#GHOSTIN Harley Davidson has all ways tried to distance their self from the culture. In the old days if your bike was modified Harley would not touch it. My first Harley was a 1967 Sportster that I hold still to this day I got it in 1982 can I bought a panhead and move to a Shovelhead no I ride 2012 classic but still ride the Sportster

[@oldboy7724]

#GHOSTIN! I Read Hunter Thompson's book Hells Angels in fifth grade in '69. As an outsider it changed my life. Those guys didn't take anybody's crap and I knew then that I would find like minded Brothers and ride a Harley one day. The guys in that book especially Terry The Tramp along with the veterans I was raised around influenced my lifelong love of God, brotherhood, freedom and country. Back when I was a kid 1%'s rode Brit and German bikes even. After WW II there were surplus Harley's to be had cheap. A lot of service men coming home picked them up as cheap transportation and naturally started riding together. For speed they started bobbing and later chopping them. Sonny called stock Harley's garbage wagons. They would strip everything off a dresser that wasn't mechanically necessary. The Motor Company definitely owes a debt to 1%er culture but they'll never admit it. Even the profilers hanging around the dealership drinking coffee in the boutique atmosphere head to toe in leather on a hundred degree day are trying to feel a little of the culture. In a way it was the yups and rubs that saved the company when they went public after AMF but it will always be the outlaws that everyone thinks of when you say Harley. Admit it or not most Americans have a little bit of outlaw in them. Hell, this country was born of outlaws. The new regime has declared half the country outlaws. From Christian conservatives to 1%'s to all points in between we best be ready to stand together because the beast has reared its ugly head and they're coming after us. God Bless You All. Take care of one another out there.

The harley davidson motorcycle is a very interesting machine. Its Air cooled Vtwin is a similar design to a air cooled radial engine used in WW2 planes just with 2 cylinders. it Sounds like a fighter plane of that era. You can almost imagine on a highway riding one with drag pipes that your running a P36C HAWK fight. They sound very aggressive and menacing, im sure that was a huge factor to want to ride them as well.

Hey Sose, great subject. Never knew that about Sonny not liking HD. I bought a Victory in '99 when they first came out. Nice bike, but transmission problems right out of the box. Victory wouldn't warranty the repair, so I had another dealer get a way to get my repair done, no charge. I had a Goldwing for a couple of months, all the plastic was made in USA, the bike was assembled in Marysville, Ohio. I ride a 2007 Dyna Lowrider now. Absolutely the bike for me. I like the fact there is a huge following for HD, all kinds of help and advice on repairs. I work on my own bike so I don't mind fixing it. I don't view my bike as an appliance with no soul. I think Indian would be acceptable in the 1% culture very soon, if not already. Yeah, I keep up with corporate HD as I work at a local dealership. Enough said.... Best, Queasyrider

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Harley Davidson is just like any other major corporation in that in order to stay afloat and ahead of anyone else, they go where the money is. They capitalized on the outlaw biker image for years, because that's who was riding those bikes. But when they discovered a new buyer, they did just what any other business would do. With them, as with any business, it's never about loyalty, but about you buying their product. It's who's buying and most willing to shell out the money that they are most interested in.

I'm pretty sure that Sonny Barger was quoted a few times in the past as being a fan of or perhaps more like admired the Japanese bikes and I think especially Kawasaki but for the life of me I can't remember which model it was. But I also think this was related to how he felt about Harley Davidson so it may well have been more of a dig at them rather than a bonafide appreciation of another country's motorcycles. Perhaps somebody else knows more but no doubt he only owned American bikes but not sure if he ever rode any other kind of bike

I always liked the patriotism mentality, not of just 1%ers, but from the biggest part of the biker community. If your country makes it, you should buy it. That way you support your country. Where I am from, people ride Japanese, American, European (even 1%ers ) , but my country doesn't manufacture bikes. That said, I am perfectly comfortable with my big, fat, 22 year old, Japanese, couch of a bike. People have told me on a few occasions to buy a HD, but why should I? If a moment comes when I want to buy an American, there are so many totally awesome American brands, that are in the European market as well, that actually respect their customers. As for politics, when I see you talk about a subject concerning your country, I don't see a man talking politics, but a man caring about it. Loving your country is one of the highest forms of decency. If people loved their countries more than their pockets this world wouldn't be the mess it is right now. Keep doing what you do my friend!

