Harley Davidson Gear

Question Why would anyone think that riding a Harley Davidson is 'cool'?
It never ceases to amaze me how middle aged men rush out and buy a Harley to look young and cool again...when most people who are genuinely young and know whats cool, wouldnt been seen dead on an old mans machine like a Harley!They all dress the same and must practice for hours in front of the mirror to get that special 'Harley Stare'! Harley davidson make more money from merchandise than they do from their bikes, thats because these lemmings have to buy the harley wallet, jacket,boots, helmet, mug...and lets not forget those pathetic tassely panniers! They all think their 'riders at the gates of dawn'...when in reality most of them are actually 'members of the local guild of commerce'! Full time dentists-weekend rebels....its just so cringeingly embarassing to watch at times...can they not see what a joke they look!They really believe that those of us who dont have Harleys are just jealous because we obviously cant afford one...they really do believe this!!

Best Answer Notice how the people offended have no avatar. The One guy talking about the feeling of 3000 rpm between your legs; 3000 rpm is lugging yo motor, on a real bike you should'nt drive it below 4500 rpm!...Maybe thats why Harleys clunk out at 20k miles and need rebuilding! Yea, go ahead and give me your thumbs down like every other time I voice my opinion about a Harley.....Only the lawyers and docs can afford them..Overpriced ancient technology. Im not knocking those who like to ride, just those who do it for the status or buy the Harley NAME because they thinks it cool to have one.

Question Is it true that Harley Davidson makes more money off of licensed tradmarked products than selling motorcycles?
Things like shirts, bandannas, stickers, HD wallets with chains, belt buckles, ect.

Best Answer yes but the funny thing is all their shirts, bandannas, stickers, belt buckles and all that stuff is MADE IN CHINA then at the same time they have the GULL to criticize you for buying and owning a Japanese Motorcycle!
