By 'you' is one used in the community of Harley bikers, title and specific salutation are taboo. And yet (or perhaps because of) owners with ordinary professions transform at leisure time to motorcycle heroes, at mos remarkable by their light advanced age. Whether this 'Born to be Wild' feeling really only based on the cult film Easy Rider in 1969 with Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson, or include the tradition of the still significantly maladjusted motorcycle gangs from the 50s?

Today can be clarified, that this cult the company has probably saved from destruction. After that potential buyers had, despite the high purchase price, also to accept time of delivery. The Easy Rider crew seeks freedom in America and find it with significantly negative connotation. Club members now put their targets probably smaller. It is known to the only supposed freedom and enjoy more what is possible.

The Harley-community has developed around the world, not rare are visits and friendships. Along with the regularly somewhere in Europe organized meetings arise extensive leisure facilities. Choppers are less suitable for long-distance travel. Not least because in their unconventional design not always receive the blessing of the Technical Control Board. Which bike is moving today exclusively with rear brake?
