For me there was no other choice back in the early 60's.Now,nothing else comes close to satisfying me like a Harley.

What do do? what to do... hmmmm.

You could tear those tags off your mattresses....that's sort of a victimless crime.

For the same reason I can't explain a color to a blind man.

Only an H-D is a motorcycle in my eyes. Been so for fifty years or so. So - Eat me. Asking stupid questions.

Harley has a lot of colors to choose from and they're all red, white and blue...

Because I fell in lust with it, when the salesman started it I fell in love with it.
It's my screen saver at work and I make a way to see it every day and fire it up at least once a week.

I grew up on a 90 FXR Superglide!! My dad said as soon as I was able to hold it up with him being comfortable with it and take the MSF course he'll share it with me. Took the course and had my license at 16 and started on his FXR.

Harley was for me and I wanted one, no real explanation why other then I knew I wanted one, just never thought of the idea of looking at metric cruisers. Nothing against them, it just never crossed my mind. UMM!! yea that's it! Don't know if it makes since, but I'm sticking to it.
