New Harleys 2011

[InlineSix]

I was at the local Harley emporium this morning to pick up an item for my Sportster. They have a fairly large showroom that holds 30 or so bikes with enough room in between to walk and gawk around them. Then there is the area with walls and floor displays of every knid of chrome shiney shit you ever imagined and some you can't. This is at least equal in size to the showroom. The other half of the front of the building is dedicated to leathers and clothing from underwear to hats, coolers, trinkets, jewelry, Monopoly games, mugs, kids toys, ad nauseum. This haberdashery is as big as the other 2 areas combined. HD marketing has gone out of their way to provide everything the well equipped poser / wannabe will need to become a "biker". So change a headlight bracket and give last year's paint color a new name and you have a 2011. The accessories and clothing lines will fill the sales gaps.

28 grand and 28 miles don't make you a biker but maybe if you dress the part................

Its like saying, i cant afford this overpriced windwalker but i can pay $40 for this T-Shirt. Thats an investment i just cant understand. Then again, i prefer bike builders not buyers. Each to their own.

Phil, that bike is about as close to lookin bad ass as a VRod will ever get however it has a drag bike stance with cruiser sitting position. The pegs should be where the rear axle is in my opinion. He'd have to change the pipes or cook his foot though.
