When it come to marketing , no one wants to concidered average Joe.If they don't make the product special and you special for buying it, Why the fuck would you want it.

With people running around doing nasty shit to each other under the broad and all encompassing brush of being a 'BIKIE' I reckon Harley is just trying to reinforce to the buying public that Harley isnt just for criminal enterprises.

I tell ya what, sometimes the fear and the looks of people in their cars next to me as they try oh so subtly to hit their central locking switch in their car and pretend that they're not scared of the guy on the big noisy Harley next to them gets a bit tiring sometimes.

Perhaps we read too much into this, after all its only a girl on a Sportster. Whats unusual about that? Harley has been promoting itself to women for a while now. I also think some riders dress to look mean, beats me why they do it.

when i was a young fella i wanted a harley an got one if i had to eat baked beans for a yr so be it never had money for the bullshit clothes besides there wasnt any the clothes back then so just boots jeans flanno an cut off .i started to worrie when the bike lost its image about the time all the ppl havin mid lifes an retired ones started to buy em an the 30k worth of clothes .you could an still can see em in town dont see to many at the 1% shows or stroip nights must be to good for em to go too hey
bout 10yr ago there was normally about 100 if that harleys for sale have a look now over 300 each week maybe the lifestyle aint wat harley make it out to be realistaclly theres 2 lifestyles one for the pretent plastic ppl an one for the hard liners

hey cooky id rather see that type of chick on a bike than some the nobs ive seen lately lol

Sporties are a chicks Harley.

Whats the issue here?

Great Idea !!
the one thing that makes me uncomfortable about owning a Harley is the Criminal Scumbag (Bad Boy) image that many people think goes along with it !
The world would be a better place if more people rode and even better if they did it on a Harley !
 

The fastest Aircooled Harley is a sportster chicks harley my ass !

 

wat harley forgets is its the bad boys as its put here that kept the company alive for many yrs ..yes i spose im one of em been in my fair share of shit had punch ons with cops an footy players who thought they could impress ppl by gettin in fights with the bikie lol the harley image as it is today has well an truely lost the bad boy image as now its just a peoples bike .ya gotta agree though there are a heap in the world that do ride one cause they want the image them types are the ones that cry wolf .see em alot in the shops in their mega dollar clown outfits standin all pumped up till a clubbie walks in then they shrink .truth be known now the company is alive cause of alot of the mid lifes or retired blokes hey there was a way to look cool an to join a club eg; hog an to ride in a pack the joe norm would stand back an go wow or shudder an hide his daughters .there are many living the dream but it is only a dream to them cause they never would have to balls to live a clubbies life ..there are a few hard nuts an ive got shit loads of respect for em they ride hard like club members do they party hard they live the one life to the max i know wat its like my body an internals aint this fucked up from just goin to an from work or on a week end ride .i started on jap an brit bikes as a kid then went to harley had over 28 of the fuckas an many other bikes as well but once i seen harley forget who kept em alive i went back to brit an jappas now ppl look an say shit 1% on a jap bike lol i love the old harleys an always will but when i can walk into a shop to get parts an not see mr gasspo all pumped in his harley wardrobe maybe ill go back to em wat really makes me laugh is a bloke who lived next door came home few yrs back on a new fxd an called me over (was when i was riding fulltime) looked at the bike had my comments an he said want to go for a ride with me so as alwways yup im good .i went in got work boots on an threw my colours over my singlet an jumped on my bike started up an went to his driveway his wife came out an said he just gettin changed .well after 15mins i got the shits an fucked off down the pub id had half a jacks n coke an heard the bike pull up an i lost it he had every bit of shit from the showroom clothes dept on him had the snotrag on his head had the boots jeans chains rings hahahahah took the wanker 1/2 a hour just to get dressed he came in the pub all huffy an this lil fella that rode a norton said look its willie g an neighbour says mind u the bolke was 6inches taller than the norton bloke says hope you can back up ya big mouth ....after i rode home an got his missus to take back to pub an get his bike she took him to the hosp to mend the broken jaw .he sold the bike 3 weeks later an lost 3k on it harley NEVER HAD THE IMAGE IT WAS THE BLOKES WHO RODE THAT MADE HARLEY THE BAD BOYS BIKE TO OWN but not anymore bit like when the only ppl that had tattoos were sailors or bikies times have changed im still workin out if its good or bad but when ppl that are harley riders get hasseled by the cops they gotta understand its part of the lifestlye maybe why theres so many on ebay these days but thats just my opinion

The MOCO as such are a bunch of paper shuffling moronic pissants.
I personally have an airfilter that has "BADBOY" labled on it.

