Road names, the real deal you end up with because it was hung on you by your buddies or brothers for any number of reasons, sometimes not very glamorous or flattering ones. Basically you earn it somehow

Little punks making up their own to sound macho is just wanna-be's play acting bad boy. And I agree, you can tell who's who and it's funny and sad at the same time.
Got mine while in the military. Sucked at the time, but I've learned to live with it.

Never understood why people speculate that the anniversary bikes will be worth more money than their non-anniversary counterparts. I guess there will always be suckers that are willing to pay extra for badges.

Harley’s Collection series solves the problem of people putting mismatched parts on a bike. You’ve seem them…bikes with a Live to Ride derby cover, number 1 timer cover, flamed gas cap, etc.
