Back seat addition has clear advantages.

So... they're saying the Sportster is a chick's bike?

It even has a "bikini" fairing.

I'm looking at that advert and I'm reading between the lines.

Two chicks ride bike with a rainbow on the tank to a taco (lol) stand and slurp sloppy tacos (lol you can't make this $h!t up) while leering pervertedly at each other. If that ain't overt marketing I don't know what is .

Dead nuts accurate. I'm in marketing and believe me, EVERY detail is agonizingly scutinized and planned by the agency and the client. No detail is overlooked. Knowing the number of people who needed to approve this, there are NO consequences. You are 100% correct, as funny as it is. Covert woke messaging.

I am more of the opinion a few in the marketing group decided too see how much they could get away with without management catching on. They probably figured if they could get two women together on the same bike that the subliminal sneaks might be completely missed. I say this knowing full well some stunts friends did for newspapers an department ads.

So if I'm reading some of these post correctly, some of "youse guys" think, or maybe thought, that a female riding a bike was just another heterosexual biker babe?

I NEVER thought that. And I knew that there were female friendly females that rode.

And I really don't care who HD sells bikes to. As long as the company stays healthy.

I will say that I liked Panheadache's post. Funny.
