Default Harley folks are all over the place

Yesterday I was in a waiting room at the University of Vermont Hospital waiting for my wife to have a proceedure done. I was wearing a Harley ball cap and just reading a magazine. A gentleman sitting across from me asked me if I was enjoying the riding this summer. We ended up in a discussion about our bikes and the riding we both enjoy in Vermont and northern New York. Another gentleman came in and sat near us. He joined in the conversation. He also was a Harley owner and worked at a nearby dealership. It made the hours pass by quickly and ended up being an entertaining time. I have read a lot about not wearing Harley gear over the years. I was glad I did yesterday as it lead to a lively discussion. You just never know where you will run in to Harley owners.

I thought you were going to say that you forgot about your wife and rode off with the other guys.

That was great txfxstrider......I showed the wife and she rolled her eyes and said that it sounded like something I would do.

I love the surprised looks I get from people when they ask if/what I ride (because I'm always wearing a H-D baseball hat) and tell them yes I have a Harley

The88Beast04 just tell them you bought the hat and got a "free" Harley with it!
