Guy with a Harley. I like to ride, I wear the shirts because imo they are good quality for the cost. The decal I have for my truck was given to me and my fiance has one for her car. The HD floor mat and blanket (which is REAL nice) were both given to me.
My Harley doensn't define who I am or how I act it just is what I'm into.

I am a guy with a few shirts....I like the fact I have a Harley in the garage. Several years ago HArley went too far with all their commercialized stores. It is like shopping at Macy's which lost the harley feeling. I am not buying parts for the bike that say harly or harley stickers for everything. I even took off the Harley liscense plate frame from the bike. Don't need grips or pegs that say Harley. I think people know its a harley. Lose all the crap and just go and have fun. like to keep it clean simple and sweet lookin....just like my life. A guy with a HArley!

I have been riding harleys for a long time, but I don't collect any harley stuff.
M&M stuff I go apes**t over though. I have all kinds of M&M stuff. I started collecting the dispensers and figurines years ago. Most family and friends buy me M&M collectibles for gifts.
So I guess I am an M&M lifestyler with a harley.

Just curious how you all see yourselves...as a "Harley person" or a "person with a Harley". What I mean by that is do you embrace the "lifestyle" or just enjoy riding a motorcycle and appreciate the pride of ownership that comes along with a Harley-Davidson?
Me, I am a guy with a Harley. I do wear a Harley shirt from time to time, and have a sticker on the truck, but it pretty much ends there. I have no Harley stuff in my house, am not into eagles or wolves, and do not go out of my way to get involved in the "lifestyle". I do, however, get a huge grin every time I look at the Road King in the garage and really dig throwing a leg over it and hearing that great Harley sound.
So, which camp are you in?

I've owned nothing but Harleys for 40+ years... I have a few harley shirts and a pair of boots...
I do have one thing though... I got it this last Christmas from one of my nephews... its a Harley Fund Jar...(like you put change in)...
I told him I appreciated it , but it should of been the size of a 55 gallon drum...

I own one Harley shirt that I got in Japan (the Harley emblem is in Japanese).
Other than that, I don't really go in for the "Harley lifestyle" unless it's Halloween.
Just a guy with a couple of old Harleys.

I guess the fact that I don't care what anybody else is or does makes me a "Harley Guy" as opposed to a Guy that rides a Harley. Although I am a guy (at least I was the last time I was able to check B 4 I put on all this weight) that rides a Harley...Chit, now I'm confused.
Leave me alone...I'm Old.

Harley guy here. I started riding Harleys before they were "fashionable" and when riding Harleys was not a push-button thing. I have been wearing Harley t-shirts and a leather jacket as primary casual wear for 30 years. I could see having something else in the garage as an additional toy, but cannot imagine having anything else for a primary ride.
