Some people actually enjoy doing both... there's actually a category for it.. "adventure" riding. I have some friends who do it (but they ride Buells.. the Ulysses is their choice bike).

It's not like there aren't Harley dealers EVERYWHERE... even abroad.

No shit. I have a tourbook from my hog membership that lists every dealer in every state. Its crazy!

I love that site.

Pictures of laptops going over Saharan sand dunes, laptops being chased down the road by little village children, laptops sleeping under the stars in exotic South American jungles...

I was going to put an ADV sticker on my laptop, but I was afraid it would ask me to wire it money for parts.

Aren’t those belt driven? That might concern me out in the middle of nowhere. Does not matter anyway, that bike is way too tall for me.

belts are endless, chains are not. pretty sure you have to pull the swingarm to replace a belt.
