SO...if somebody shows up with a restored Norton Commando or Triumph Bonneville they aren't riding a bike that's good enough to be in that club? Or if they have a BMW GS650, it's still not big enough? And God forbid that someone with a classic Honda CB750 Four wants to join this "elite" group!

But a Sportster 883 is fine with them...Hmmm.

Find a real club if you truly want to be in one. Those are posers, not bikers, and not motorcyclists.

I put a 600 decal on my 2003 Z-1000 when I got it, was the first year they had the new style and no one knew what it was... the first few weeks every one asked if it was a 600 as it was small and compact, so I put a 600 decal on it and fooled ALOT of people when the 125 hp kicked in..  

When I get my Savage up and going I will leave it nameless and make them wonder if its a 1950's something  

Most Hardly people have this mind set that they have so much power and stuff its not even funny, hell I'm getting a Savage thats got 30 hp so I'm not a power junkie but lets get real, if you got a bike thats 800+ lbs, 50-60 hp and turns like a barge and cost $15,000 - $50,000 dont cut down my Jap Crap that has 120 hp, 400 lbs, stops on a dime and turns like the wind and only cost $8000 and needs hardly any maintenance....

Hey the Hardlies have Jap carbs/Fi, forks, electronics and and,,, so no its NOT American Made.... its American assembled !

Hardly rant off.
