"By James B. Kelleher. CHICAGO (Reuters) - Harley-Davidson, the U.S. motorcycle maker, insists it isn't nervous. But analysts and others who watch the company say it's in the middle of a coming-of-age drama that might be called "Uneasy Rider." As the Baby Boomers who transformed Harley's rumbling, lumbering bikes from countercultural totems into American icons enter their senior years -- the leading edge of the generation is turning 60 this year -- they're increasingly in the market for knee and hip replacements, not Harley's notoriously bone-shaking bikes. That's forcing the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based company to scramble to find new customers among women, blacks and Hispanics -- groups that have not been traditional Harley-Davidson riders. The quest has involved the development and rollout of new products, like the 883 Sportster Low, built for smaller, lighter riders, and new marketing efforts, like Harley's TV ad campaign during the NCAA tournament this spring."

"Next, I drew up a more finalized draft," Chis said while at his drawing table. "I got lucky cause he liked it without changes. Usually I don't take the art this far without client pre-approval to save me from redos. At this stage we discussed other colors and metal finishes that he'd like to see in the final art. I then printed copies of the black and white art and hand colored them with the two paint schemes. Besides the paint and wheels, I colored the exhaust and oil tank different on each version since he wasn't sure which way he wanted to go. The coloring could have been done on the computer, but I decided to hand paint them."
