I thought H.D. was trying to get away from this very characterization.

the idea is funny, but as a Harley fanatic...SHOW ME THE HOG!

it's like putting out an issue of Playboy without a centerfold.

When you drive a Harley, ppl will be afraid of you. And, that's a product benefit.

I agree...why would Harley want to show they create fear amongst women, baby and dogs. It would be a much better campaign if they had a big burly looking man in his chevy nova or something sitting in his car quivering with fear - if thats what they wish to imply. Then it would almost be like they demonstrating that harley riders are men amongst men....agree?

Would have thought they'd try to combat this very mentality... Would have done better if they had done something similar to the Skoda ads which tried to change the perception of potential customers that Skoda is a poor quality car.
