Not really sure why a lot of Harley guys don't ride much.
I think at the height of their popularity there were a lot of Harley owners. Not riders.
And they didn't get their bike to have a bike, they got it to have a Harley.
And like practically every other fad and trend that goes nationwide, started in Hollywood, then picked up by other entertainment and sports industry celebrities and 'in-crowd' wannabes. Even the Japanese felt it necessary to start marketing their own models of less expensive Harley V-twin 'Cruiser' style sound and lookalikes.
