Unfettered Souls – The Harley Davidson
Nothing, and I mean nothing, to me symbolizes the spirit of freedom and strength more than a Harley Davidson. Ever since the Hell's Angels gained notoriety and biker gangs began roaming through their wild state roads in the U.S., Harley Davidson has become synonymous with classic themes of focused passion and power, most especially rock and roll music.
If a rock fanatic and a biker myself, the Harleys have long been a very special place in my heart. If you are thinking of owning one, just because you've got tons of money and want to show how rich you are, I would wholeheartedly tell you now, NOT. You give the real bikers and rockers out there a bad name. Not to mention that you will look funny, and everyone will be laughing at you behind your back. Or in the face, depending on how polite they are.

Okay, that said and done, let's talk about the bike. Harleys have pretty much set a trend and there are tons of posers out there that have come up with easy riders who are trying to at least mimic the bad-boy look of a Harley Davidson. The real gang members spend most of their time laughing their butts off at these imitations.
There is no way to fake the look, feel and sound of a real Harley. Making a line of Harley look-alikes is like trying to take a mule, and asks it to pretend it's a thoroughbred stallion. No comparison, end of story.
I could go on about the specs of the machine, but it's not the point. A Harley is not about numbers and figures as the engine RPMs. It's something you need to drive to experience and understand. If your heart does not match with the spirit of the bike if you do not like rock and roll and are afraid of things like noise, power, roaming around, and change, so the experience of riding the bike will probably horrify you. As a wild horse knows of one novice riders will cycle probably throw you at first opportunity.
This is not for everyone, I can honestly say. That is what makes the Harley so special. It's all about attitude, and loving the concepts of freedom, chaos, and living life to the fullest. If you think you can handle it, then give a Harley a try and see if you have what it takes to run with the pack.
