HD has become J.C.Penny (Page 3/3)

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.

Looking down on the Verde Valley from just above Jerome, AZ.



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.
