Riding a Harley and a Kawasaki is like living a double life. I just took my Kawasaki to the car wash and the guy in the next bay was washing his Honda. It was funny because when I walked by I could see him reading my Harley shirt! I am not sure but I think I detected a look of disgust on his face. It is funny to look at the differences in riders. For example I have met guys that ride KLRs that have never washed their bikes. I have met guys that ride Harleys that have never ridden them in the rain!
I recently told a guy at work that I had ordered saddlebags for my KLR, he quickly informed me they were "panniers". When I add something to my Harley it is usually to improve the way it looks or to customize it, so it is "my bike" most riders refer to it as "bling". I learned that you don't put "bling" on an adventure bike, you install "farckle" functioning sparkle. Farckle is not to make the bike look better, it is always to make the bike function better (or so I was told).