What ever gets it out there to whoever that gives a shit is the target.
They are in the market to be in the market and it doesn't matter who the demographic is they will mamby pamby to it.

Yes mamby pamby is the correct term.

As for the adnausia and the gumbiment.

Their ethos is akin to ban Harleys and there will be no bikies nor crime at all [does that really sound out of place if attributed to either or either]??

 

Oh yeah as for the OP

likened to a T-Shirt I saw last week

In search of the ideal MILF ..

yup an you should know man as they say the man makes the patch and its the same as harley was made who it is by the men that wear the patches (back 3 peice)
over the yrs from the 70s im talkin bout id like a dollar for every person that said one day ill get a harley lol but my answer was wats stopping you from havin one now if ya really wanted one youd have it
ppl have asked me the definition of a true biker
my answer is this a true biker would have had a bike since he was old enough to have a license if you can afford a car ya can afford a bike wether it be harley jap or brit also they do their own work on their bikes they modify things an change things to make it truelly theirs they work on it all night long an get it to the show the next day even if they gotta push it but never in a trailer or ute ..they party at anywhere that sells grog an they always have some mullets hangin round they ride in rain hail snow or sunshine they never give a shit about anything but the bike an family an mates they will sit an just look at the bike an dream of wat to spend the next dollar on they dont be wat they arent an have dirty fingernails they do big miles but to them its just a putt to see some mates or brothers an they will stand back to back against anyone wether the bloke with is right or wrong
i had a bike license 9 yrs before i got a car one an still do my own work an try to help others the term biker is very easily used these days but there are only a few still around that arent in !% clubs but they ride with the clubbies an party with them i was a biker for many yrs before i became a bikie im proud of who i am an will fight tooth n nail to keep the lifestyle i have many dont fully understand wat the UMC in each state are doin an that shits me idiots like major ma that says we are not bikies but they want to ride an wear the same things some clubbies do as the old sayin goes if ya cant stand the heat get outta the fire most (wat i call todays bikers) motorcyclists are lucky the clubs have formed the UMC as they are the ones taking the fight to the gumbyment an courts because of these fellas most in here will have a riding future but the UMC need support an any bike rider that hasnt joined their states UMC are only ripping themselves off
ok enough about im off to watch a bike movie oh yea a biker has many books on bikes cause he wants to be able to answer any question that may get asked i got over 100 books on harleys an then i got all the manuals an heaps models an all my dvd are all bike related mmmmmm didnt i say enough about that lol 2 more sleeps for u lot till the easter bunny comes he dont like me cause the dogs attack him an the balarm in shed always goes off to but i dont need to hang round the clearisil crowd after mungin out on to much chocolate

to be honest the wether should never dampen ya spirits to ride i loved riding in the rain dunno why but if io woke up an it was rainin id still ride n leave the car at home the best time to ride is in the rain on a cold night then all ya body sensors are on the highest peak of alertness just another buzz i liked to chase besides goin over 300kph lol anything for a natural high mate anything but no homo shit lol the good thing is when im gunna kark it i can say ive lived my life to the fullest an done many things others havent which dont make me better than others it just makes me happy knowin i did use my life well

yea i kno wat your sayin every bike i work on begs me to ride butttttttttt one day itll happen that range is a good ride either fast or slow done it heaps when up there with the mates now ya makin me upset all this rideing talk lol have a good easter bloke eyes open p.s did the angry one sort ya ?

