What is there to a Harley-Davidson that makes it such a popular bike? Is it the history behind it–or what? It must be the oldest make bike in the world. Does it offer a softer ride than other bikes? It surely looks tough–as tough as a motorbike can be. And yes, so do the owners of these magnificent two-wheelers. No, you cannot, dare not put your leg across the frame of such a power machine without having the clobber that goes with it—leather jacket, bandana, goatee—yes the full armor, because this is what I like to call There must be thousands of reasons from Harley fans why they prefer this bike and why they spend literally $1000’s in modifying them, more than they paid for it! Although never ridden a motorbike before in 65 years span, I cannot do otherwise but stare in admiration when one of these thunder machines, or better, a whole pack, passes by. And lets not be jealous about it and admit that EVERYBODY will take a second glance and remark about the real cool scene that these guys and gals portray. They do look like they can be respected with their leisurely, easy-going style. It appears to be a “Grandpa” transporter, yet thousands of youngsters buy one every year. Real facts about the Harleys and owners:1. First built in 1901 by 3 Davidson brothers in Milwaukee2. By 1913, 13000 have been built3. The police department started using it in 19074. Was rewarded with several awards5. Types of engines built were a 74cu. in. V-cam, then 61cu. in. Knucklehead, then the all-famous Sportster. A liquid-cooler engine was also built So, what more does one want—being good-hearted, relaxed, good camaraderie and a bike that most people would really like to win in a competition.
