This was just another lame Moto thread. People are still waiting in line to buy Harleys and it doesn't look like the trend will end unless the enconomy takes a downward turn.

I guess the same applies to getting a womans name tattooed on your arm. She is going to cost you a lot of money and cause you a lot of drama, so what does a little more pain matter?

I think of myself as a harley man, I love Harleys, and grew up with the mindset "Harleys are real bikes" (thanks to my dad), but i must say. I think the '07 colors are sad, and ugly.

What kind of mentally challenged gets a brand name tattooed on their body?

Besides those folks that sell space on their hides on Ebay. :laughing:

Bingo.

Extreme brand loyalty is almost a mental illness.

And does your sentiment also apply to members of the Armed Forces?

Is your country's flag being turned into just another corporate logo by mega-corps? If so, yes.

Oh, and I'm a vet, are you? (Nice attempt at an ad hominem attack, BTW.)

There was nothing irrelevant about it. If you view "extreme brand loyalty" as a mental illness, then it stands to reason by your definition that anyone who shows extreme loyalty to country, branch of military service, family, etc, by way of a tattoo also has that same illness.

Harley-haters are a dime a dozen, so you're really nothing special in that regard, but anyone who infers that I have a mental illness because of my Harley tattoo - and my military branch tattoo and my family crest tattoo - is clearly not playing with a full deck themselves.

And yes, I am a vet.
