Well then, what stops us from going for it? There are several millions of us around the world, which makes up for a good size congregation!

We just have to get really, really organized and resolve some principal questions like:

- What we’ll consider our places of worship- the dealers, or the pubs? (I vote for the second one)
- Have to come up with our own “Harley 10 Commandments”. Here I have several suggestions:
o Keep the shiny side up!
o Don’t let your gas tank rust!
o Don’t let your engine get cold!
o Don’t let your beer get worm!
o Always have two tender buffers behind your shoulders!
And so on in that spirit. Let everybody come up with suggestions, then we’ll vote (democratically!)

I thought this was going to be a religion? Religous Elder's are tyrants, not democratic.

Darn, I forgot about that!
If we get a tyrant then he would be milking from us much more that the IRS does!
Can’t we figure some other way? Can’t we have a dead tyrant – you know what they say, “a dead tyrant is a good tyrant”?

I have found that comraderie comes from not just Harley riders. Most riders in general. We are a big family. We all know how we feel about other family members eh

I heard that Mr. Harley and Mr. Davidson are already dead. They were Martyred for the Harley-Davidson brand! Can I get an Amen?

but Jesus still lives

+1 on this statement. I don't want to think of HD as a religion.

Point of the story.....and she now rides a Fatboy......she is blown away by the love and friendship we feel at every stop we make. It doesn't matter if it's a restaurant, truckstop, HD Dealer, gas station......Us HD riders don't look at faces, clothes, rides, money, etc. We accept all, and respect all.

As my wife says, if Harley Davison was a religion, we would all be Christians. We accept all, deny nobody.

Feel what I'm saying?
I'd like to get that book! What is the title?
