An old Harley rusting in a barn is worth more than a new Honda.
Because you have wanted one since you were 11 years old.
Chicks dig 'em.
Cleaning your bike is an act of love, not a chore.
Even a small Harley is a big bike.
Even an old, beaten up one looks good.
Fat people gotta ride something.
Harley riders always have a wrench handy to loan someone.
Harley riders always have something to talk about at parties.
Harley riders always turn heads going through the center of town.
Harley riders are recognized worldwide. Wear a Harley cap or T-shirt anywhere in the world and someone will walk up and talk to you about your bike.
Harley riders do not have to worry about their bikes being obsolete by the next year's model.
Harley riders have a better sex life. Honest!
Harley riders learn to say "No" early to people who ask to borrow their bike. This skill is useful when dealing with sales people, Jehovah's Witnesses, and children.
Harley riders never have to worry about their Harley-riding friends asking to borrow money.
Harley riders understand that if you have two Harleys you are not rich, if you have two Harleys you have no money at all!
Harleys never die.
Help keep your neighbors from sleeping too late.
If someone's head does not turn, you know they are still envious.
If you are old, the idle shakes like a pacemaker.
If you are stuck in a boring business meeting, you can always think about that last ride you took.
If you ride another motorcycle at 40, people think you are either crazy or have not grown up. If you ride a Harley at 40, people think you are young-at-heart and have style.
It gives you the opportunity to try out every metal polish and auto cleaner in the hardware store.
It is like getting to ride your savings account around.
It keeps cops wondering if you are a Hell's Angel, an influential judge, or lawyer under those leathers.
Long-term marriages are safer with a Harley because the husband will be too preoccupied with the bike to bother meeting other women. And the wife always knows where hubby is when he's not in the house, he is either in the garage polishing something or out riding around town showing off.
Makes a small child shake with fear when you rumble by them.
No one ever asks you to race them.
Non-Harley riders will never borrow your tools.
Old ones keep the highways properly lubricated.
People can argue endlessly about the technical advantages and ergonomics of other motorcycles, but when it has all been said, Harley riders get on their bikes and ride away with a smile.
There are thousands of accessories available, so you can make your Harley uniquely yours.
There is more Harley rider’s at any gathering than any other bike rider.
They are always in style.
They can be slow and bitchin'.
They have a long rich history and heritage.
They have only one carburetor to adjust.
They sound Cool. Like a W.W.I Biplane!
Used ones cost more than new ones.
When people ask, "Isn't there a waiting list?" you can tell them, "Yeah, I waited 33 years and 9 Japanese bikes."
When people drive too slowly in front of you, you just get to ride longer.
When someone asks, "What color it is", you can answer, "Mostly chrome!"
When someone asks, "What do you ride?" you do not have to explain what a GSR783ATF-I Inducer is you simply say, "A Harley.".
When you do the wave to another Harley on the highway, they wave back.
When you run into a car, you do more damage to it than other motorcycles can.
When you say, "You are going to clean the bike." Your spouse will always know what you are up to for the next few hours and does not have to worry.
When your Harley is stored away for the winter, you can still polish it.
You always know there is something appropriate you can give as a gift to a Harley rider.
You always know where the cars with alarms are in your neighborhood.
You are never lonely. Instant family when you buy a Harley.
You can always find an after-market part for any Harley, no matter how old it is.
You can build one from the ground-up, and everyone thinks its cool.
You can buy a fully dressed Harley with a radio; comfortable seats with armrests, a big useful windshield, solid saddlebags and a trunk, and no one thinks you are an old fart when you ride it.
You can find any style of seat for every year.
You can find more Harley parts at swap meets and flea markets than for any other bike.
You can get a Harley bumper sticker.
You can get a Harley tattoo.
You can putts along at 20-mph, and still look cool.
You can ride a Harley in rodeo and field day competitions at bike rallies (try riding a sport bike in the barrel push or the weenie bite).
You can wear a Harley cap and not look as silly as 99-percent of people who wear baseball caps (except of course backwards, which immediately identifies you as a dweeb regardless of the brand name. — Remember people who cannot figure out which way a hat goes on are also poor prospects for mates.
You do not have to dress like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger to ride a Harley.
You do not have to drop the engine out to work on it.
You do not have to explain your mid-life crisis in detail — "Got a Harley." will suffice.
You do not have to talk your girlfriend into going for a ride.
You do not hear songs about Suzuki's.
You do not need any weight lifting equipment. You just knock it down and pick it back up.
You do not need to remove any bodywork to do a tune-up.
You get more grins per mile, even in the rain!
You get to tell people, "If you have to ask you wouldn't understand."
You meet more people at bike shows and rallies that ride Harley's.
You never have to explain or apologize for your choice or ride.
You never have to get the valves adjusted.
You never have to wonder how to spend your extra money.
Because you have wanted one since you were 11 years old.
