Do you get the Piss Pot Helmet as a free gift when you buy a Harley?

CHARLEY SAYS " ALWAYS TELL YOUR MUMMY BEFORE YOU GO OFF SOMEWHERE"

Feels that way, assless chaps would be more useful. The "Look" is great until you crash and use your face as a brake. For me they should be banned. Yeah that's controversial but that's my take on it anyway.

Each with their own take on the required look, ranging from Denim shorts and Doc Martens to Leather Jacket with Tassels etc......All wearing Aviator Sunglasses and Piss pot Helmet.
They all lack a wall mirror at home

Saw a guy on a Harley with 27 foot high ape hangers and the mandatory denim shirt with the arms torn off yesterday … decided he was going to tear down the middle of traffic and nearly tboned a car coming into the roundabout and then nearly dropped it cos it’s a corner and he’s on a tractor. Would have been funny if it wasn’t so tragic

Oh the open face is a classic sign of someone who hasn't crashed at speed on the road yet.

If you've not seen the recent Fortnine video on why people buy HD, it's well worth a watch.

The look I see around here is the patchwork shirt, which just reminds me of the lumberjack scene from Monty Python.

Never ridden a Hog. Like the sound of them and would quite fancy a go on a sportster. I reckon I'd enjoy it on the basis of low expectation; just really potter about listening to it.

Open facers . . . fair enough if people want to wear them (like cyclists without helmets; I've crashed with one on and it split in half, glad it was the helmet not my head that took the brunt of the impact - reinforces my view that people who don't wear helmets are helmets). Personally, I'd never wear one and I think anyone that does looks like they've stepped out of the Great Escape.

Harley Davidson is the only bike manufacturer people outside of motorcycling are aware of. Quite a lot if the times ive told someone i ride a motorcycle they will then mention Harley's like its the only bike out there. Its wierd really, they must see other bikes on the road but their mental image of a bike is the Harley.

I do have a half face and a full face helmet that I wear on my Harley, full face mainly, I do have aviator sunglasses, Ray Bans bought cheap off ebay as had scratched lenses and had tinted prescription lenses put in them.

The LOOK seems popular with Enfield and Triumph owners too.

Harley Pan America 150 bhp, new Sportster 121 bhp - both water cooled.

All this talk of Terminator reminded me of the Honda XR 4 stroke with 2 stroke noise and many many gears Laughing

Terminator 2: great movie. Probably sold more Harleys than any movie ever made before. Nothing subtle about the suggestion "as a kid you rode Jap dirt bikes [no you didn't] as befits a cool kid, and now you're a grown up [tough guy with legendary riding skills, not an accountant on your first or second bike] you ride a Harley."

Resident Evil: terrible movie; haven't even seen it. Features a modern BMW adventure/crossover thingy. The stuntwoman even had a really nasty crash, and lost her arm and shattered her spine. Will never sell a single bike.

Harley was definitely a Hollywood thing. John Wayne morphed into Arnie, and you can be Arnie too by buying this bike! I think those days are over. They sold cigarettes the same way, you know.
