Brad richards interview

He was also at the Paradise Road Show , where he discussed the new generation of Harley fans and their aspirations with MoCo products. The choice of bikes and cars, the vendors, and the music by the organizers is very thoughtfully done — great curation.

Murray Harbour native Brad Richards is a Conn Smythe winner and two-time Stanley Cup champion, and Andrews Hockey School in P.E.I.

Richards said he was surprised by the younger crowd at Paradise. They come from another generation — completely new. Each new generation discovers and identifies with Harley-Davidson in their own unique way. The Paradise Road Show is evidence of this. In that respect, and as evident at other well-curated regional shows, the brand is extremely healthy and will be here for generations to come.

Richards observed that traditional custom shows mostly feature bikes that are built in exaggerated dimensions and totally extreme.

Rangers center Brad Richards talks about why he chose to sign with the Blueshirts as opposed to Calgary or any of the other teams that wanted him.

He says the new generation rebels against that mindset and prefers bikes that are more usable. We see the seeds of future trends appear at these shows. So, balance within the product portfolio is key. Electra Glide Revival, from our new Icons Collection, is evidence of this. It proves our continued commitment to the core products that made this company so great — creating balance within our product range.

Richards is a hands-on designer as well as a collector with more than a dozen bikes in his stable, and he is particularly fond of Harleys from the s through the s. In addition to his Lucki-Pan FL mentioned above, he also has a FL Knucklehead that took him six years to restore, so he readily understands the allure of the vintage Harley experience.
