Default So very wrong

I was following a guy on my way home from work today he was riding an older Kawasaki Voyager and I noticed a bumper sticker on his trunk that looked familier, he stopped for a light and I got closer and sure enough it was a "Screw it lets Ride" sticker with the HD logo cut off.

Can't say that I understand what your point is? If he had left the H.D. on there, you would probably be razzing the dude because he had a Harley sticker on his Kawi.

Let's not dump on Matty for this post. I think he was presenting a bit of humorous irony.

I'm seeing this guy's sticker as a "thumb in the eye" of Harley's advertising crew... carrying the slogan a bit further than Harley intended!

"Screw it" (the Harley Posing)... "Let's Ride" (and he IS!!!)! Good post, and great innovation on that sticker!

I think thats a score for the Harley advertising crew... the dude related to the message they were trying to get out to people. Granted he had to cut the bar & shield off but at least he had the respect or brains to do so before putting it on his kawi.

None the less it's still some humorous irony.

I think cutting the HD logo off and keeping the phrase is kind of gay. That's just my opinion though.
