Yeah, it would probably say "For REAL motorcycles only", since one of
the conceits among my fellow H-D owners who are "Harley Snobs" is that
other brands aren't "real" motorcycles.
I nearly puke every time I hear "When are you gonna get rid of 'that
thing' and get a real motorcycle" spoken to someone on a Shadow,
Vulcan, etc.
Of course my co-workers who ride FLH models refer to my Fatboy as
"that thing" as well. God only knows what they think of Sporty
pilots...

For most of my Harley owning friends, that would be a real
pain to take the Harley off the trailer to put it in the
bubble after every trip.

OK then why not just bubble the entire trailer!

Around here they seem to be referred to as "girls". (Not by me; my
"girl" would smack me upside the head for that :-)

Also useful for the rider who wants to commit suicide by CO poisoning,
but be able to go off to the next life on his/her favorite ride.

You're saying they trailer their own bikes
to rallies instead of having the bikes picked
up and delivered ? How quaint !!!

There are professional delivery services for
that kind of stuff you know. Why take a chance
on trailering it yourself ?

You're way too sensitive to ride any bike.
That's just teasing on the order of ribbing a guy because he likes the
Packers instead of the Vikings.

Does inside my detached garage count as indoors?
I wonder how they stand up to -25 weather (and worse).

Some people wear pen protectors, argyle socks, and carry their keys on
retractable chains. If, for some reason, some of those people own
Harley's, I guess they might like one of these, too.
