Wait, why is the Grim Reaper distributing Christmas presents? Is that supposed to be Santa? According to Harley-Davidson, yes it is. Their version of Kris Kringle, brought to life in a new commercial by Marcus Nispel, rewards those on the naughty list and commandeers a fleet of Harleys to pull his sleigh. Why he doesn’t just ride one flying Harley is beyond me; it would look way cooler, and it’s not like they’ve kept to Santa’s original, cherubic image anyway.
