    Because of RUBS, the main buyer of Harleys. Back in the day, the Hog population was biker-heavy because they were affordable to blue collar workers. There were many scoooter tramps, and mainstream enthusiasts.
    Nowadays, it's become a status symbol to people who just want it to be a 2 wheeled car, and have no concept or realization of what it might be to be a biker on any level. I personally prefer the Heritages to any other, but will limit the accessories to basic comforts for running longer distances and camping. (if I ever get this debt off me)
    So, Harley is catering to the crowd that buys the most bikes. RUBS.
    Were it all women, you'd see the dealership bikes covered with flowers and pink paintjobs. As is, the buyers don't want to miss their stock reports or news. Most could care less about the bike itself.
    Confronted with an actual biker, they'd probably wet themselves.

    I wonder when Harley will be adding their own trailer line up to the show room.That way they can get the bikes home 20 miles away.

    Yeah, wouldn't surprise me, the RUBS are the ones you see who trailer their bikes to biker events like Sturgis rather than ride them like real bikers.

    Years ago, I seen this ole boy, he had what looked like a Pete from Tri-state, stretched frame like where a drom box would go, pulled a flatbed. He had a hydraulic lift, and a full dresser. would ride up on the ramp into the tire chock, tie it down, whiz bang lifted up and slide it in between the sleeper and the headache rack. Slick as snot. They make similar set ups for RV's.
