My wife, who is German, tells me that for years after she came to the U.S. she assumed it was pronounced “Bweek”.

a friend of mine is like that, all h-d, all day. he even has dress shirts with h-d on them...they are orange black brown and beige...some stripes, some plaid...ugh...I always want to tell him how stupid he looks...but I’m too nice!

I heard they’re made in Belgium, which also doesn’t exist.

Was thinking the same thing. I haven’t seen one in years.

Now you’re just trolling us with made up cars. There’s no such thing as a “Buick.”

As someone in their mid-20's that has bought a brand new Harley, I 100% agree with you. I spent as little time in the dealerships as possible. I did all my research as to what I wanted and what I was willing to pay before going in. Multiple dealers tried steering me in another direction from what I told them I wanted…

Come on down to Muenchener Opel!

Seriously--”I want to be a rugged individualist so I’ll wear the same thing (chaps optional) as all the other H-D riders.”  What a joke!

Hey! The youngest of us are only 55! And *I* ride a sportbike.

Got to take care of yourself down there.  It could drop to 60!

Currently I’m a little busy prepping myself for the cold. Don’t want to go into the harsh Phoenix winter at less than 18% body fat! 

I’m as annoyed about them as anyone.. but the boomers still have a ton of discretionary money (and other money) to spend on shit they don’t need.  If you can hook them, they’re a goldmine. 

Remember Scion? Toyota was smart enough to create a sub-brand that younglings would gravitate toward, and eventually folded it into the parent brand once the vehicles were established. Harley should do the same thing, or just quietly buy Zero and grow it while the main H-D brand withers and dies.

Was this in North Koreatown? Could have just been you-know-who test driving another Benz.

I had a buddy some years back who rode and he ended up at a Harley event just wearing normal street clothes and said he got all kinds of shit. His reply was “I don’t want to dress like I’m in the Village People”. Almost got in several fights, lol.

I hate to break it to them, but it’s time to alienate the Boomers.  They are reaching retirement home age, and probably shouldn’t be on the road anymore.  They should probably just dissolve HD and re-tool as something new and imaginative.  The HD name comes with too much baggage, and the “youngs” don’t want to be even…

Expecting the youngs to willfully step foot in one of the leather-wrapped Boomer hives known as Harley-Davidson’s T-shirts and American Flags and Also Motorcycles was a fool’s errand from the jump. The whole brand needs an overhaul, but they risk alienating the geezers with pension money to spend.

I think a lot of riders were turned off by Harley’s legal requirement for them to shout “POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO!” whenever the bike’s ignition is in the “on” position.
