First thanks for your service.
The people that have a problem with you riding a Harley becouse of the color of your skin already have a problem with you becouse of the color of your skin and they are racist idiots. Buy what you want and ride the hell out if it you have definitely earned it. Ride safe

 

take a look back at the old mc's of harleys

Btw, I am a Puerto Rican, and sometimes people do stare, but never say a thing.

I am normally one of the youngest people at most of the rides, and normally the only one, or maybe there might be two more hispanics.

No one judges me different, no one makes fun of me, no one says anything about me riding a sportster. we all ride because its what we enjoy.

Its one of the few things where a common interest brings everyone together, regardless of race, gender, or what you ride(sometimes)

 

I have a real close buddy that is Hispanic and he was a little weary of the race issues when we got into riding Harleys. It has never been an issue and we ride wherever we want.

On the down side, I still see **** and racist stuff on patches and stickers at bikefests all of the time. That kind of stuff dies off hard. I hope you get a sick bike and join the family. I would be happy to ride along with ya.

 

Thanks guys. i take delivery if my 2012 883 iron on monday waiting till i complete
the msf course this weekend. My fiance paid for our courses (shes taking it as well woohoo)

some of u guys i decided when i was in iraq i would get a harley and i love the nostalgia of the sportster. As a side note i really like the fat bob but neither my credit nor cash will support it. So im starting with base and gonna customize it my way.

 

If you ever ride to chicago, you have a place to stay.
