Cruisers are sadly 'Americana'. In fact there is a parallel between Cruisers and motorcycling and how misunderstood cycling is in America for example compared to Europe. Europe gets motorcycling better than America as well...and I am all American. It’s somewhat endemic of the roads we have here...long and straight. Cruisers are the lead sleds of motorcycling and from a world perspective, are a drop in the bucket. Motorcycles started as standards with sit up and beg riding position which is still the most comfortable...which encompasses the sport touring category which you embrace. Back breaking feet forward cruiser riding position is all about fashion as you say….no rear suspension height for fashion to look long and low and feet have to go out in front where they can’t support the back. Cruisers sucks for handling and unless they have 120 rear horsepower are slow. A std mid peg bike makes the most sense and handles the best. Crotch rockets on the street are almost the polar opposite and painful in their own right. I ain't dissing on Harleys either. All the Hells Angel Harleys are mid controlled. The story of Harley Davidson is epic and Harley and Davidson were amazing pioneers. Sad to see the marquee morph however. Harley could be more than it is.
Seeing that you know NOTHING about the 81, anything else you post about MC clubs and riders is foolish at best!
If you don't know what the 81 is; Goggle search MC clubs/gangs 81!
