"The desire for to own a Harley-Davidson has never diminished and has actually amplified as people consider owning a Harley much more than just having a motorcycle but being a part of a lifestyle. Enthusiasts have a far greater depth than just riding. Camaraderie, being part of a group who have the same interest, creating lifetime memories and friends are just a part. What other product has such a strong allure and influence on an age span of 25 years to 75+ years of age?" “The days when Harleys were a fashion statement are likely over”. Have you ever seen a Honda or Yamaha tattoo? How about the owners of the rice-burners that wear a full faced helmet so they cannot be identifed? I love those that take the tank emblems off so people will "think" their imported big twin is a Harley. now, i dont totally agree with both these statments, one thing i think we should all agree on is, if you own a bike ride it. enjoy it. wave to the other bikes. think im better riding my harley? nope! think im better for riding my 73 honda cb350? nope! do i wave? always. do i help those that need help? always. heck, its a gorgeous day outside, no snow or ice on the road... think im gonna go make my self smile! keep those mirrors clear ladies and gentlemen!
