Don’t care what Harley’s or guns cost. Both are worth it. Just sayin.
So, since cost is not an issue, I want you to stuff my stocking with a Harley Tour Glide and a vintage Colt 1911A1… oh, and it has to be hung in a bikini and a good German beer…
Amen, but I don’t own a Harley. Came close once after a year wait but knew if it was meant for me to be dead it wouldn’t happen, it didn’t.
Providence my dear man. Everything happens for a reason.
Yes it does, that’s why I’m where I’m at today. It was a 100th anniversary sportster. Glad I’m still alive.
I had a Harley once. 1990 Sportster 883. I put over 50,000 miles on that little beast. Loved it.
But today I can name you several dozen bikes off the top of my head that are – more comfortable, faster, better handling, faster, more reliable, faster, cheaper, faster, more reliable, and finally faster. Did I mention it was sloooooooowwwww. That damned 883 couldn’t get out of its own way. A single jug Honda dirtbike with half the displacement could run circles around it. Anything would be more comfortable and better handling. And the number of problems, breakdowns, maintenance headaches? All gone once I bought a Honda.
The only thing was the look. Harley nails the look. After that, it’s all crap. IDK. Maybe the new ones are better. Not really wanting to waste my money finding out.
I have always liked Harleys. Never tried to get one though. I have Hondas. At least the small fiddly parts won’t shake off on a Honda. All the 45’s I have go bang so not sure I need a colt. But there might be something there so always on the lookout for one in my price range.
I have an old Colt .45 auto 1911. The wife has been to the range with me enough times to remember it.
Bought a new (not-Colt) model 1911. Swapped grip panels with the old Colt. Went to gun range to test it out. Wife was there, said nothing.
Bought yet another (not-Colt) model 1911. Swapped grip panels yet again. Went yet again to gun range to test it out. Wife was there. Said nothing.
Yet another trip to the range, after some tinkering on one of the new 1911’s. Still with the old grip panels. Wife finally asked why I keep taking that same old gun each time. Told me maybe it was time to buy a new one.

Sometimes I amaze even myself.
