Well nothing like a little pot stirring on the FJR forum. The first sentence of this thread is: "The Harley Davidson phenomenon is ...."
My brilliant response is The Harley Davidson phenomenon is very much like the CB Radio craze in the 1970's. Harley has now fallen on hard times because all fads come to an end eventually.
The why Harley was popular is simple. Appealing market was able to attract the masses creating a fad. Wind in you face, freedom of the road, independence 21st century cowboy yadda yadda yadda. Funny thing is independence was often shared in a group ride in a tightly packed formation at low speeds.
As for me I have never road a Harley and likely never will. I cherish my independence. Also I prefer a motorcycle with more performance and consider it a safety advantage provided I can avoid riding like a hooligan on the FJR. Those who know me here know I don't fit into the hooligan category.
Let the pot stirring continue. Yee haw!
