Yeah, I'm not sure what Harley Davidson thinks its going to get out of any partnership with Queer-Beer. But, maybe Harley knows more about their riders than I do....

I think many people buy them due to their American beginnings. Now, whether they realize it or not, they're riding something more foreign made than American.impartialobserver » 02 Jun 2023, 1:38 pm » wrote: ↑ this does not seem like a wise move for Harley Davidson. Their sales have been stagnating if not declining. Personally, I have never romanticized them. Main reason is my dad and his friends having Harleys from 1976 to 1981 that were constantly needing repairs.
Those were the AMF Harleys, and yes, they were pretty much garbage.impartialobserver » 02 Jun 2023, 1:38 pm » wrote: ↑ this does not seem like a wise move for Harley Davidson.

I can understand that sentiment. It would be cool if it was completely American-made but good old economics gets in the way.DeplorablePatriot » 02 Jun 2023, 1:48 pm » wrote: ↑ I think many people buy them due to their American beginnings.

It was such a buzz kill. I would get all sorts of amped up. They would go out for a ride to one of the reservoirs in Southern Idaho on various Saturdays and go fishing. While I did not care about fishing yet.. I was going to be able to ride a Harley. And Friday night.. the inevitable trip to the parts store and most times..by mid-saturday they would put it in the garage and call it a day.RedheadedStranger » 02 Jun 2023, 1:49 pm » wrote: ↑ Those were the AMF Harleys, and yes, they were pretty much garbage.
I used to work with a guy that rode a '77 Sportster Ironhead and I swear he spent more time wrenching than riding... probably by 2 to 1.impartialobserver » 02 Jun 2023, 1:56 pm » wrote: ↑ It was such a buzz kill.

I heard of them, but don't know much about them. I think they were the outfit that had the brand when it was bought by AMF in the mid 60's if I'm not mistaken.DeplorablePatriot » 02 Jun 2023, 1:54 pm » wrote: ↑ One exception...when the Italians made them. The Aermacchi-made was decent.

...or a brown eye. If this "partnership" is real, **** them too.
They should have stayed away.
Pandering, marketing, manipulating so easily.
Will bikers be that pliable?
The Harley Davidson COMPANY may get some kick back or some kind of benefit.
