I'm not sure I understand your question, but If I had to pick one bike brand to tattoo on my body (highly unlikely - I have no tattoos and if I did I doubt it would be a corporate brand), I'd probably pick Kawasaki, the brand of my first bike as a kid and 4 more since. BTW, I'm not American, so the fact that HD's are (partly) American-made has no real significance for me.

You know, though, if when I get old I want a touring cruisers, I might well go for a Harley. I think Harley has the best integrated and overall well though-out cruising tourers, with good wind protection and decent ground clearance.

I understand your answer. If I had a tattoo, it would "Barney" in a heart, but he was my first Quarter Horse (some things are equal to Harley's).

I once posed that question to my neighbor who owned a Yamaha. It is very hypothetical. "What if a gang held you hostage and you had to choose a tattoo of a motorcycle to live with all you life. Would it be Yamaha or Harley. He got the point. It is similar to being a Marine. Unique unto itself, and beyond money value. No, I am not a Marine, but I respect those that were or are. They are the H-D's of the US military.
