easy as pie.
I go to a Starbucks and say "medium coffee, cream, and sugar". They seem to be able to decipher it.

The whole ad campaign is the " I am not a pirate" pirate campaign. I am going to call it the anti-pirate look.......

After I spend all morning trying to decide what to wear (do-rag, boots, vest, maybe tennis shoes, shorts, full faced helmet, shave?, go scraggly?.......decisions), then ride around so people can see me look cool. You mean I then gotta talk **** about about how I don't care what people think? Damn.....owning an HD is hard work. Which obviously means I'm not a ***** like those metric riders..............

^^^ there is your new ad campaign^^^

Just 2 comments.
1) I like the boots that finosama (Fat Boy) is wearing. I had a pair like it and they were excellent and comfortable. They also convinced the local nurse that I didn't need a cast on my foot the day before I started on a 4000 mile trip. I just kept them cinched real tight and soaked my foot in a cold stream every chance I got.
2) LoanWolf's daughter doesn't look eleven years old, yet HD sees no problem with taking a child under 11 years old on a ride. Just reminds me of the thread where a bunch of posters were vehemently decrying the OP who got a ticket for taking his 11 year old son on a ride.

that's what I was tripping on. For all of his trying to clown on people he sure enough is putting up a lot of badges trying to identify with other groups of people ain't he?

I was thinking about this thread some more and realized the only stereotype aspect that bothers me...

NO I DID NOT SEE THAT REALLY COOL BIKE PAUL jr/sr BUILT! I have a motorcycle, that does not mean I spend all my free time watching OCC and Jesse James shows and all that crap, nor do I watch the bullshit TLC shows about hokey-assed tattoo artists just because I have ink.
