FREEDOM FOR ALL
ALL FOR FREEDOM
A
ll For One, One For All. I recall this as a Boys'
Scout in elementary school at Jack and Jill
School, Roman Ridge. It resounded the
message of brotherhood, family and purpose. For
me, Tuesdays were the best days at school. It was
the only day amongst the rest of the days where we
get to have extra curriculum activities. The girls
had their Girls' Guide, then the drama club - the
sports section - that's all I can recall at this moment.
I am not sure why it was the best until in my now
young adult life. Going to Mfantsipim School for
my secondary education, I opted for Visual Arts;
at the time, I had no idea what it is I was going in
for but I was sure it wouldn't require much study-
ing - I'm not lazy, I just like to be free most of the
time. I like freedom. The freedom to be me - the
freedom to express myself. My father made us
grow in freedom and I happen to be a Libra too.
Inside the Harley Davidson motor showroom,
I noticed in the lounge area a huge print design
on the wall with the inscription "Freedom For
All, All For Freedom". Much similar to what
I used to recite in my Boys' Scout days. Interest-
ingly that phrase “All For One, One For All” is
by Alexandre Dumas in one of his all-time clas-
sic novels ‘The Three Musketeers’. Rami (Dealer-
Principal) and who is now my new friend tells me,
Harley Davidson is for people who seek freedom
and that is undoubtedly true. Why would some-
one spend so much on a motorcycle? Drive with
so much finesse as if time has suddenly stopped?

I have always dreamed of owning a Harley
Davidson motorcycle and the only reason I
want to do that is so I can ride and enjoy a lit-
tle freedom from everything. I don't want to
ride for the sport of it - No! Neither do I want
to ride as a means of transportation. I want to
ride for the pleasure of freedom. An ideology
that seems acceptable to every Harley David-
son motorcycle owner. It is with this ideology
that the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G) was
formed. This ideology is the backbone of the
Harley Davidson brand. A walk into the show-
room situated in the heart of one of Ghana's
prime communities, Roman Ridge and one is
welcomed into 115years of this ideology and
tradition. The showroom is simply amazing!
This world-class ultra-modern store, has on
display an array of products which include the
various models of motorcycles by Harley Da-
vidson, apparels, souvenirs and accessories.
The Harley Davidson motorcycle showroom
makes you feel legendary. The store is equipped
with an in-house café – so make sure you try
out their Cappuccino while you feast your eyes
with all that the store has in stock for you.
Test rides are also available for you. So, buck-
le up and heard towards memory lane and
have the ride of your life in total FREEDOM!
