Ok I'm going to take my chances at being called an idiot for not finding any other spot to say what I want to say or should I say ask. My name is Dea' and I work for a local news station in Topeka (hicksville) Kansas, I passed on a story to a reporter that my husband had told me about. He learned about it from watching some show Jesse James was on exposing the fact that the Harley Davidson was invented by a black man and never given credit for it. My husband is black not to mention he wants a harley more then anything else in this world and im trying to work my way up so I can give him his dream, (I'm a receptionist, long way to go). We have a Harley Davidson shop here and it's the talk of the town but the minute a black man walks into that place you can hear a pin drop. I'd like to stir up a few of those lovely people, not to mention thats where all of our motorcycle cops get their bikes from and their not "real friendly" to the black folks up here, I'm puting it nicely. I would really appreciate it if someone could send me some information supporting that a black man, invented the harley. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drlogan (talkcontribs)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WccLogo-lg.png

Image:WccLogo-lg.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Reason For Fame

I think (but have no basis, such as ratings figures, other than personal experience) that WCC's rise to fame is more due to mentions in Monster Garage than any of the Motorcycle Mania episodes.
