My Dad and his friends ride Harleys and Indians. They're a part of the Patriot Guard. In nice weather, they cruise around the state, but they do it because they enjoy the camaraderie and the ride itself. They even have a couple of t-shirts or jackets that have the Harley logo- when people find out you have a Harley, you get Harley-related merchandise for gifts. It gives my Dad great pleasure to ride a Harley- and he has his own reasons. Personally, I am terribly devoted to my Grand Cherokee for sentimental reasons that have no basis in logic.

I feel your pain and annoyance. I've made purchases that made perfect sense at the time, but when the shine wore off the apple I was forced to admit that I had erred in judgment.

I've seen a lot of motorcycles in Denver- I bet you'll have no problem trading it in for one better suited to your needs!
