It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Harley Davidson is woke now. frothingfash

My overwhelming impression is if you buy a Harley period your intention is to be an asshole.

That's been my experience with pretty much every biker that's on anything other than a touring bike riding by themselves on a dirt road.

But then again I have a massively negative opinion of bikes in general. Literally today a 19 year old at the restaurant my girlfriend works at is dead within 6 months of buying a sports bike. Last weekend was the annual music festival to raise money for a fund set up to support another person in town who paralyzed themselves and died early from crashing a Harley. More than once a month I get passed on a blind double yellow in a 35 before watching the asshole pull into his yard with a "look twice save a life" sign in his yard. For two weeks every summer you can't go out to bars or restaurants or even enjoy being outside within 1/4 mile of a road because it's "Americade" and there's 2 dozen douchebags trying to fight any local who doesn't tell them how cool they look in their shiny new vest and red lining their engines for 18 hours a day.

Sounds like you live somewhere that draws biker tourists, it must be pretty awful.
