If it' a Harley-Davidson, it's bigger and better. My bike says that I love beautiful and
old objects; I customized this bike with antique 1960 parts, because back then humans did
the designing, not computers. I'd love to take anyone who could make me forget that I'm on
a Harley for a ride.

Shape is the most important when it comes to a bike, then style, then size. My bike is a
part of my body - I couldn't function without it - and part of my fashionable
attitude. I would love to take my grandmother for a ride on my bike one day!

Is bigger better? Ask my wife - she loves my Harley-Davidson. My bike says that I'll be a
father soon, so let's forget the crazy stuff! I would love to take Monica Lewinsky for a
ride on Route 69... or is that Route 66?

When it comes to travelling in style and comfort, some Tokyoites would say that the
motorcycle is the only way to go. They've ditched their bicycles and monthly train passes
in favor of a nice Harley or a custom-made bike. Well, is bigger better? What does your
bike say about you? And who would you love to take for a ride?

My bike's only 90cc… she's my little star, so she may not be bigger, but she's the
best for me. My bike says I like to be safe - I feel like I am protected whenever I ride
her. I would love to take someone special for a ride, but until I find that person, I'll
just ride solo.

It's not the meat… it's the motion! Seriously, though, the horses do make the
difference. How I treat my bike shows that I truly love it. I would love to take Bill
Gates for a ride-for about five million!
