Elton John was the "surprise" final act at the Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary festival back in 2003. He comes out in a royal blue jump suit and begins playing to 75,000 groans. After a couple of numbers, he gets up and says, that he doesn't have a motorcycle or biker tune in his repetoire, but he has this...
Then he sits and begins playing ....Rocket Man....

Oh Brother! Did HD catch a world of $hit for booking him. Jim McCaslin, then Harley's President and COO at the time, later apologized in writing in the Harley Owners magazine .

Well. To answer that question, Bot.....

I do !!

(In fact. I'm a silly aeroplane junky. The more, the better.)

And, I'd sure like to give that suit a go too.
