Default Dave Zien Flagged by H-D for his Bike's Accessories



Dave Zien is one tough dude. He served in Vietnam and on the senate floor in the state of Wisconsin. He even grew a helluva bushy beard, which must be a real sweat factory.

Back in 2009, he logged a million miles on his vehicle: a 1991 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. (He must have Wolverine's spine.)

It's almost fitting that he finds himself in an equally tough position these days. The clutch on his 2014 bike went out and Harley-Davidson is denying Zien's warranty claim. His motorcycle only has about 15,000 miles on it, so mileage isn't the problem. The seven flags on the back of it and the wind resistance they add are.

Harley spokeswoman Maripat Blankenheim said, "The issue isn't that the flags are heavy, but they provide terrific drag on the engine and the transmission, especially when the bike is at highway speeds."

The company also stated Zien was not using H-D flag mounts.

Perhaps it is Dave Zien posting under cover, to make sure he gets his point across. LOL

I thought you had to have a certain number of posts before you could post pics...how'd he do that with only 1? Or am I mistaken?

His picture is not an attachment.
You can post pictures from any website using the "IMG" tags and they will show up.

If you posted pics as an attachment, then the rules you refer too apply.

All he did was post a link back to the picture located here: https://www.hdforums.com/articles/da...n-mile-harley/
