Oh man, you are so there. Now get yourself right down (run, dokn't walk) to your local costume shop and pick up a fake beard, take it home and rub it with a slice of pizza before you wear it.

Guess I will get my recall then. Sucks when you are successful, and can afford to ride something you like, and everyone comes down on you.
Almost makes me want to cry into my official HD handkerchief.

In reality though, judge others all you want. Thats on you, and no one else. If you can afford a new bike every year, do it. Its your life, your money. If you only ride on Saturdays, because its the only day you can ride, do it. And enjoy your saturday.
If you want to live on your bike, wrench on it, rarely shower, eat only crap food, smoke like a chimney, call yourself a "real" biker, and come down on others because they arent like you, do it. No one is affected by that but you.
Funny how we all have a passion to ride, almost all ride Harleys, and a significant amount of us pass judgement on others that like the exact same thing-but in a different way. And, because its different, each of us arent real "bikers", whatever that actually is.

It's just plastic and metal. Why are you pissing money away detailing it?

Safe here......


Have 2, ride the **** out of both, should be on R&D..... They know better, though....

Owners that wrench and mod their own rides are also exempt from the recall.... Something about the testosterone clause...

Harley davidson released a statement explaining the reasons for the recall, which will affect numerous white-collar harley riders with a focus on those in the medical and legal fields, as well as hundreds of thousands of bankers and financial advisers. The recall will also affect anyone who attempts to ride a harley davidson while wearing a helmet, without facial hair, or enjoys regular bathing.

"harley davidson deeply regrets any inconvenience unworthy riders may face as a result of this recall, but we feel it is necessary to ensure that real harley davidson fans can continue to enjoy the sense of superiority they have felt for more than a century," the statement read, "and we want to make certain that true harley enthusiasts will continue to purchase our over-priced and under-performing motorcycles the way they always have: By stealing, dealing drugs, and through the occasional contract murder."
