Default "Live to Ride" Crap..........

Does anyone here actually buy and install any of the accessories with "Live to Ride" on them? To me, that chit is tacky....
I saw a bike the other day that had LTR on the visors, primary cover, timing cover, and mirrors. I almost puked.

While I won't claim to have a large sample size, most of the ones I have seen around here with all that are garage queens owned by pirates. I know a good number of higher mileage riders and most of them don't put it on their bikes.

I think it's as tacky and lame as women putting the stupid "Live, Laugh, Love" signs and **** all over their apartments and houses...

LTR, Skulls, #1, Flames, whatever. If a person likes it and wants to put one that's cool. I have bought several bikes, I call over badged. One cover is OK, but as you stated, just because Harley sells it doesn't mean you have to put every piece on your bike.

Don't have it but everyone has their own story, and to each their own. So, who's the tacky SOB? The one who doesn't leave it at that.

To each their own. I don't judge, or really care.

That's about like the ones who have fringed leather hanging down all over the place. What's next, cards in the spokes on their super quiet stock bike?

Well at one time I thought that was the greatest thing I ever heard or saw. but it wont fly now, but I saw that I can still get brand new short stem square mirrors with the saying on them so I may buy a pair some day, but not today

Also my observation. Not my thing, I think it's tacky, too.
