NOTE: This is not in any way bashing Harley Davidson or those that ride them.
I was visiting the other day with two of my friends that ride Harleys. While standing in my driveway they were discussing Harleys new models and some of the old models that they have either owned or have ridden. What struck me as being interesting listening to this conversation was that I didn't have a clue what they were talking about because they used terms like FLXD, FLHS, FLSC, etc...... I'm pretty sure I looked and sounded a lot like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor with my chin in my hand, head bobbing, mumbling things like "oooh yeah, that's a nice bike" and "ooooh oooooh, oh yeah, great ride".
If they would have used words like Electra Glide, Fatboy, Sportster, etc... I would have at least understood what they were saying.
Questions:
1. Were they speaking Harley Code, kinda like a secret handshake for those who own a HD?
2. Is there any way to quickly decipher this code without having to purchase a HD or is that the only way?