Yeah Harley Davidson has really shot itself in the foot these past few years

[@greggmasnick8081]

Another great video and I really enjoy your channel. Being and owner of a 17 Harley Road King Special and loving it, I also have my opinion of the motor company. Here's my 2 cents: Harley started down the wrong path when they started moving away from being the motorcycle for the everyday American. That demographic is the largest in the US and Harley chose to turn away from them and attempt to cater to the elitist or older folks who could afford their ridiculously high prices. All this while the Japanese manufacturers came in and said yes to the common man offering a more dependable ride for an affordable price. Harley should step back and re-evaluate it's failing business model and realize that they need to provide the best bikes at reasonable prices to regain the throne as America's best.

[@seanfitz8627]

On the bright note, one of the new bosses at HD is making a valiant effort to improve the used motorcycle market they Harley and make them more affordable to people.

I caught flak from guys when I got off the Shovelhead and bought a used EVO. My 2 bikes are both EVOs. 92 Heritage and 86 FXR. Old coots on old scoots.

Is it just me or nobody like mentioning Indian motorcycles. They are American as well and go back forever!! I hear fewer complaints about them compared to Harley's. I was wondering why a lot of 1% percenter never talk about Indians or ride them compared to Harley's? Any answer on that Sosa Ghost?

[@Shanonmcnab576]

Polaris made Victory but the problem they faced was being able to compete with the Harley brand name. So they bought the Indian motorcycle's brand name to be able to be competitive with Harley Davidson. So it is relatively new to the market. That's why your not hearing a whole bunch yet believe me you will be hearing more and more .

[@davidleyrer7693]

Indian has gone out of business over and over again since 1901. Me personally I wouldn’t want an Indian because the aftermarket selection is shit. They’re good bikes but to say they’ve been around forever isn’t right

#GHOSTIN. Sose,another great episode, brother! I started out on a 1980 Honda cb750f then beaters/ rat bikes until I got a 95 HD Heritage. Now I'm looking for a new bike. Probably a ROAD KING,or the Softail Slim.

[@Truth...]

Been riding Harleys here in South Africa since the late sixties, have had twenty-three of them from my '37 Knuck that I've had since '75, up to my current TwinCam...and they have treated me excellently. One of my Shovels ran over 300,000!

# Ghostin I ride a 2009 softail standard with lots of extras including apes and a stage 3 kit. I had wanted a HD since I was 12 years old ( now 55 yo) and it took me 30 years till I could afford to get one which I ride every day.

[@gregemick8962]

#ghostin #victory #v92c I grew up in a union household and was raised with "support unions, support America" mentality. I try to buy American whenever possible but we don't always have the option to. If I wasn't riding a Victory, it would be an Indian or a HD.

The funny thing is that HD isn't completely American some parts come from foreign countries and HD has been moving it's factories to other countries while some foreign countries have their bikes built and made in America

[@deangullberry5148]

It's all about getting around tariffs. If Honda didn't build bikes in the U.S. they'd cost damn near what a Harley does. Harley moved operations overseas because countries put high tariffs on Made in America, and some won't allow importation. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast to lose "purity"(?). If a doohickey made in Brazil costs half what the same would cost in Indiana, you'll increase production in Brazil. Indian is no better. They use overseas parts, and Polaris is a Canadian company. The only way to 100% USA is to take years sourcing each individual part, and build your own. Then you end up with a 40K Softail....

[@robreffer7522]

#ghostin. I like how he put it. It's about what's comfortable and for anyone to put you down for what you ride has forgot what riding is all about. It's about the sense of freedom and the inner peace that riding brings you.

[@DemonsRow]

Thats the truth

[@dalepotter6918]

I just learned a lot more details from what you just said . I have always know that " THE OTHER BIKE " were American made . And I've always know that the HELLS ANGELS was started from WW2 vets . But I have never realized that point that Sonny pointed out . WILDMAN

[@dyna98rider]

#GHOSTIN.... the craziness you see with guys on the less expensive dirt bikes and sport bikes taking over entire freeways, wheelies and stunting...all the wild shit on the street is just the evolution of the culture that started on American bikes. HD priced themselves out of this market demographic and profited off the old skool outlaw type image at the same time not giving any credit to the people like Mr Barger and his club that kept the company afloat when times were really bad for them. Who remembers the AMF days? Now the HD demographic is dying...average age if an HD buyer is mid 50s...sad! There is so many of people that would want to buy an HD but can not justify the cost and maintenance.

Thank you for explaining . That's why you definitely have it together .

You used to be able to ride British Bikes because they were Allies of the USA during WW2. You just couldn't ride German or Japanese Bikes since they were America's enemies during WW2.
