That's okay sis. If you haven't had one, you would never understand. Have a nice day.

I understand that the "macho" guys I see riding Harleys are dentists who ride on the weekend, are going bald, have a small-to-large potbelly, and think that the more stuff they wear with a Harley logo on it, the cooler they are, so I'm sure they paid $89.95 for Harley underwear, too. Very macho.

The most macho car then is probably a stock sports car of some sort, red with maybe some cheesy stick on flames.
Agree with this^^
They're all over the top, foolish-looking, and flashy-ugly.

Nothing says "I'm a man and I don't have to prove it" like a sturdy, square-bodied, older-model Audi or Volvo. For today's market, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is nice.

No trucks, vans or wagons.

Volvo - they're good but they're square!

A mountain/offroad bicycle with a physically fit rider would come closest if one were forced to choose.

Most of these "macho" vehicles usually have some rather un-"macho" guy driving them. You can't purchase "macho".

There's a lot more to the world of motorcycles than fat, bald guys on Harleys

At least have the decency to get a Triumph or a custom bike or something that isn't 95% branding. I can't stand Harleys precisely because around here, that's the only type of person I see on one.
