I really don't care if Harley leaves Milw. I'm sick and tired of hearing bikes with loud pipes roar by my house or park and cops do nothing. But if I was in a 70 camaro with headers and straight pipes, boom - ticket.
There's a joke I heard once - great stuff:
What's the difference between a Hoover vacuum and a Harley motorcycle?
The position of the DIRTBAG!!!!!
YES - funny stuff, and pretty true!

Polaris2: Read the book and it made sense at the time for Unions to start but now you have OSHA. The book will make you think about eating a hot dog again, lol.

I am not so sure completely a joke, based on the sterotype I've developed over the years.

Has anyone read the book " The Jungle"? If so you would understand why unions were organized.
The "Jungle" is a very good book. I read it and did a book report on it in High school and then again in College. But that was back in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Things have changed a bit since then. And yes Unions WERE a big part of it back then. Not so sure if needed now. No matter what an American employer can do to you today can't even compare to modern day China. They are simple entering and at the stage of Industrializing today as were we were at 110 yrs. ago. I heard today that more Cadillacs are sold in China than the US. It won't be long and they will be like us and "want it all". Look at Japan. India (land of the telemarketer/customer service) is on its way too.

I suspect it's because Cops, Lawyers, retired rocket scientists and Judges ride Harleys and kids drive Camaros. Did you know that a Corvette and a Camaro (long hood) are considered Phalic symbols for men and boys who feel they don't quite measure up. (It's a joke). lol But studies at Harvard back it up anyways.

Harley-Davidson: The most efficient method to turn gasoline into noise, without the byproduct of horsepower. Yesterday's technology at tomorrow's prices. They will be out of business in 10-15 years due to lack of innovation and increased pricing and most of all, their fanbase will have died off by then.

and also, the signature Harley engine sound is actually the sound of a poorly balanced engine;

At least Milwaukee bought some time. People will retain jobs for the time being.

Yes, you are correct, I did drive Camaro's and Corvette, when I was in my early to mid 20's - in late 70's.
As for your list of types that drive Harleys - this would most probably be the exception as opposed to the rule. I'm thinking more along the lines of bandana wearing, unshaven, bald-headed types with cigarattes hanging out of their mouths, and flab rolling over the belt line, rolling out of some seedy biker bar. Sorry to shatter your image.
And I can turn it around and say most guys I've known that ride harleys have something to prove regarding manhood or other psycho problems. Ride a harley, look tough to the 40 yr. old mama's. LOL

Lets not turn this into a bash Harley thread please. Lots of guys on here love their Harleys, and I don't feel like babysitting this thread.
I'm sorry, I get carried away when talking about HD - I hate their product and think its all hype based on loud exhaust and chrome. Any jap bike will blow a HD away on performance. That always seemed odd to me when spending 15 grand on a motorcycle.

you guys and all your harley bashing.i'll play tug of war with any of your jap crap and pull you into the next county.they are loud,thats probably why no one has pulled out in front of me since i switched from a jap bike.if you bash harley you either figured out it's to much bike for you,you got to lippy at a biker fest,you got fired from harley or your a liberal.
Can I run Citgo Sea & Snow in my Harley?
