I felt that way from 1979 (when I started riding) until 2007, when I bought a new Road King because it was so darn gorgeous. Turns out that I (1) love the comfort and feeling of those bikes, and (2) found that there are actually quite a few intelligent guys who ride them, and ride them well! In fact, the fellow who used to own the BMW motorcycle dealership in the area (and one of two people I know that I would trust to work on my own motorcycles, if, God forbid, I was unable) rides a Road King as his main bike now.

Harleys aren't for everyone, but it would be a shame to dismiss one you liked just because of the stereotype of the folks who ride them. They are expensive to buy, but easy and cheap to maintain (assuming you do your own work).

My experience is that it simply won't work unless you can at least link to a URL that ends in ".jpg" Even then, sites like Photobucket have managed to block even that access.

ride4now is right, if you can lay hands on Tapatalk, it makes the process easy although you probably need the photo on the device you're posting from and you have to accept Tapatalk hosting the photo for you.
