I just shake my head at most threads in the Rushmore section. I think it's filled with a lot of new Harley owners and riders. They freak out over the dumbest ****. So yes, put those threads in a sub forum. Call it Rushmore Day Care.

They are shocked their bikes are hot, something be wrong.

It is because of them dealers don't have time for real warranty work.

This is exactly why a sub forum might work. It would take buy-in from the moderator, but holy shirt, I'm so sick of cry babies howling about everything from wind buffeting to being hot that I think a Bitch/Moan/Complain sub-forum is warranted.

I would like to see more positive treads about anything but...the MOCO is a POS, I hate my dealer, I'm going back to a GW, my BMW rips a limited, I sufffer from incontinence/impotence and blame my Limited.

I'm already backing WAY off on my visits to the forum because of all the rookie drama. I'd suggest to the drama queens, just get back in you Prius and keep the bitching to yourself...

Just count the sniveling posts today...

Don't like it...tough shirt...go buy a GW...

Yeah, you guys are right. Before the Rushmore sub forum came along, there wasn't any bitching about heat, buffeting, the MOCO, or parts failing. And nobody asked questions about how to do something or change a part, because they were all experts straight from their mother's womb.

I don't have a Rushmore. But I think dealers suxk. What is the point in a warranty, when they blow it off.

Bikes are getting cheaper, knowing riders won't ride them.

They fought to over come reputations, but for over 10 years have said screw it.

They know they could sell fake dog poop with bar and shield, and people would put it in yard.

What is annoying is they think they are special snow flakes.

Should just be in a sub for of TC.

First the Limited guys thought they were specialer then the Ultras, who forget they are an Electra Glide. Can say the same for FLHX.

So I vote you guys should be in subforum of TCs.
Thinking that owning a piece of machinery makes anybody "special" or "spectacular" is for the grade school kids anyway.

All it really means is that somebody had enough money or, more likely, credit good enough to buy one.

Who gives a ****? It's just a scooter.

It took a while, but now I’ve learned to skip the whining threads, especially anything to do with “GPS, wind, heat, or what color?” Maybe a sub section would work or at least a section “How to use your GPS/Why you don’t like you info system.” It seems like some just don’t understand it’s a MOTORCYCLE! It gets hot, you get wind in your face and it’s not going to ride like your door slammer. Have a feeling that they’re old and grumpy and they most likely bitch about everything including their bike. Wait, I’m old an grumpy… never mind.
