Sounds exactly like the same people you're bitchin' about
I will ride my XS and Triumph over their grave. Harley Douchebags.
I always get a kick out of how non-Harley riders feel belittled by Harley riders. I've had tons of Harley riders walk up to me on my XS admiring the bike and they inevitably strike up a conversation, usually reminiscing about how they drove one "back in the day". What I really get a kick out of is when I pull into our local Harley dealer on my XS, to pick up a part for my Harley. I think it's a misnomer to characterize all Harley riders into a particular negative stereotype. Most I meet are great and respectful people, not unlike most I meet on this forum.Jray77 may have something there.
Another Iconic brand BMW, this was their heritage model, improved over the years.

Everyone knows this....and they followed the automotive industry. Just like you can't claim Chevy or Ford is American-made, but they are all a made-in-America brand...my main point. Harley was a genius at building upon their brand and what it stood for....which any good company does.Made in America? Harley's Milwaukee operation isn't much more than an assembly plant for foreign-made components: carbs by Mikuni, forks by Showa, ignition by Hitachi, pistons and who knows what other engine parts made in Mexico. Maybe the frames are still welded up in the US so Hardly can claim to produce "American Iron?"
