The sad old losers who ride Harleys (on weekends, in their special Harley

extremely large and powerful.

Of course, the average Harley if asked to pull a stump would stall and go

So they're good for people who aren't great with clutches and gears? Almost

By the same you really mean double. 18k ride away for a busa. At least 30 for
a Harley.
