How many others drive Mini's and ride harleys?

Have driven a MINI since November 2008 and a Harley Sportster since 2006.

 

Well my wife drives the Mini,I ride the Harley.

I have a 2011 FLHTK Limited.

 

A very good friend rides and wenches on Harleys, but I ride a Dnepr MT-16, Hence my web name. He says I've always been a few degrees off center!

I've had a Harley in my stable of motorcycles since 1972 when I bought my first one. I also own a dirt bike, a supermoto bike, and a BMW R1150RT. Below is my old 1989 FXST.

 

We both ride Harleys, Mine is an 08 Ultra Classic and she rides an 06 Heritage Classic. The Mini is for when its to hot, to cold or to wet but actually I find myself in the Mini more than on the bike here lately.

 

I ride a white dynamic super glide custom. Pretty sweet and matches the JCW.

 

I don't ride a Harley any more but still ride a bike with a 113" motor and drive it like I stole it. I have to get a permission slip from the wife to drive the MINI which is in my name so I don't get to beat on it too much.

 

Currently a 2006 Dyna Glide for me.. I did Sportsters for 20 years prior to that.

 

I forgot to include my rides. 05 MCS BRG and Road King Police. Color is Rootbeer! I don't know which is MORE fun.

I have a 2003 Sportster XLH883.

I was discussing this MINI - Harley issue just the other day with a friend. The two communities have much in common. Both groups tend to highly customize. It is hard to find two that are the same.

I know there are fairly large Corvette, Camaro and Mustang clubs. But the only other group that might match the MINI and Harley community in size and customized diversity is the Jeep Wrangler. Or am I wrong?

 

I've never cared for Harley's, but it's the best 1940's tech you can buy...Sort of reminds me of riding a LazyBoy...lol

Ive ridden almost all my life (45 years of riding now), and currently ride an Aprilia. Still it's a V twin, 1000 cc's...

 

I like motorcycles and have owned more than a few over the years. The last time I was around Harley riders with my Mini, they threatened to kidnap it and turn it into a sidecar.

 

+1 on richardsperry post.

 

I've been riding motorcycles for fifty years and Harleys for forty and I still enjoy a nice easy ride out the the beach on my Harley - it's a ride that brings me back in time. If I want a little more excitement I ride my BMW - which is a lot more modern, but is almost like being in a car. I do enjoy riding them both - to each his own!

 

i drive a mini and am saving for a harley if that counts, hek it is part of the reason i got the mini i'm saving about $250 a month over my previous vehicle a jeep wrangler

 

My cabrio is nice but nothing like the Harley. This is the 7 Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys.

 

You beat me to it! Hahaha!

I just sold my Suzuki supermoto to fund fancy bits for the Mini.(and some books for school)
After I'm done with school it will be replaced with either a KTM, Husky, or Aprilia.

I think Minis are more like supermotos than Harleys. Everyone laughs at them til they get passed by one in the twisties!

 

Yeah...

If you're talking about Road Kings and E-Glides, then, sure, I'll agree (with the LazyBoy thing). As for tech...I like carburetors. So sue me. My bike was the last year of any Harley model to have a carb. And Sportsters are more like riding a wooden chair than a LazyBoy!

 

I have a 2006 Softtail Standard, 2010 Sportster 48 and 2011 Street Glide CVO...I love them all but have the most fun on the Sportster. It's really the wifes but since she got pregnant and now had the baby, it's all mine. LOL!!!!

 

Currently have a 2008 Street Glide

I thought that I would never enjoy riding driving anything as much and then came my 2007 Mini Cooper S

I think the Bike beats out the Mini for being fun to drive but not by much

 

Technically the Sporty in the garage is the wifes. And technically the Mini is hers too. But I drive the MCS every day, and ride all the bikes.
