The Changing Image, Background & Economics Of Heavy Weight Motorcycle Riders

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The influence of Harley-Davidson motorcycles upon popular culture has experienced a significant metamorphosis throughout the past several years. Once the image of dirty, unsavory troublemakers, Harley bikers have worked hard to abandon such an unappealing reputation in exchange for a collection of civic-minded, upstanding citizens who have placed their entire heart and soul into the aspect of heavy weight motorcycles. Debunking this bad boy image of motorcycle riders has not been an easy task, inasmuch as the old, unflattering distinction has had a tendency to stick in the public's mind. However, the very nature of motorcycle riding has taken on a new image and vitality within the broad aspect of expanding contemporary lifestyles. This revived reputation has been responsible for attracting more professionals whose desire is to project an image of wholesome fun, community contribution and the freedom that is inherent to the Harley-Davidson experience.
