They are both going after the "Harley Vote", w/ Kerry doing a better job since he actually rides one.
This is no joke, Middle-aged Harley ownership has become 'de riguer' for baby boomers, just about every other stock broker and dentist in America has one and it is a very potent *identifying tool* for humanising a candidate. It's funny, not too many years ago it would have been considered an outlaw/rebel/whatever symbol, now it's just as American as Apple pie. Ask anyone who owned Harley stock over the last 15 years.
