You can rag on the Harley-Davidson all you want, but in the end, when all the facts are known, it is a the "All American Motorcycle" worthy of the title in all respects

Lighten up. They're a fine company and they make good motorcycles; however, a fair amount of "riders" I know are posers for whom the bike is a fashion thing?

Oh, I agree, wholeheartedly. As one who has owned the same Harley, through thick and thin, for 36 years, I've noticed the nouveaux riche and their clothes and their rides. But they only ride Harley's for fashion, not the experience. The Rice Rockets and the open pipers bother me more than the stock brokers on a new FL.
