It's no coincidence that Harley riders are as passionate about their bike as the ride itself. The flowing curves of the fenders, the smooth lines of the fuel tank, the piercing reflections from perfect chrome, the visual muscle of a big V-Twin engine - these are what set Harley-Davidson motorcycles apart from all others.

dayum... I think I'm going to go out and make love to my bike

I ride because it's the right thing to do. It stirs my patriotic heart to blast down the hightway, loud pipes exploding in the wind. Plus, I get to show off my fingerless gloves!

Because I need something from Home Depot

Because I need groceries

Because I don't want to walk to work

Because the Vette is tired

Because I need therapy that only a ride can give
