That's what we call ourselves now. I bought my first Harley in 1973 and I'm still riding today. The term "motorcycle enthusiast" came about in the late '80s. When Schwarzenegger, Hulk Hogan, Jay Leno, Kurt Russell, Billy Idol and his crew started showing up at the Rock Store on Mulholland on Saturday and Sundays. Parents would take their kids there to see them. The term "Biker" did not really apply to them so I guess we got a politically correct name. That is when Harleys became cool to the mainstream public... I was there and witnessed it. Shortly after that it was a year and a half wait to get a Harley because everybody had to have one in their garage whether they knew how to ride it or not.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://martinturnbull.com/2012/11/10/ship-cafe-venice-beach-3/#comment-405767">Martin Turnbull</a>.</p> <p>That’s what we call ourselves now.
