Harley-Davidson~
Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, such a sexy label to me! And yes most men prefer to take a good look at the motorcycle rather than staring at pretty girls butt! :p hehe I remember last few months when my boyfriend and I were on our way to Low Yatt Plaza in Imbi street, and he talked about Harley-Davidson. I had to admit, YES, I'm in love with the 'huge' bike too! And yes if a Harley-Davidson bike parked near Low Yatt Plaza, sure I'll ask him to take hundreds of my pictures with the bike~ haha... You'll see them on facebook an hour after that! :p *don't hate me~
