Short for Harley Davidson, a marque of American made motorcycle. Manufactured since 1903, the Harley Davidson's most recognizable features are it's 45-degree V Twin engine and distinct exhaust sound.
Harley Davidson dominated the American motorcycle market until the mid-1960's when Honda introduced a line of smaller-displacement less intimidating lightweight bikes. The smaller Japanese bikes could not match the performance of the then ing-of-the-hill Sportster, a bona fide street racer and land-speed record holder and still the best selling middleweight motorcycle in history.
But, the less-intimidating Japanese machines became top-sellers, and changing times hurt Harley Davidson sales.
Harley Davidson was acquired by AMF in the 1960s and quality, along with sales, plummeted. The "AMF Years" almost dealt a death-blow to Harley-Davidson and saddled the motorcycles with a bad reputation which has, unfortunately, been hard to shake, even though the current production bikes have a reputation among motorcyclists as having almost bulletproof reliability.
In the 1980s, Harley was bought back from AMF and completely re-vamped. Quality was back, and customers flocked to dealers, and still do.

(v.) When a product or service inflates its price so high, it alienates its original customer base or demographic that gave the brand cachet. Subsequently, the new customer base is often the opposite of the original in terms of style, prestige, or "cred".
origin: Harley motorcycles are now so expensive that the people who originally helped cement their image of iconic rebellion can no longer afford them, and what's more it does not make sense for a scrappy, rebellious type to give a large corporation money. Who does have the money? Bankers, accountants, and other "weekend warriors" who are anathema to the original zeitgeist of what the brand embodied.

"I'd love to go see Van Halen, if they happen to be back together this week, but the cheapest ticket is $100. Man, they totally Harleyed."
"I'd love to get some indie film tips, but SXSW is all velvet ropes and trust funds now. It didn't take them too long to Harley, did it?"

Harley is the type of girl who jokes around. She could get on your nerves but you would end up laughing. Harley is an awsome listener and she would make you feel better. Harley is very attractive and has a great sense of humor.

A boy that has impeccable style, extremely hot, most addicting personality (in a good way), unfathomably beautiful, is pretty much fantastic in every way.
When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.

Overpriced, outdated, underpowered, icon of America's lower class often used to remedy mid-life crisis by pretending to be an "outlaw" biker while riding fewer than 200 miles per year, often to a bar.
"Sure, 9 out of 10 people would want a Harley if you asked them but then again, 9 out of 10 people don't know shit about bikes"
