:OLD:
Why is Harley Davidson So Desirable?
- By Sara Leadbetter
-
What is it about a Harley Davidson bike that stops people in their tracks? There's a small town called Matlock Bath in England where thousands of bikers meet every Sunday through the summer and park their bikes in a huge line all along the main street. I've been on holiday there and witnessed the thousands of people admiring the hundreds of different types of bikes, Japanese, British, new, old and classic, but only ever seen crowds around, you guessed it, the Harleys. Which women do you think created the most interest, the girls in their Italian race leathers or the girls in their Women's Harley Davidson gear?
Is it the chrome, highly polished until it reflects like a mirror? Is it the unique sound the V-Twin engine makes as the pistons fire at uneven intervals? Is it the sheer size and substance of the bike compared to the plastic Japanese rockets? Is it simply the name, the brand, the image that a Harley Davidson creates in our minds? Is it an excuse to wear the clothing that inspires us to feel just that little bit of a rebel?
The film Wild Hogs managed to include two different images of the Harley, the middle aged, born again biker in his new leathers, wanting to escape the boring daily routine and feel young and adventurous again, and the dangerous biker gang out to cause trouble. Do men dream about the danger, the excitement, the drinking and the women or is it simply cruising along the highway with the V-Twin throbbing away, far from the daily stress of their normal lives.
If this is the male perspective, what about a Women's Harley Davidson dreams? Do women dream about the bike, riding on the back or being with a Harley man? Is that man a stable husband where the Harley makes him that little bit more exciting or is he a rough and ready biker, in the gang, with the tats, looking for trouble. Do we want the bad boy or Mr sensible with the image of a bad boy?
Male or female, young or old, Harley Davidsons are desirable. From Womens Harley Davidson shoes to Collectibles, we want it all.

Some people need a bandana, sunglasses, and a $25 t-shirt to be cool... I don't. I'm so ***ing cool when I'm naked I shine rays of awesomeness.
For everyone else, there's H.D.
