almost bought a Harley

I had a '91 Sportster 883 for 4 years. I ruined 3 pairs of jeans before I figgered out where the battery acid was coming from. For some reason there's a equalization line from the crankcase to the air filter housing. It would routinely suck up engine oil and soak the filter, with oil running out the side and down my pants leg on long rides. A pair of foam ear plugs stuffed in the hole fixed that. It would stretch out chains like taffy candy. The riding position was uncomfortable, the suspension inadequate, and the brakes marginal. Unbelievable that I put over 30,000 miles on it.

But I did have several girls flash their boobies at me. So there's that.

I'm assuming they're slightly better today. The bikes, not the girls.
