Just tore off yesterday's date on my Harley calender and noticed this quote for today...

'Every family has its black sheep'

Guess the MOCO does consider us black sheep...

It use to be they wanted everyone to believe that we were just like everyone else and they wouldn't even sell a T-shirt with a skull on it. They are finally giving us what we want. I like it.
Same here,just bought a new beanie today to match the badge on my Train's gas tank:

ORIGINAL: grumpy irish again

say this harley add last night
bunch of black sheep all gather up and end up in a town that looks like oatman
what the h3// is this add trying to say?
we are all black sheep and don't belong ?
we don't follow ther herd ?
we all belong in oatman ?
what is your take.....
I wasn't impressed the first time I watched it,but now I like that video more every time I see it.Check out the "expressions" on the white sheep's faces as they're watching the black sheep slip under the fence to make a run to paradise city.The white sheep look stunned,cluless,they just don't get it and continue on with their dull boring existance.

The grass really is greener on the outer side of the fence:

Guns "N Roses soundtrack playing..."Take me down to Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty....."

The black sheep come stampeding into town down main street....

I'm not a black sheep or the same as others.

I'm stupid.

Must be, since that's what my wife tells me every time I come in wet from riding in the rain.

Like today. There was just no explaining that we had to hang for three hours with one of the guys who blew a tire until he was towed and tubed. Regardless of the rain everone knew was on the way.

Just stupid, right?

Black sheep, whatever. You want to be different, buy a Vespa. There is a harley in just about every other driveway with the same bolt ons trying to outshine the next guy, looking to steal all the attention from the next harley rider. We can think as yourselves as black sheep or baaaaaadaaaaaaa$$ or whatever but in the end we are all just everyday riders. Black sheep? Most of us are afraid to ride in the rain, park in a see of cars, leave the bike in the driveway over night, ride across country without the aid of a trailer or tow vehicle. Hd should swap those sheep for kitty cats. Nothing different about owning a harley.

FMSHINER said it best "I want to be different. Just like the other 2,000,000 that ride!"

The video I thought was dumb. Just my thoughts and this thread is again one of the reasons I love this site. Sorry if I got some of you maaaaaaaaaad but thats what forums are for to express our thoughts.

Then it would seem that your bike is a rolling billboard for everything you've just stated.... But you did say "we"..... perhaps in most cases the brainwashing worked.

So what ??? Isn't that part of the fun ? Just like those commercials selling sugary cereal when we watched Saturday morning cartoons when we were kids...

The only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys....
