Yeah, Harley-Davidson would be in real trouble.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Harley-Davidson???
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

If it were the 70's and 80's I'd agree with you.

Ever compared a Hogley Doggly to a Jap bike?
Or even a Triumph Rocket111 ?

Harley's are no where near as bad as the ones in the 70's era. They have a different transmission system, but can compare themselves in terms of build quality just as well as any Japanese bike.

People want to believe in "miracle cures" and ...woops...they die anyway.
Have to agree....let people buy what they wish...bound to only benefit the genepool.
Just what IS this manniacle preoccupation with keeping people (who I might add.. are either in great pain and suffering) alive??

I'd rather people were helped whenever they can be and since stupidity isn't a choice I do indeed care if they die even if they are incredibly stupid.

You can't protect people against their own stupidity.
Only against other peoples stupidity.

That depends on which Ricer and which Harley. A Harley sportster starts at 7000 usd.
Truth be told I'd prefer a BMW bike over any Harley or Jap bike,
