The Harley Davidson Sportster Legend
Whether you are old-school dreaming of one of the very first Harley Davidson motorcycles to roll off a small, fledgling Milwaukee motorcycle shop floor in 1903, the latest XR1200 Harley Davidson Sportster looking not so coincidently very much like the legendary Harley Davidson XR 750 Flat Track Racer of the 1970s, or a used Harley Davidson motorcycle built somewhere in between, it matters not. The only thing that really does matter is owning one of these crowning achievements of American ingenuity, know-how, and good old fashioned blood, sweat & tears.
I don't know about you, but images of the Harley Davidson iconic brand are forever burned into the recesses of my own cerebral cortex. Just the very thought of the distinctive, often copied but never completely duplicated Harley V-Twin sound -awakening your head and throwing all of your senses into a pre-defcon-alert- 'ready' is enough to send chills down the back of my spine.
The simple 'twist' of the throttle as it fuels the ferociously unmistakable thumping melody which in turn soothes and comforts in a way that cannot go unappreciated- nor unnoticed. It's antidotal. Then, take the handlebars in hand, pull in the clutch, engage first gear and suddenly it's as if you've been hit with shot of liquid adrenalin straight to your gut. I'm quite confident you know these sensations of which I speak.
For anyone who has ever had the pleasure of riding down the road on one of these fine creations, you must not deny yourself the enjoyment a used Harley Davidson Sportster can bring you. From the ‘look’ that girl in the convertible gave you to the ‘stare’ & pointing finger of the ten year old kid in the back of the mini van you just passed as you head on down the highway, to the constant unspoken ‘envy’ dripping from the gaze of those less fortunate than yourself, one thing is crystal clear; Harley Davidson motorcycles are a drug. Matter of fact, they are my drug of choice and I cannot imagine the unfortunate few out there ‘just gettin' by’ each day without a little piece of this kind of Nirvana to quell their aching soul.
This much is true- for many, a used Harley Davidson motorcycle is and always will be a better choice than a new motorcycle of any other brand name. When your riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle, you're not 'posing' for anyone, you're living the American dream.
The Harley Davidson Sportster; with it’s clean, timeless lines, friendly & intuitive riding position, no nonsense design, and best of all that sweet Harley Davidson rumblin’ sound that is unmistakably American. Take center stage…, take command of your place on the road with a Harley Davidson Sportster. The Highways are waiting….
