backofbeyond, I agree with your analysis - so I am focusing on one particular comment.

IMHO: obvious to me... many Harley owners need to be worshipped - why else would a sidewards glance, as a Harley overtakes you, reveal a rider almost prone with outstretched arms configured Christlike while crucified. Some Harley riders ride with throttle and clutch positioned well above their heads. Perhaps telling the world how persecuted they feel?

I have a little game I play whenever I can, and it is very often here in Flagstaff along Route 66....
I enjoy riding my KLR 650, my NX400 Honda or my G650-gs BMW (depending on what continent I'm on) each with 30 plus country flags on the panniers, into the midst of the Harley riders as they mount or dismount and pass out my business cards. (see card below)
Then, I offhandedly ask : "Any of you boys ever ride to Argentina, I will park your Harleys for a substantial discount."knowing for sure half the group have not a clue where Argentina is...

Most look dumbfounded, some trying to figure out where Argentina is, others knowing full well that all their horsepower and their worshipability (new word) has just been usurped by this older gentleman wearing a Shoei helmet, and flag stickers from every country of the world - and probably best not to be messed with!

One, usually the obvious group leader, after studying my card for way too long....... always asks the question - "Do you rent motorcycles? "No, way too much liability." I reply, "but, I will park yours if you can get there..."

Then, I ride off into the foreign sunset - as the Harley riders shake their heads in wonderment.
