Motorcycle Co.Colors on Aircraft Query

[Cobra]

Hey Guys, an Idea hit me that Caused me to Post this Query:has Anyone ever Painted an Aircraft or Helicopter in the Colors of a Motorcycle Co.? i had an Idea about getting a Huey Hog Helo kit and Painting it in the Color of Harley-Davidson. think it would work? What say You? thanks for looking.Dan

Well since every conceiveable, marketable object on the face of the planet has been branded "Harley-Davidson" at some point, I suppose the "Hawg Helo" would only be natural: think how many HD-branded strimmers and hover mowers they could sell off the back of it....

Watch they don't sue you though: HD are very litigious when it comes to their image. A guy I know runs a T-shirt stall at rallies which used to sell a number of shirts with "pithy comments" about Harleys on them. Then they expended two years and relays of lawyers on suing him and threatening to sue him, so now he sells all the same shirts with the same pithy comments on them, it's just that they're about "American Motorsickles" now, which, of course, means that HD's sainted brand image is now totally protected from their evil influence.....

One of them says "If a certain American Motorsickle Company spent as much on quality control as they do on lawyers, maybe people wouldn't want to buy T-shirts taking the p2ss out of them"....

(Back to the plot, there is (or was) another shirt, not one of his this time, that said "If Harley built helicopters, would you fly in them?".... )

Okay, well when you re-paint the Huey, be sure to take one, but not both, of the balance weights off the rotor hub. That should make it feel just like a Harley.....

Possibly, but certainly not in the same class!

Yes, indeed: Harley's wern't in the class where the others learnt about handling, brakes, ground clearance, power-to-weight ratios and progress for a start.....
