Thoughts from the Curb

Feb 11, 2009 - The Rant: I Heart Harley

I understand the need for Harley enthusiasts to look tough. How else do you explain all the leather, the metal, the skulls, the buxom blondes in tow wearing leather, metal and skulls. But why is it a good idea to put a giant metal crest on the armrest of the 2010 Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson edition? I know Harley riders are accustom to traveling in discomfort -- how else do you explain riding atop a hot engine with ear-spliting exhausts blaring and your arms positioned six inches above your head? Oh, and having bug splatter in your beard. But you've gotta figure that Mr. Harley Rider who buys this ultra lux pickup is nevertheless expecting some modicum of comfort. I guess not from his right elbow, though, because its going to be resting on Conan's shield.
