Regarding Collin's cartoon video:

To quote Homer Simpson: "Humor...I get humor." The satire wouldn't be nearly as funny if it didn't strike some degree of truth.

I work in an administrative office where some of the highest paid executives ride Harleys. For me, owning a Harley has been a rite of passage since my earliest memories, signifying financial success and a quality of life that allows a leisurely cruise through the twisties on a sunny afternoon.

My wife is stuck on the stereotypes. During one of our first "Harley talks" she asked me not to bring any riding buddies home that looked like ZZ Top.

I'm much more concerned about running into the Brads of the world.

Yeh, I'da loved to see his first time in a scooter bar! Bet he waxed his leathers too!
