). I appreciate each one for what they are, for the craftsmanship and engineering behind them, for their connection to history. Both speak to me and provide me with a unique and satisfying experience. My HD is a brute while the Bobber is nimble and I really enjoy them for what they offer. Guys like this, and I’ve known many, have all the answers and want to tell anyone who will listen. They see the world too narrowly for me and thus cut themselves off from other riding experiences. Personally, I could give a *#&$( less what he thinks, just like I don’t care what anyone else rides. If you saw me, I look like a thug biker.... especially when decked out in my typical HD riding attire. That said, I wave at everyone on the rode, stop if someone is broke down, and try to learn from guys who ride different brands. Honestly, when I was young I rode because of the cool factor. Today, I ride because it sets my spirit free and because I get to meet all sorts of fellow bikers. Ride a Honda, I don’t care. Ride a BMW, I don’t care. Ride whatever you are on and embrace what the bike has to offer to you. Personally, I absolutely love my Bobber and feel like I’m riding an aggressive and beautiful motorcycle when I’m on it. Pay no attention to those who “hate” this bike or that....... just ride and enjoy the breeze.
