Joel Smith sent a message to Matthew S. Levatich - President and Chief Executive Officer of Harley-Davidson, Inc. - Email Address that said:
Hello, my name is Joel Smith, I am a Roman Catholic seminarian for the Diocese of Des Moines. I do not know if you are a religious man, but I would just like to say that you lead an organization that provides more than just motorcycles, it provides a base for an even larger community. I help lead different religious and Pro-Life motorcycle groups throughout Iowa, and hopefully will be expanding soon. I do not have any requests, critiques, or criticisms; I am purely writing this email to say thank you for running a reliable company that leads to much more than just a motorcycle. I, at the moment, cannot afford a Harley being a college seminarian, but I ride a 1986 Honda Shadow VT1100C, and nearly every male for the past 3 generations has owned a Harley at some point in their life. Although I have not purchased one yet, you have already earned yourself a life time customer in me as well as multiple other Catholics that use Harley Davidson Motorcycles to establish a greater community.
Thanks!
Joel Smith
