Yep. I swore years ago that if I were ever blessed enough to own a Harley, and it had anything that said "Live To Ride, Ride To Live" on it, it was coming off. My '94 Fatboy had gas tank medallions with that crap.

Off it came.

You could always tell a newby to Harleys by that ‘live to ride’ stuff. Remember seeing a fully ‘eagled ‘ up as it was known when a bike sported the full set on a Sportster that was about 6 years old and had all of 4,000 miles on the clock.

I remember my first new Harley, I bought a live to ride air cleaner cover and thought it looked so cool! That was in 1988. Years later I remember buying a Harley from someone that was festooned with live to ride covers, and I made him take them off and put the stock stuff back on before I would buy it because I was too embarrassed to ride it home.
went to a local bike night back then, Nathan's in Oceanside Long Island, put down a towel and laid all the live to ride stuff on the towel with a sign that said "free". At the end of the night it was all still there.

You didn't use the towel as a buttcloth, did you? That might explain the lack of interest.

We have a load of LTR-RTL take offs in the shop, hoping we can give them away at the swap meet next week.

Don't care what anyone else puts on their scoot, but that live to ride crap is ugly. Anything with Willie G or skulls looks just as bad.

I kind of like skull stuff, but I always thought that Willie G. "skull" looked more like a Martian or a space alien than a skull.
