I actually do enjoy those commercials...

You guys can say what you want. HD has been setting the scope for years, all the other cruiser brands just try to follow suit.

I don't expect people here to understand. Cause you don't get it.

Further, everbody always hates the top dog.

I don't want any cruiser, HD or otherwise. Sorry, I don't want an incapable motorcycle for the roads I ride. It's not the top dog there, it's not even close to the podium. It's a backmarker.

It doesn't set the scope in anything I do either.

That's why we don't understand, because we don't have the same intentions with our rides.

I love this old commercial about Harley individuality...

i wonder when HD ceased to be a serious company and turned into a "lifestyle". 1950 something? their shit doesnt even make sense. small example

"The Man" is a slang phrase that refers to the government, leaders of large corporations, and other authority figures in general. "The Man" is colloquially defined as the figurative person who controls the world. The phrase is also often used to describe a racial oppressor, the boss of a blue-collar worker, or the enemy of any counterculture.

The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe perceived oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist"

dont get me started on the "individual" myth

Most HD riders these days are "The Man." Lots of doctors/lawyers/judges/engineers/CEOs. They cost so much, the man is the only one that can afford to ride the damn bikes and pay for their $50 t-shirts.

They must be more proud of them here. The Smoky Mtn HD dealer thinks highly of their shirts.

They have dealership stores around here that just sell the apparel merchandise and no bikes. It's retarded.

They bought the new gas station on the Tenn side of the gap and are turning it into a t-shirt store. GHEY!
