Research Harley and see if they haven't started to adopt their business model. As for the crotch rocket remark, no it isn't exactly a crotch rocket it's a sport tourer basically built as a crossover between a sport bike and a Goldwing.
It depends on your generation. Mine referred to Triumphs as Trumpets, and both Rancheros and El Caminos as Cowboy Cadillacs. Just slang, nothing derogatory intended.

Sorry there was no head biting off. I was just posting my feelings on what is important to me. I'm sorry if I hurt any feelings. I was born and raised in OKC and am now back here with my family. My father used to tell me of a time when he was a boy in Miami OK and how the racism was back then and how it disgusted him, I guess it gets under my skin quick too. My apologies
