Default Ripped Off???

I think the MOCO ripped off our tag line... "The Read between the Rides" sort of...

At the bottom of their home page it has a link that states
"What to read between the rides" Sign up for HD email.

Just thought it was funny...

In this day and age, I feel that anything is possible. I feel that the people at MOCO are always looking for ways to benefit their company and maybe this is one of them. It is interesting though.

The moco is obviously reading HDForums.com. How else can you explain all the 6 speeds on the '07s. We wanted 'em. We got 'em.

Doesnt matter who came up with it first, its who copyrighted it first that counts. Happens all the time. I remember {A loooong time ago} there was this band in Phoenix named 'Twisted Sister' They had these weird female manniquins on stage with them that had been streched out and elongated into weird shapes. Then this band fronted by Dee Snyder came out and copyrighted the name and even though the original had the name for years they were threatened by record company laywers and had to stop using it. Has anyone thought to copyright the logo?
