- My Dad bought a Harley in 1965, Had it painted purple with white pinstripes. Sharp ass bike. Mom made her and dad outfits to wear while on Motorcycle runs. Purple vest and pants, purple plaid shirt, purple tie. then they had black leather belts and boots and of course to top it off helmets to match the bike. My oldest brother is a year older than I am and when he turned 14, (in Vegas at that time you could get motorcycle license at 14) Mom made him a matching outfit. My turn was the next year and of course I got mine too. They had mine and my brothers helmet painted to match the Harley. We would stand up as a family at the runs and we won many trophies for the best dressed family. I even won one at 15 years old for best dressed female. It was the time of our lives (mine anyway). I am now 58 yrs old. Not able to ride anymore because of my health. Mom and dad have long since stopped riding. My Brother now has the Harley and still goes on runs. I am very happy for him. The bike is running very good after years of loving maintenance. Not bad for a bike that is 46 years old.

- Legacy is invested on the things that are of vital aspect to the company. This may include the value that you give to the quality of products and services that you offer to your customers of varying cultures and values, as well. One major factor that a certain product or service stands still through the test of time is the fact that they have this powerful logo design that captures the attitudes and emotions of the people.
