The 65 & 70 poots & calls are the play. I get mailings from HOG at least once a week, which indicates to me they are hurting sales wise. Just got some stuff from them yesterday, something about free movie tickets to the new Nick Cage cycle movie, which looks pretty lame.
And of course all the normal come-ons, buy a bike, just $99 a month!
I lived thru the bad Harley years, the AMF years, where parts would just fall off the bike for no good reason.
I'll have to find some old pics and put a few up.
We just crack up when we see a newbie, with his new Harley, new boots, new shirt, new jacket, new bandana, new tat, etc, all Harley branded, and we see a lot of them up Lake Geneva way in the spring/summer. They think they are hot, having bought into the cool guy image, but we call them instant losers...
Male menopause at it's peak.
We watch and try to add up just how much The Motor Company pried out of their wallets.
Reminds me of all the drugstore cowboy dickheads I used to see in downtown Chicago,
strutting around in their cowboy hats, boots & duds. |
