You are allowed to wear the H.D. colors, after all you made the mistake of buying 20th century technology

H.D. riders are defined by the brand.
Victory riders define the brand.

Maybe you are bigger than I thought.
He must be bigger than you thought, or it is the angle of the photo. That bike is substantially larger than a Nomad or H.D.

I noticed that it no longer says, "Cheep Bastard" underneath the picture. That's about the only thing that has kept me from purchase of a 2012 Cross Roads.

The cross roads is a lot less expensive than the XCT. Probably 6-7K.

I've seen new crossroads for under 13K.

No kidding. My Nomad and truck fit very well in my 1 1/3 car garage. My Vision and truck, not so much. Good think the truck stays outside in spring/summer/fall.
