I run Into this all the time. I am very much a rider having put 27,000 on my sporty then trading her for my now deluxe who has gotten 1500 miles in jan and feb.
On one hand I sound like a typical biker. My now hubby rides a road king is tattooed deisal master mechanic. So skilled blue collared working class guy.
I have long hair and a couple tattoos and two peircings.

But I am also a vegan, bleeding heart liberal hippy who professionally runs non profits and works on very liberal issues. I also ride in full gear. I tend to have to do a lot of explaining around bikers and around my save the world community. On top of that I am a chick who rides her own Harley a lot which is rare enough. But personally --I am what I am-- I am glad that Harley realizes that riders don't come from one walk of life.

Wow, real original?! It's just a rehash of the 1960's, very successful I may add, Honda marketing campaign:

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda"

cant wait for MENSA to come up with a three piece patch and euclidean geometry rally's.
These adds are proof that light travels faster than sound. At first you think they are brilliant until you hear how stupid they are.

But that is what the Harley campaign is saying also...just about ourselves.

Wow, you show up, vomit up a bunch of genuinely stupid comments, make a bid deal about your cap gun at the bottom of your posts and generally act like a jerk.

You know **** about the people here, who might in fact be behind that gray beard you put down, or whether we in fact give a **** about you, your rant, your pop gun or anything else.

Why not be just a bit more repsectful of some of the folks here and lose the attitude?

1%ers and other clubs that live that life are NOT going away, no matter what you or HD wants. You sound like a ****ing BMW rider, all snotty and condesending. Again, GFYS
