No Harley-Davidson endorsement for Scott Walker

It's no secret that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is a fan of Harley-Davidson.

The Milwaukee-based motorcycle company has become a staple of his stump speeches as Walker, who owns a 2003 Road King, tours the country in an effort to win over voters and donors in the 2016 presidential race.

He's repeatedly pointed out his Harley boots, and occassionally donned Harley shirts and jackets, as he touts his "everyman" image at campaign stops, including multiple visits to Harley dealerships around the U.S. He's also vowed to ride a Harley everywhere from Iowa to Nevada and New Hampshire.

And he was dubbed the "leader of the pack" last month after a fundraising motorcycle ride in Iowa hosted by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), where he was the only 2016 candidate to participate in the 39-mile tour honoring veterans.

But Harley says the company is staying out of presidential politics..........
