Default Did they go over this when you bought your Harley?
I must have missed this part when I picked up my bike here recently. Where does it say that if you get you picture taken with a Harley you must flip off the camera? I was looking at a bunch of pics from users in Sturgis and 90% of the ones that have people in them, are flipping off the camera.

I guess I just don't get it. Hey look it's us at Sturgis....flipping off the camera.

Here I am picking up my new bike........flipping off the camera

Here I am at my sons graduation..........flipping off.......oh wait there is no Harley in that pic so I am just being a tool.........

It's not limited to Harleys... Look at many motorcycle pics, or car clubs, or... any fun men's activity, and you'll find pics of guys having fun, flippin' the bird, etc. I don't think it's that big a deal...

I just think a hot chick with big ***** on a motorcycle is hotter when she smiles vs flipping the bird. And as pointed out, it's not only Harleys but everything else too.

Now that you mention it, I have seen numerous photos of that nature. Maybe some people just don't know what to do with their hands when being photographed? lol

I don't get that flipping off crap either. Maybe I'd do it if I was in High School but that was a long time ago...but that's maybe.

In Japan, they do the old hippie "peace sign" a lot.
