Yep, I’m too cool...........when I was young I wore black tees, Levis, and engineer boots as I straddled my 750 SS. Now 40+ years later I am sure that I look just as cool as I try to take my fat, beer bellied, titanium kneed, lightweight tactical boot wearing fat **** off of my Ultra, all the while maintaining that coolness as I try not to limp too badly, all the while trying to reposition my jeans that now contain 10% spandex from sliding down my aforementioned fat ****. Yep, I am now the epitome of cool on my HD.......

I sincerely hope that Harley Davidson doesn't go all in to attract millennial like **** & now Levis just did. Both I used to purchase exclusively and will not buy anymore.
Edit: Why is the sport shoe company starts with an N and ends with an E (n i k e)being *'d out?

I love my Harley but I don't quite get the "lifestyle" thing quite frankly, I have zero in common with most of the folks I see at the dealership or Harley biker bars (I typically feel like Eddie Murphy with Nick Nolte in the bar scene in the movie 48 Hours when I walk into a Harley bar). I bought the bike solely because I liked how it looked, felt, and rode (and prodding from dad).
With that said, though I suspect I have very little in common with fellow Harley riders, I've never had an issue and everyone has been great. Riding, like sports, tends to bring people together, regardless of our "lifestyles". I do enjoy that aspect as when I'm riding or interacting with other Harley riders, I'm dealing with people I typically don't deal with on a regular basis (which is refreshing). I deal with corporate stiffs on a daily basis and hanging with other Harley riders, whether at a bar or on the road is a nice escape from my Death of a Salesman existence lol.
