War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

It’s a simple fact that people either like Harleys or they hate them. There’s little middle ground on opinions about America’s definitive motorcycle.
Well, here’s another sort of Harley…
Another Sort Of Harley

OK, she’s certainly not what William and Arthur envisioned in 1903 but the Harley Quinn has all the attitude and still provides that comfortable soft-tail ride that so many of us prefer. 😉

And here’s Buffie Carruth showing us all that, no matter which frame you choose, it’s possible and preferable to achieve the comfort and style of a soft-tailed ride. 😉

Some pairings seem preordained in any society. In America one of these pairings is beautiful women and motorcycles. Whether one describes it as bikes and babes, hawgs and hotties, or choppers and chicks, this combination is deeply ingrained in people’s consciousnesses.
Bikes & Babes – They Go Together
I’m really not sure at all if the near-ubiquitous combination of hotties and motorcycles is due to marketing campaigns that have propagated the imagery or if those marketing campaigns are due to an existent societal meme which paired beautiful women and bikes. The pairing has been around a long time though.
Harleys And Hotties – Right From The Start
Of course the reasons and origins of the meme don’t really matter. What matters is that women and motorcycles are a natural pairing in America. it’s one of the reasons- though only one, albeit a fine one – that many of us prefer a bike over a cage.
