​I'm totally into letting people drive the machine of their choice, and if
that's a Harley-Davidson, I'm okay with that. But let's face it, the H-D
v-twin and retro 1940's styling became SO popular that other bike
manufacturers rushed in to get a piece of the pie and created a marketing
frenzy. They all did their level best to hijack or even one-up the original
Harley design. Some people would call that capitalism. I call it
conformism. But hey...what do I know?

Again, to each his own. I'm not against Harleys, per se...but I have to
confess I have been disappointed to see the motorcycle industry lose its
collective appetite for creativity and style and just blindly build bikes
to fit what I consider to be a rather restrictive design. But...I know that
dollars speak the loudest and with a doubt, the v-twin, retro 1940s styling
certainly has obviously won the American heart. C'est la vie