no mate no pulleys sorry

chrisco i went to jappas but still had a harley in the background always will but now i dont cant ride i have shelved most my ol gals ..reason i went to the jappas is when harley started to forget who kept them alive threw all the shit yrs an AMF yrs i had 4 new bikes from 80 threw to the mid 90s but when i went to get a new bike in 1999 the salesman walked strait past me to a bloke that came in after me so i sat n watched the fella got a heaps of clothes an went out an sat on a new bike first twinkie an the sales man never acknoledged me even when i coughed farted an near blew my nose on the new vests lol after half a hour he came over but only after he finished with mr perfect salesman came over an said SO WAT DO YOU WANT I SAD A NEW BIKE but now i will go to the suzi shop an buy one he asked why i said next time you walk past me an you knew i was lookin at bikes and you totally ignored me
his reply was i thought you were a tire kiker
fuck i near smashed him
so the reason is im a clubbie an the harley salesman treated me as if i was some lower class compaired to the yuppy cunt he served first i had a muffler an RWC shop in brissy for many yrs an if i done buisness like that i wouldve been broke all men are equal but when i always bought bikes from the one shop an i got ignored was time to say FUCK HARLEY DAVIDSON

so why cut off you nose to spite your face, flip off that salesman and get the other guy, he then can (unknowingly) stick the commission in his face

you went there to get a Harley but settled for something else as a protest to a bloke that properly don't care and drives a car

mmm bit of food for thought
clubbies cut their bikes up to customise em yrsss ago harley copyed an started to bring semi chopped bikes out eg; dyns wglides
clubbies had cut offs or vests so harley started to sell em old oily outters were worn by clubbies then the harley shops started to sell chaps cowboys had em to before the shops lol
now you can buy matt black bikes from harley but guess who were painting their bikes matt black in the 80s mmmm
im cool with anyone that wants to ride an dress up they got more money than me lol i can only afford work boots from target an some jeans ive had for 5yrs an few singlets an tshirts i get from our shows lol the good thing is only a select few get to wear the same colours as me so it makes all the yrs of shit from the cops n footy teams worth it nothin beats sittin up the back of a pack on ya annual an seein the same colours as far as you can see up front

im glad i went back to jap man the way harleys are these days id be forever workin on it i break motors easy im real hard on bikes always serviced ect but i like goin fast 280kph outta the box with jappa wat harley does that andddddddd with wat i saved i got my sons a car each for gettin their yr 10 finished
he may just have been the sales man but he represents that harley company same as me if im out an wearing my colours the way i act or react reflects on my club

yeah fair call, the sales blokes in some unnamed harley shops look like they should be behind a computer somewhere. On more then one instance i have had more infomation then the bloke selling me shit. They are nearly always younger then me as well.
May sound silly but its more a buisiness now then a lifestyle whereas once it was both if ya know what i mean.

i understand from your point as ya cant ride (which is a shit go)and its more a matter of princible for ya.
I think ya would be a stubborn bastard to.ha

I dont like the changes that are happening much either but the love of harleys is too great to step away.
Me and the many mates i ride with are never going to ride with or become the new age harley rider and the rest dont matter.

 

Yur passion shows through Ol Skool, yur a man who wears his heart on his sleeve. Good honest stuff. For me I love the Harleys but I'm no 1%er and don't pretend ta be. I fell in love with the beasties when I rode one on a whim - a test ride, why not? Then I rode another and another and worked my way through the big Cruiser range... and I just hadta have one! LOVE 'em!

So for me it's all about the feel of the bike, the rumble of the motor, the cruisy feel of sitting back in the seat with those wide bars and enjoying the ride instead of bunched up on a rice rocket like an Olympic Cyclist wearing Power Ranger tackle. But anyhoos, back on topic I found this:

i have started buildin a bike that will give the mate the best of both worlds jappa an harley lol check this out blahahahahaha gunna piss a few wannbes off big time





a jappa soft tail WTF lol

old son (skool) I am getting the feeling you are trying to say you are a club member, I also think it would be a feeling to do a club ride, but I don't think taking it for "all those years" from cops and footy teams

I would suggest (and take it or leave it) a big cup of cement, footy teams should not be that big on putting shit on a MC, or a MC should not be taking it from a footy club,

I can't say what club you are involved in, and don't care that you are in a club, but MATE, a footy club.

If I come through Bundaburg later in the year, you will have to accept a drink from me and tell me about it, not the club stuff but the footy club.
