As a gen X in rural America, I just never could get that a Harley wasn't for a particular style of person. Not limited to Hells Angels by any means but I never imagined a Harley would be an upper class status symbol. Kind of like pickup trucks I guess. A pickup truck is a tool not a status symbol

I've toyed with the idea of owning one and even bought a jap cruiser for awhile but I just never felt I was a Harley guy. Probably because of just the perception I had from growing up.

Now with the young generation now, they just don't want to do .....anything

They'll play a video game where you pretend you're a gang member and steal a motorcycle, riding it around on virtual streets. For $59, that's their Harley Davidson experience.

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
