7 May 2008We don't do fearThe Harley-Davidson guys ran this in a print ad last week in USA Today, and since I would dearly love to see this turn into a cry for a rally, I'm copying it over here. (Because I need the occasional reminder myself, doncha know.)
We don't do fear.
Over the last 105 years in the saddle, we've seen wars, conflicts, depression, recession, resistance, and revolutions. We've watched a thousand hand-wringing pundits disappear in our rear-view mirror. But every time, this country has come out stronger than before. Because chrome and asphalt put distance between you and whatever the world can throw at you. Freedom and wind outlast hard times. And the rumble of an engine drowns out all the spin on the evening news. If 105 years have proved one thing, it's that fear sucks and it doesn't last long. So screw it, let's ride. Words to live by.
