A friend of a friend's Harley (warning rant!!!))

A lot of guys that buy the big bikes cannot do the daily commute on them due to weather or the circumstances of their job. My old boss has a street glide but would not commute on it because he hated freeway riding.
In my many commutes through, around and across Houston, I have seen many Harley, BMW and Gold Wing riders that commute daily in all but the most treacherous weather.
Most sportsters have the small peanut tank, but they still have as much range as my 125cc scoot.
