Hardley Ableson has been whoring out their name and trademark for years. It's shown up on beer and cigarettes, and while many other firms show due care in the quality of the item their name ends up on apparently that's not the case with HD.

Personally I feel the company (not so much the bikes) has become a bit of a joke as they've diluted their name's value to the point that it's no longer such a highly sought after item. How could it be? What with the name plastered on even toilet paper! Harleys have become mainstream and for the most part don't infer nearly the bad ass image they used to. $30,000 and 30 miles a year don't make you a biker! LOL

Build it yourself or have it modified, but to run a modern stock bike is about as "individual" as a McDonalds hamburger. Sheesh.

Gimme an Indian or gimme death---er---something else!!
