Why are there car and SUV ads on a motorcycle forum? I could understand motorcycle related but cars and trucks? Thoughts, comments?

I own a car and a SUV, besides my motorcycle. I'm sure Harley owners are a desirable demographic.

Advertisers spend their money based on the demographics of the members, users, etc. Probably why you don't see things like ads for yoga pants or kale chips.
