Harley People?

Harley People?

What gives? I was riding my Suzuki down the street the other day having a great time and minding my own business and a car full of tattooed women pulled up beside me. I looked up because one of them was hanging out of the window saying, “get a Harley you asshole!” Needless to say, I was shocked and puzzled by this.

I started thinking--what is up with this brand name allegiance? People are such sheeple! The name Harley stirs up an image, sure, but is it worth all that. I happen to enjoy my Suzuki cruiser. I have passed by many Harleys stalled on the side of the road for one reason or another. I am always willing to lend a hand and the thought never crosses my mind to say, “get a Suzuki you asshole!”

It doesn’t matter what you ride if you ride--it’s more about the wind in your hair and the expression of the free spirit in all of us that matters. I shrugged off the Harley comments and I know that there is a cult of Harley Davidson. I know that there are a lot of decent people who own Harleys. It is just the ignorant few who give them a bad name. I have been to many biker functions and bikers are some of the coolest people I know. That woman who made those comments probably can’t even ride. The funny thing is she was driving a Toyota Corolla!!
