I was just going to quote the old saying from the Harley group, but bones beat me to it.
And I think it's completly true, if someone has to explain where the pride comes in from owing a Harley, the other person probably won't be able to comprehend it. Not because they are stupid or ignorant, just because they can't understand why.
When I look at a Honda I see cheap Chrome, cookie cut stamped fenders with odd shapes, motors with no sound, no feel, just like a lawn mower. I am NOT knocking Honda's at all, this is just my opinion, I think they do there job great, just a bike to ride and do it's job, go down the street.
Harley's give you a persona (yea cheezy as it sounds), they give you a family, friends, solid Chrome, American made blood sweat and tears, a part of a company that survived through the depression and all those years, it's history and it's pride.
There is nothing like throwing your leg over a Harley and firing it up on a sunny morning. You arn't just buying a bike... and that's that.
