You guys (and the author) are still living in the '70s. Bikers were rebels in those days. The "Easy Rider" culture was in full swing. Hell's Angels terrorised the land. Unfortunately, those 20-something hellraisers are now 50-something, middle-aged capitalists with bulging portfolios and stomachs. Just like Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Elton.

Today, Harley riders today are a diverse group of people and include a lot of yuppies who are weekend bikers. They are a symbol of the establishment, not rebellion. Elton was the perfect choice.

Who the hell cares about bands like Steppenwulf that are stuck in a time warp, now parodies of their former selves assuming that they're even living. Rebels without a clue.

Harley is no longer synonymous with "heavy metal" and the Harley people don't want it to be. Elton's music is timeless, spans 4 decades and was a good choice.

Harley ISN'T selling this "time warp"? paleeeze.

Your post is a joke. I know of a group of bikers who would beat the shit out of you for even saying Elton John. You are mistaken if you think the HARLEY crowd has turned into a bunch of poofter boys. In fact, the Harley crowd and the American South will never give in to the liberal Spew World Order Types.

You couldn't be farther from the truth if you tried.

bzzzzzt! wrong answer. I hardly think the Harley Riders appreciated a flamer like Elton at their party. I used to really like his music, the older stuff, but now he is a national spokesman for Butt Pirates R' Us, not cool....
