May I give any respons from the other side of the pond, Europe? For us (including myself) Harley Davidson is not only the realisation of the dream of freedom but a way of living. Expressing the admiration for a wonderful piece of American technology, not even to be approached by European od Japanese motorcycles. A real man rides a harley, sissies ride Japanese or BMW…The vibration of the Big Twin in your balls cannot be compensated by the smooth, soft sound of the high-rpm machines.
Indeed a lot of truckers, firemen, policemen and other real men ride a Harley temidfs of a crowd of softies…But, be honest. They look upon you as superior bike riders, of a complete different class…far superior to the softeis.

I turned the key on the first Harley-Davidson Special Edition Lone star that went down the line at the Navistar International Plant, in Chatham Ontario Canada.
In my opinion, even if you have never owned a Harley-Davidson Motor Cycle you will want to own this Beautiful Truck! That is if trucking is your business.
On another note, I guess I am a little prejudiced as I have a Road King waiting for me when I get home from the plant.
Marketing is Marketing folks take it for what it is and RIDE ON!

I have been in the Tranportation Industry for a about 9 years and riding a motorcycle for about 2 years.
In my opinion Truckers and Bikers are alike. We like going our Own way. What does it matter to Us if someone doesn’t like the color, size, sound, or shape of the equipment that We drive or ride. We own what we can afford then we buy what We want.
Why else would someone buy a Hayabusa, a fast enough bike in any shape, and add a turbo or Big bore kit to it. Why did BMW start selling 3 different types of HP bikes. Or Buell build a liquid cooled engine, or all the new 3 wheeled vehicles coming out.
It’s called ‘Choice’.
By the way I grossed @ $182,000 with my truck and I cleared @ $65,000 after expensives, fuel was very High last year, and I run a regional route. I got to ride my UM 650R quite a bit. I want to buy a Can Am Spyder and a Buell 1125CR plus a fully Loaded, $167,500, LoneStar.
New semis are starting at @ $120,000 thanks the EPA’s new rules. Bikers’ are not the only one’s bothered Them.
