It means that I like the smells of the open road.
It means that I like condition yellow, awake, aware of the world around me when riding. Cars, people, animals, weather, road conditions, even the air.
It means I like to be an integral part of the vehicle I ride and that I cannot be replaced by a self driving vehicle.
It means I feel a greater sense of connection to other riders, no matter if they are 1%er or riding, dare I say it, a Honda.
It means that at this time in my life, my touring Harley and my sportster are the best motorcycles for me.
It means if you have to ask me why I ride or why I ride a Harley, you are probably not capable of understanding the answer.
It is what I choose.

It means I like overweight, poor handling, underpowered motorcycles. Oh, and they're unreliable too. Wouldn't have it any other way. Makes for an engaging hobby.

Without context, that could either mean "I use it to make club runs and handle business", or "It gets me to Golden Corral for lunch with the bros on time".

The Harley lifestyle is all about image and vanity.

Plus, the wife grew up around Harleys and she likes them. Happy wife, happy life.

Yup.., it could

But I wouldn't label stuffing one's face as much of a trade
