Default Why Jack Daniels??
What is with JD and harley? Why does everybody "customize" their bike with the Jack Daniels logo? I've never really understood why. Why not budweiser or milwaukee's best?

Maybe we could get the guys over at OCC to do a Milwaukee's Best tribute bike! Well anyway must just be a forum of expression. Actually never seen much as far as JD bikes.

Now I do like Jack Daniels, but I don't have any desire to logo up my motorsickle with their logo, unless of course they would pay me to do it.
