What is the Harley Mystique to you?
« on: July 09, 2011, 04:15:01 PM »
No matter what you may or may not want to acknowledge their is an "Air" about Harley.

Is it that it represents an American made machine (even if that is not completely true)

Is it that it is an American Icon.

Is it that there is a common belief system amongst Harley riders?

Is it the camaraderie amongst it riders?

Is it a common enemy? (MOCO)

Is it because they are the most customizable machines out there?

Is it the attention general public gives to it's riders?

Is it because this group likes to talk about their bikes and modifications, which is not nearly possible with other brands.

Is it the "potato potato" or for our english folk "potatoe potatoe" the Dan Quayle version

what is your reason?

Probably not.
I don't have a red bike.
Do red scooters count?

Thought I remembered pic of a red riding mower?  It's got an engine; all that counts.

True!
The riding mower is John Deere green.
Maybe the mystique is the feel of the motor?

It could be the tingle you get between your legs when you ride.

Not meant to be dirty. what I was saying is you straddle the bike, one leg on each side, so the rumble and power is in the middle. ;)
Believe that if you want to.  :P

Whatever it is, defiantly not what you get with a Beamer...  Just ask any motor cop what they'd prefer to be riding,, and most answers of course,, the god 'ole Harley   :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
