Man, my experience is way different. I live in Wisconsin. Everybody who rides is on a Harley. I had told the Harley dealership up the road from me that I wanted a sidecar rig to take my 8 year old along with me. He got a very lightly used rig in on trade a few weeks ago and I decided to go and take a look. I drove my C5 military to the dealership. It generated as much interest, talk and questions while sitting on the lot as I could stand to answer. No derogatory comments, and generally positive ones (even from the guys wanting to know if I was trading it off... I didn't!). I ended up buying the rig. It's an FXDS DynaGlide convertible with a big bore kit and a very cool Champion sidecar that my kid thinks is the stuff. I rode my C5 to work today, may be the last nice weather we get, calling for snow this weekend. I'll continue to ride the C5 whenever I get the chance, but it is fun for me. If my son wants to take a ride... Hopefully I can keep the Enfield long enough to teach him to ride on it in a few years. There are pricks everywhere, don't paint the Harley bunch with too broad a brush.
