That was a good list, but the debate about coolest harley riders could go on forever. Cool people ride Harleys - ordinary people ride motorcycles.

You could add other military members, like Gary Wetzel, who was a Medal of Honor recipient from Vietnam and was featured in the HOG magazine a few months ago. Or Ray Holtz, the first American to enter Germany (riding a Harley) at the end of WW I.

Elvis is the King, but other celebrities like Duane Allman or Bob Dylan come to mind.

Even some famous old school bikers like Wino Willie Forkner.

But I can't disagree with the list you guys made.

+1 on Doug Wothke.

My Choice:

All the years riding I never missed a single "Riding with Rip" story...

Ha, yeah.... that could be an awfully long list. Funny how I hate to drop $40 on a pair of jeans, but I throw $380 for a set of floorboards. Hmmm

I had a Evel Knievel lunch box as a kid, which made me the **** with all my classmates.

*thread hijack*
Bet you wish you still had that Knievel box. Vintage lunch boxes can command $400- $4,000 in excellent condition with thermos. I still have two James Bond lunch boxes, one that I used for 3 years and one never used in as new condition.
