I have noticed around these parts that the incidence of accidents to
Harleys is quite high as compared to other makes.  This could be
because of the 1920's riding position resulting in less
controllability, or perhaps the macho attitude of those riders, or even
the "substances" that the Harley-riding bikey gangs make and imbibe.

 DD> I have been riding motorcycles since I was 14 years old. I even came

I once owned a 1923 Harley engine, which I put in the back of my first
car, driving through an Indian gearbox.  It wasn't all that different
from the modern engines, and made the same sort of flat, farty exhaust
noise.  Earlier, when I was only 19, I rode from Alice Springs to
Darwin and back - 2000 miles round trip - on a 125 cc 2-stroke, but I
was younger and even sillier then.
