I figgered something like this, however, I wasn't old enough to have a operators license in the 70's so, according to this thread I missed the boat on being a "cool Harley Rider " in the 60's or 70's. I am still a little unclear about why it was cool then and not 15-20 years later. I undertsand there are more people on H-D's now, but there are more people in general as the population in any given area of the US is greater. I also never understood the "wallet biker" hate. The Harley Davidson costs good money even used. I personally never wanted to ride a Honda street bike, so my first street bike was a Sportster. It wasn't cheap. Anyway Im rambling again, I areadyy ascertained that I am too old to be cool, I wonder when that happened? I suppose I could start another thread " How old is too old to be cool?" Just kidding lOL!

It's so much about the when or what bikes it's like anything else that gets severely overdone it becomes oh so boringly mediocre, hard to be a stand out or the loner when everybody is doing it, that's what the harley image is today. Can't throw a dead cat out here and not hit a harley as it bounces off another one, usually a street or road glide. I've watched the dynamic change over several decades you can't buy cool today like they tried to years back, those days are long gone.
I spend upwards of 35 grand on a couple of Harleys, another couple grand on tattoos, then there was the boob job for the wife, her entire new wardrobe and her tattoos and now you're saying I'm not cool?
Well f-it then, I'm out.

I pulled up in front of a friends house on my H-D a while back, and he walked up and said something like "having a Harley isn't what it used to be, like back in the 90's when having a Harley was cool". Is there any substance to that? Like does riding a Harley make me cool?
And no, I don't care what the punks at work tell me, 1992 WAS NOT 25 years ago.
MWAAHAAHAAHAA! Nice!
