Description:
Over 45 years ago, America was a simpler place. Back then, men were men, women were girls, and a double cheeseburger with a chocolate malt was considered a well rounded meal. Tom Scott, owner of Harley-Davidson Of Anaheim-Fullerton in Fullerton, California, has his share of good memories from that era. After all, it was during that time that he fell in love permanently with Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. "I'm the youngest of five, and my older brother had one," Tom, a Pennsylvania transplant, says. "I worked for my brother on the weekends and saved my money. I had my first Harley® bike, bought and paid for, at 15. It was always Harley. I've never owned anything else." He laughs. "Brainwashed!" However, he also contends that the motorcycling industry has come a long way since then for the better, believe it or not. "I never thought I'd see motorcycling evolve to what it is today," he says. "When I was growing up, if you rode a motorcycle, you were known as an uncouth, uneducated monster whose only interest was to make trouble for someone. I read that in the paper and wondered, even back then, how I could improve that image."
