There are a number of reasons why harleys dont depreciate, some have already been mentioned. They are also generally owned by older affluent people who use them on fine weekends, keep them garaged, well serviced and since image is very important they keep them looking good and scratch free.
Generally harleys dont change that much(aside from the Vrods and buells) so theres less incentive for people to update their bikes as the main reason for buying the bike isnt effected year by year. (such as they wanted the worlds fastest sport bike or what won the Isle of mann proddy)
$15k? more like 30.Originally Posted by madboy
I used to take the piss out of Harley's, then I rode some.
I'll still take the piss out of some Harley owners though. Note that I said owners, I'm referring to those that do 500 k's in a year. They're not riders.
Nothing else gets the attention that Harleys do, if some of the more desperate young'uns on this site want to get laid, sell the TDF sprotbike and the 'jussed up' leathers and buy a Hardley. Get some tats and two days stubble too.
I'm not guaranteeing which sex will hit on you though.

Stupidity kills people.
Thanks all. Seems my thoughts match what you all posted.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
I'll give that a try too.Originally Posted by OMGWTFBBQ
This'd be from your own personal experience with the leathers and tatts then Lou?

BD, as I am a total PS noooob, and was awe-struck by the second example of your "quasimoto" logo, would you mind telling me how you got that sweet outline for it?Originally Posted by Big Dave
Is it just a slightly bigger outline of the original text with a smooth bevel on it?

Pah. These young 'uns have it too easy.
I remember working half the night on a hotted up Mac IIfx running Photoshop 1.5 under System 6.0.8 to do some tricky stuff back in about '91.
Back then no such thing as layers. Or multiple alpha channels. Let alone layer effects. I had a 12 inch Apple colour monitor and a Radius Pivot (remember those?)
Used to save all the alphas as separate files, load alpha to selection and use some previously worked out image calculations to achieve these effects.
Ah the good old days...
Good to see someone else has been using PS as long as me Big Dave...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
