Been Lookin' (for old HD advertisement)
I've been searching:
For an old Harley Advertisement from I would say the late 90's.
I used to see it during NASCAR races.
It went like this:
Grandpa was sitting on the pourch with his grandson.
About this time one or more HD's go rumbling by in front of the house.
The grandson asks grandpa if he ever had a Harley Davidson.
Grandpa replys with anguish on his face, almost looking into the past....well one time I almost bought one, but then I spent the money on siding for the house...........
I think I'm close on the script, and forget the closing.
I've searched UTube, but can't find it.
I probably have it on an old VHS tape of a race, but finding it will be luck.
Anyone know if a place on the web where it may be posted.
If I come up with it, I'll post it.

I think that I'm confusing two different commercials. I found the one with the old man and his grandson, and I remember it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...tisement&hl=en
The one that really inspired me to buy a Harley was similar... An old man sitting on a porch by himself, drinking a glass of lemonade(I think). He's reminiscing, out loud, about all the things that he'd done in the past; like wining and dining the girls on the French Riviera. All the while that he's talking, you can hear the distant rumbling of a Harley and it keeps getting closer. In his closing line he says " If there's just one thing I wished I'd have done, is to have bought me that Harley-Davidson". Just then, the Harley roars past with a bone chilling rumble.

7score,
That was the one I was thinking about.
I think I remember the one you mentioned too.
I'm going to play that one at work, two guys I work with plus myself don't want to end up like this grandpa. While we are years away from being able to reenact the commerical, everyday gets us closer. I have learned lots from this forum and hope to soon be making a sweet deal on an '09. The problem is, so many models, so little time. Guess it's time to get started....thanks again for finding it, BcB
