Dave, I know exactly what you are feeling and am with you 100%. The "owners" came along and killed the Harley thing for the working men who kept them alive when not so acceptable. Same thing with trucks in general, but especially these. People newer to these have no perspective on where it was and where it is now. The one flaw with capitalism is it breeds greed, and plenty of that going around these trucks. I know people who wouldn't be caught dead in a pickup truck or anywhere near a Harley and now they own both. Remember when Progressive, Geico, and all those refused to write policies for Harleys and older vehicles that aren't antique yet? I couldn't get full coverage on my cherry '63 Riviera because it was over 5 years old but not yet historic. Same with dozens of old vehicles I've had
