I live in Wisconsin, home of Harley-Davidson. We have many things in abundance here in Wisconsin, including beer, cheese, corn fields, casual racism bred by living amongst only white people, and Harleys.

Now, when people think Harley, they might picture someone riding it who looks like this:

Sweet handlebar.

The reality is, most guys riding Harleys share the same uniform: a crappy t-shirt, tucked into dad jeans, wearing particularly hideous white sneakers. And of course, no helmet.

I was reminded of this fact, because one of my coworkers who is very much a stereotypical midwestern dad type, just walked by in a crappy t-shirt tucked into dad jeans, and white New Balances very much like the ones posted above.

He doesn't have a Harley.

Yet.

I saw a man wearing a leather jacket and riding pants, gloves, boots and a full faced helmet on a Vespa while on my way home today. It was hilarious but honestly, I'd do the same.

That's a horseshoe, not a handlebar.

yes! I am a fan of this post. In my mind if you buy a harley you like traditional things mechanical things american things. but then you dress like an old man who only cares about comfort and this makes no sense and its almost as bad as the guys who ride a harley but have to dress up in this costume just because they ride a harley. chaps boots leather vest (what does this even do?)

For some weird reason, New Balance is the #1 among the few German Neo-Nazis. Maybe it's the letter "N"?

The funny thing is, I have lots of sneakers, and appreciate some nice good old school suede New Balance runners. I have both of these:

But they make some ugly ass crap too.

Sometimes the shirts have sleeves, sometimes they don't.
