Rule the Road With Your Harley
What comes to mind when someone mentions the word Harley Davidson? Personally, I think of power, machismo, and anything that is hard core. I imagine somebody with massive arms, scary tattoos of snakes and dragons, long salt and pepper hair, sleeveless black shirt, leather coattails, earrings and all the works. The Harley Davidson is a legendary giant that owns more than 50% of the US motorcycle market and it is a symbol of raw power.
It was a fun surprise when I came across an article about the height of the seat of a hog being a major concern to almost all of their customers. Apparently, the seat height needs to be perfect to assure comfort while atop their monster ride. I had the perception that people take out their hogs on the road for a display of power but most just want a convenient cruise.
It makes sense that while on top of a macho ride, it is important to maintain composure. The perfect seat height does give one the confidence of knowing they can be able to lay their feet flat on the ground when needed. A rider desperately reaching for a foothold would not be a commanding sight.
When you scan Harley Davidson history, it is clearly dominated by rebel images with raked out choppers like Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider, or moody nonconformists who take to the open road to escape boring jobs and loveless marriages.
These days, you'll be amazed at the diversity of Harley owners. You will see a guy who leaps off his hog and excitedly opens his laptop to check and update his facebook account. You'll probably find a sexy clean cut woman who dials her cell phone to check how her kids are doing in college.
The diverse clientele of Harleys are definitely changing and different people want it for different reasons. Some still like to take it out on the road and be the iconoclasts that they are, living the life of a renegade. Others just like to own one for the prestige it brings.
Whatever their reasons are, one thing is clear. The hog is picked for the reputation it holds. It is power and freedom - an icon. When you are atop a Harley Davidson, you become a legend, and you are part of its rich history.
In the motorcycle world, the Harley is in a league of its own. It is classic and will always represent strength and craftsmanship. It symbolizes freedom and will always be king of the road. - 21393
