I'm 63 years old and one of the things on my bucket list is getting myself a Harley and ride from Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 all the way to Sturgis bike week some day.

I'm from South Africa, my dad and I work in the united States on an agricultural program, my dad had a Harley sportster that he won in a competition in 2006 but had to sell it in 2012 after the 2008 recession caught up with us. Last year I bought myself a 2015 sportster in Iowa I want to get my dad a Harley too but money is tight so we'll take whatever we can buy used and ride to Sturgis this year and hopefully yellowstone too. It doesn't have to be a Harley although a Harley is preferred for the experience. But don't let brands hold you back just get something and ride, enjoy the experience, you could always trade in for a Harley later.

My Great uncle ,Roy Macdonald & his wife my aunt ran and won in the 1914 PROVIDENCE motorcycle triangle club Run. I still have uncle Roy's solid silver fob that was given him at the run . I truly would love to see that run reenacted with vintage bikes to ere and would be a great blessing to participate as well. True ridder history. ❤❤❤

Harley Davidson has always been in the back seat. I am a real man of family and growing older (45) . Most of my elders have passed along with my wife. It was a terrible time to watch . To see all of the car companys fold really added to my love of the past . I still have my late wifes 05 XLC . I have a thought that no matter what that These motorcycles will be here forever and keep us on the ground . God Bless the rock of Harley-Davidson. Always there when you need them. Never leave ya

Reading some of the negative comments is sad.a Harley Davidson is not a maintenance free machine. And haveing mechanical aptitude all though not a requirement for owning one. Is deffinetly a plus. Actually owning a unique machine that you yourself conceived and built is a spruce of intense pride and accomplishment not unlike ownership. Wich the bottom line is. If it has to be explained to you you won't understand it anyway.

I'm okay with Harley Davidson motorcycles, though large, heavy, cruiser-style motorcycles aren't exactly my thing. I tend to want middleweight, standard or adventure-style bikes. Several of my best friends ride Harleys however, and I appreciate all the history and American pride associated with the brand. I especially like all the custom ones around, and respect the artists/fabricators/mechanics/enthusiasts who create and own them. I have had the opportunity to ride many of them over the years, and have done several long rides on them. And I can tell you that no bike munches highway miles and coddles your weary bones on a long trip quite like a road-ready Harley Davidson. I have always ridden Japanese bikes though, and unfortunately, several of the biggest douche-bags I've ever met in 50 years of avid motorcycling were rude, loudmouthed, outspoken Harley riders who absolutely hated my guts after simply seeing my non-Harley bike. A few of them over the years were actually ready to fight about it. So excuse me if I am somewhat cautious and slow to approach or try to get to know just anybody I happen to see on them.

In fact, my 90 year old mother drives a car faster than I do today. But at 57, and 18 years off, I picked up a dirt bike again and am looking forward to Michigan trails. My mother chickens out there, Ha!. :)

Its not often you hear about someone that worked at Hughes any more (53:23). Even more rare, some one that worked at Ford Aerospace and North American Rockwell. They must have been in Orange County interviewing folks.

And your '75 looks a lot like my '07 and a lot like a '57. Harley has refined the bike massively over the years, the frame, engine, everything, yet they have kept the basic look and character of the bike intact for half a century and more. Their look is classic.
@snakebite6511

75 Sportster or 07 Sportster, they look the same not because their look is classic, more because Harley has no imagination which is why my 73 FLH looks the same as a 17 Road king, well actually my 73 FLH looks better. All in all, i am done with Harley, last Harley i bought was a 2007 Harley Rocker C, gorgeous bike and today they call it a Breakout lol. Harley really needs new designers and have style and taste and Harley owners need taste also, every Harley on the road is black, nothing unique about owning a Harley, they are black, big deal. After moving to Indian in 2014, I've never been happier, in fact, I'm probably going to be buying a 2017 Indian Chieftain this year and give my 2014 Indian Chief vintage to my wife.

Id like to say that harley Davidson gives the consumer a base product that is dependable and American made. In my book that is huge. Harley Davidson was made big by the guys that customized their Harleys. The harley Davidson of today still holds true to idea. I love Harley Davidson thru and thru. Do I think they could give us a little more? Yes I do. BUT they are still giving us exactly what we want and that's a badass American made bike and a culture like no other and absolutely like no other manufacturer of anything has ever done.

