Why are Harleys cool?

[Tsp]

They are the US of A's bad boys and girls type circle. America and the Hells Angels and so on. They and those whom ride them, I believe, and with all due fellow American Respect, bring attraction. We are all our own individual, with our own choices. I first chose to ride, enjoy, and be cool at 7 years old, I did, still do and it was no Harley !

Okay my turn! Gotta love this stuff! It's a fact that Harleys are cool. I'm mean most people I know either have a Harley or want one. At the hard rock in Albuquerque the motorcycle parking says Harley davidson parking. Can't take my vmax there gotta take my vrod! Personally I'm not much for a Harley except for vrod...well maybe a fat bob. As far as the loud noise of Harley , to each his own. Some of my buddies have vtx 1800 and they have those things loud! My vrod is stock and as smooth and quite as a church mouse. As a matter of fact my vmax is a lot louder! As far as power of my vrod, it's not that great! It's just a Harley!

But since we are comparing bikes, let's take it a step further and compare manufactures. Who Is the largest manufacture of motorcycles? Does the largest mean the coolest?

Ah, the Fat Bob. (I'm partial to that bike as I can fit on it and it looks awesome for a muscle cruiser/muscle bike).

Who is the largest manufacture of motorcycles? My bet would be Honda. Are they the coolest? Hmmm... Well, they do have 1 of the 2 Cool Wall "Awesome" rated bikes, the CBR250R.

Most of the people you know are in a HOG chapter?

They're cool because....















I guess they're cool because they've been around for 100 years and still use pretty much the same forumla? Or would that count as being stubborn?

Light bulbs have been around for a similar time and they havent changed much either....

No, they people I know ride Harleys because they like them. If someone wants to ride with me I ask them what they ride first then I choose my bike.

I agree with that. I understand that people actually pay more for out dated suspension! Now thats cool!

Honda is the largest manufactures of motorcycles. Actually they are the largest engine manufacture as well. So let's start a thread on how cool Hondas are. Do you think that the Honda thread would recieve as many hits as this thread? Personally, if I was into the way Harley's looked or sounded I wouldn't buy a copy cat... I would just buy the real thing! So if Hondas are so cool then why do half of them try to look like and sound like a Harley? I think that Honda has a chopper out too! You must admit that Harleys have an outdated engine, suspension and who knows what else but THEY SELL! People like the way the look and sound and that's why other manufactures copy that! I think that Harley's are cool...I have one! But the bottom line is whether you have a crotch rocket, a true muscle bike (VMAX, V65), Fat BOB (I'm with Mike, I like a bike a can fit on too) or a dual sport, if you think it's cool that's all that counts!
