Below are sentiments from Barnett Harley-Davidson’s GM, Mark Barnett, and his good friend, Leslie Kaye of San Francisco.    Rodent got involved with Barnett’s Magazine early, sending in reports from all corners of the country with countless photos documenting the Harley rally scene. As he crisscrossed the USA, he would stop in for a week or two in El Paso and keep me...
