During the crash in 06-08 didn't Boomers and Xers stop buying Harleys with home equity money and HD was headed to dissolution?

What about Buell 
I have never bought something for just style. If it didn't do what it was suppose to do I don't need it. My leather jacket came out of someone's car trunk no labels in it. But its a fully functional riding jacket, padded back and elbows along with thick real leather.
I do not and have never owned any HD marked up product. I have purchased a couple of Tees for a friend, he has a collection of them and is trying to get them from each state. So I picked up Ohio and Indiana for him. I may or may not have also picked up a tube top for his wife, she may or may not have ever worn it LOL but I bet she got a kick out of it.

It used to be about knowing where the oil goes after it leaves the pump and how to set your timing with a cigarette paper. Now it's about knowing what's trendy this season and how to tie your bandanna. |

When you still ride to work at 20F or if it is already raining hard, it is a lifestyle or at least an attitude. I bought my last one when i was feeling dead inside, it helped.

Riding can be a way of life, but what I am referring to is those who buy the machine as an instant ticket into some perceived lifestyle.

The Buell name is giving it another shot, but regrettably without Erik.

I never wanted one because of a few things, including but not limited to price, and how much they shake.

My shovel literally shakes itself to pieces, but the newer bikes are not nearly as bad.
