Correlation is of course not causation, but the move hasn't hurt them at all. Some would argue that it provided the Harley aftermarket a better means of creating their own brand identity for their products rather than having everyone co-opt the Harley names which gave a sense of sameness to everyones stuff.

Does Harley sue motorcycle clubs for using the word Harley? Like I said, I can see this in terms of product but bashing websites and companies that PROMOTE the brand amoung fans seems to be counter productive.. and Ford didn't even invent the word.. The also say they will protect the word "Pony".. so I guess no more Pony Rides.. just "small horse rides".. lol
