If I could do you tube I would not be here or I would be on some porn site.

Wait, this isn't a porn site?  Great, now I feel self conscious about wanking it to these posts.

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.

      This was the time when early Sunday morning kitchens were full of motorcycle parts boiling chains in grease all over the country before Church at 11am.

I remember boiling my chain in my Mother's kitchen many years ago and dropping the can.  My Grandfather, who was in the next room, said that a big blue cloud came in through the door, but I don't think it was from the chain grease. ;D  Took hours to clean that c**p up!

Thanks for the memory.