I've only owned a Honda Magna and Suzuki GS 750E back in the 80's and early 90's. I remember guys on Harley's would never wave to me on the road, guys on other bikes usually waved back. If I ever wanted to ride again (which I don't), I would buy a Harley but agree, people shouldn't feel like it's less cool to own a Honda or Yamaha, etc.

I just read your comment after I posted mine and I agree with you. I often start to wave at passing Harley riders only to be stopped short because they beat me to the wave with "The Bird". I would also guess that about 95% or more of those supposed tuff guys in their black leather and patches wouldn't dare raise a finger if we were standing face to face. Not only because they then would be forced to act civil instead of an ignorant, snob-ass prick that thinks they can get away with it by staying on the throttle, but also because they could tell by the look in my eye they might pull back a broken finger. I just hate pricks in general, thanks to the work force, mainly.

I owned a Honda and a few Suzukis including that weird Wankel RE-5 job and a GS1000... after many years not biking I just bought a 2007 Sportster. One thing has to be said for the Harleys, at least assuming they're mostly like mine. I added forward controls, replaced the exhaust system, moved the foot pegs and did other things and the bike was a dream to work on compared to my old Suzukis. They used aluminum phillips head screws - which often were stuck in place and the little tiny heads stripped out easily trying to get them to turn. Also on the Suzukis there was a ton of plastic on them. My Sportster has 100% high quality Torx or Allen socket head bolts on just about everything, and the only plastic is in the turn signal housings and the lenses; other than that there is no plastic anyplace. My Sportster is much better built. I remember stripping out screws and screw heads on my GS1000 when it was only a couple of years old. I did like my GS1000 but it wasn't built like a Harley.

I swore I will not buy a motorcycle ever in my life, ended up buying a Harley Davidson 1200 now that I'm 32 years old. Owning a Harley to me is matter of pride and heritage. To me these machines talk about the owner and how the see life. They are not the fastest yet they are dependable, comfortable and strong.

Their success lay in getting every idiot to wear their logo. Hell 75% of people advertising for them don't even own a motorcycle. If they are "Americas motorcycle" then what justifies them swindling hard-working Americans out of their money by charging us 10 more than the bike is worth. I ride Yamaha's, Hondas, Kawasaki, Suzuki's of the same size shape and style for less than 5000 to 7000 dollars. And when it comes to repairs ( which the aforementioned bikes have less of) the parts are unaffordable. I have nothing against the bike or the rides but it just seems the true sprite of freedom has taken on a large dose of commercialized. So go ahead put your finger in the air.I ride two wheels, not a name.

I can't speak to everything you said, but a bikes "worth" is subjective....meaning it's an opinion. Not a fact. I bring that up, because I think they're worth what we pay (upon further thought, I don't think they're worth as much as Harley charges. They're worth more...but not like 10k more) My experiences with Honda's, victory's, Suzuki's etc is that they're cheaper bikes (they're reliable, and can be fast)....but their CRUISER offerings feel cheaper, plastic parts, fake chrome, rough edges etc. The Honda fury has plastic fenders, the Kawasaki's used the same cheap looking and feeling handle bar switches as their dirt bikes. The victory had it's tank emblem peeling off after a year. I'm not saying the other companies don't make a good bike, but I just find Harley's fit and finishes to be worth the extra price paid.

@@michaelwall2304 Also, once again, worth is subjective To the right buyer, probably a Honda enthusiast, your Honda is worth three comparable Harley's (I'm assuming you meant to say comparable). No one has to agree with me, just trying to explain to people why people like Harley's despite their ridiculous cost. (Side note, I think Harley is learning the hard way about their prices...while I do think their design/styles, fit, and finish are worth extra money, I don't think they're worth THAT much extra. Many buyers are agreeing with me)

The Henry Ford success is a big reason why more motorcycles were not made in the USA, as they were in Europe. The first affordable car overshadowed the desire to buy a motorcycle. That is the way it goes, but a shame to me never the less.
