Hello,

I liked the pictures, too, but  I just don't get the whole Harley thing.  I
think that they are expensive, slow and crude.  For the money a BMW seems
like a much better choice.  Heck, my 1982 Yamaha Seca 750 is smoother and
more refined than a Harley.  As a bike for Leica fanatics, I'd be afraid a
Leica would be shaken to pieces on a HOG <g>.
