Corvette vs. Harley Owners?
#23
A good friend of mine said that if you pick the average Corvette owner, they are very meticulous people. In contrast, a Harley owner is more care free. I don't know many Harley owners, so I couldn't comment too much on the subject, but I know I am meticulous about my care for the Corvette and other things I own.
I'm sure there are people here who own both. What is your opinion?

I had a 98 HD Softail Classic 16,995 MSRP and approximately $20k in extras. My wife had a 2000 HD Sportster $6500 MSRP and approx $15k in extras.
Both bikes were meticuliously maintained very much like the vette. However riding a HD requires a preliminary "walk around" much like an airplane before you crack open the thotlle and hit the road.

I have both... 93 Dyna Wide Glide and 06 C6. I try to take good care of all my vehicles and things that I own. Why not? They cost me a lot of money and it shows pride of ownership to keep them looking good......
I don't categorize anyone by what they look like or what they drive or how they dress! It's how they "conduct" themselves is what matters to me........

We have them both and I think that anyone who loves these type vehicles takes very good extra care with them all. My 08 C6 Vert and 05HD Screamin Eagle Fatboy and my husband's 08 Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic.

I have both, and for much the same reasons...
Both American classics. Along with my '06 Silver Coupe (7th vette), I have a '02 Road King Classic. Been vett'n and bike'n since I was young. Both are cared for and both are/will be modded to my liking...RWHP, tone, looks, general driving enjoyment, etc.. They are toys. Vette is up on a lift under a cover when not in use and the Harley sits underneath under a cover.
Same ritual for both... cover comes off, clean and shine prior to driving off, upon return another clean and shine, cover...rinse and repeat.
I've said this countless times (if my wife was reading she'd laugh her **** off)...but this may be the last vette and last harley I buy.
Also, when I am on my harley, I tend to get waves from vette dudes, and visa.versa. American classics.
Ride safe.

Don't know where your friend got that notion, ...not the case 100% of the Harley riders I know keep their bike impacable, as do I, both spotless and covered when not in use, both great toys.

vettes and harleys are gifts from heaven. How best to express a buy american attitude. Yes I have and love both. 2008 c6 and a 2006 streetglide. I definitely keep the vette cleaner, but the harley is always presentable.
