People love their vehicles to the point of being collectors or by never agreeing to settle for anything less than the kind they love. There are truck enthusiasts, car nerds and hard core motorcycle riders. The dangers of the roads just brings on their energy that they would give anything to cruise, everyday if they had the choice.

And so they would ride and drive. Among them though, Harley Davidson motorcycles stands to be unmatched when it comes to a brand well loved by Americans. With a history going back to the 1900s, the company has established itself in being iconic.

More than a century has defined its place in the motor industry, in the United States as a whole. In fact, because of that, people often think that there is nothing about it that has not been discussed and argued upon. And others tend to question if enthusiasts buy into the machine or just the brand. But this kind of bike has earned a rightful place. That much is true.

Since then, it had, to this day, remained as an image of classic Uncle Sam icon. To be familiar about it, gives you an edge among many first time riders. Oh yes, you would still consider owning one, like any average Joe hardcore bike enthusiast. Owning one is just a different experience and your driving life will never be the same without it.

It is something you cannot just ignore, no matter how many people tell you otherwise. Brand aside, the Harley is a surprise when you first get your hands on it. Even those who have had so many experience with cruisers does not take it so lightly. So if you are the sporty type who wants a clean ride there, and racing here, it may just not be the best for you.

First, you must know that bikes of this type sit closer to the ground, as the design obviously tells you. They tend to be so big and heavy that they stick further out and glide. That is why they are also associated with bad boys and men looking for trouble. Negativity aside, this means you have to be cautious at first, be reckless later.

Those were tough times because Honda blew the minds of enthusiasts wit their CB750 in 1979. You do not really have to justify your love of the brand or think like a cult member to defend it. Over the years it is a known fact that it has earned its rightful place on top of others.

Like any vehicle, it is a real gift to own. There is an advantage to them being heavy. You would never see a light Harley because they are built to withstand touring in the fast lanes. This is what they have been known for over a century.

Hardcore drivers of these type know for a fact that it is different than the regular ones. Even if you take away the brand identity, it still remains the truth. Even the most experienced ones get the shock of their lives when saddling up for this bike, for the first time. After all, they did not become so iconic just for nothing. Their performance more than counts for much.
