Brother and I went for a bike ride to West Virginia on Saturday. Rented a brand new Harley for
him,$125 for 24 hours, which I thought was very reasonable. Had a great time on some WV roads that
seem to have been designed by a motorcyclist. Put 380 miles on the bikes with no problems. He was a
motorcycle cop for a bunch of years, so I figured he'd be on my butt in the twisties. But, a Harley
just won't do it. This was a 2017 Harley, all decked out. Beautiful bike, if you like 'em. But it
couldn't keep up with a 28 year-old Guzzi.

Maybe we should have borrowed your Ducati, eh Harry?


What Harley? Dresser? I bet he could have kept up with you on a
Sportster. My 72 could run with the Ring Dings.
