What?
Is a Z safer than a Harley? Yes

You will miss the wind on your face but you won't be needing a leather jacket driving the Z.

The mod bug is pretty much the same. Hope you have fun and enjoy the Z as much as the Harley!

I got rid of my Harley for much of the same reasoning. I do miss her though.

I have a Triumph Speed Triple and while I've thought about getting rid of it now that I have the Z. The difference is the Speed Triple actually handles unlike your Harley (My last HD was a Road Glide...I know how they handle).

Most of you guys are lucky where you live. I had a Ducati Monster, BMW R1150R and BMW R1200c. Got rid of them all as I had too many near misses in LA with all the crappy drivers.

SO yes - I kind of think of my Z as my toy.
