I'm just some guy on a motorcycle.... it just happens to be a Harley Davidson Road Glide.

The only life style I'm concerned about is MY life style... not some "biker mag fostered image"

or just enjoy riding a motorcycle and appreciate the pride of ownership that comes along with a Harley-Davidson?
that sounds a little "lifestylish" to me.... as noted before... I'd rather ride 500 miles alongside a metric, than park at a bar with 500 HD's...

as always everyone's miles will vary

Guy with a Harley. The only Harley shirt I have is the one the dealer gave me when I bought it.
However, my family will probably give me a bunch of HD sh*t on Xmas and birthday.

I ride a Harley cause I wouldn't look half as cool steppin off my BMW wearing assless chaps.

Its all about the chaps.

PS: Anyone know an artist willing to tattoo chaps on me?

Hilarious. A good friend of mine said-I don't know what it is about a Harley that make guys want to dress like that dude from the Village People. I would have kicked him in the nuts but my assless chaps were too tight.

So after thinking about it I did a quick inventory and I have way to much HD stuff...t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, jackets...none of it was bought by me. Thats the funny thing. Everyone must think because you have a HD you want all the clothing so they get stuff for you when they go on vacation, your b-day, Christmas, etc...hey it's free so I wear it...

The only thing I own that says harley is the bike,wont waste my money on the other crap.I wont be part of that lifestyle...it's a sad joke what the biker lifestyle has turned into.people more concerned about fashion statements,their harley t-shirts,It use to be about brotherhood.

I am mostly a Harley guy. I mostly wear HD shirts. Have Harley stuff in the house, have the tattoos, the decals on my vehicles. I am not totally in the lifestyle as I do drive my cars too.
