OK, this commercial is just a hair over the top, but the point remains the same. Harleys just demand (and get) respect. What the video doesn't show is that the husband probably left on a rice burner.
True Story: I pulled up to a local store on my $5,000 Harley, and a guy pulled in right next to me with about a $20,000 Suzuki Hyabusa. After conducting our business, and coming back out to our bikes, a bystander informed him that some guy had been letting his kids play on the bike. I asked if the kids had messed with mine, and she said: "No way, he even told them not to mess with it, because it was a Harley".
There's proof I have seen with my own eyes: The cheapest Harley demands more respect than the most expensive jap crap.
