need to vent about rushmore
So I need to vent. I have a 14 SGS. I don't profess to having been riding my whole life or having only had Harleys my whole life. The fact is I haven't been riding that long and have had other brands of motorcycle before my first harley (road king classic).
In my limited experience I guess my vent is..what the eff is wrong with people? How is it that there are so many people that fine so many things to complain about these motorcycles? It is simply such a joy to ride and tweak and change and add to and again...ride that I simply cannot understand why so many have problems. The shocks hurt, the wind hurts, the seat hurts, the exhaust is to loud the exhaust is to quiet the radio stinks the navigation doesn't tell me I'm pretty and on and on and on. So even though I don't have 50 years of harley or riding experience..here's hoping that whatever it is that is bothering all you people works itself out and you can sit down and enjoy your ride. It certainly cannot be the bikes.

Not for nothing but I thought this was another rushmore complaint thread. And clearly from the title it appears to be
Maybe you could change the title to "Need to vent about others complaining about Rushmores"

Welcome to the new "pussified" world of modern day Harley riders....Bunch'a sissies!
Just turn your back to the ******** that can't stop cryin' about whatever the latest complaint they can come up with is and enjoy your motorcycle.

You are so right, people bitch about everything!
I really hate the name Rushmore, and it is too hot today, my feet hurt and my arms are getting shorter as I get older....or are they really printing stuff smaller than I remember, I forget.
What was the complaint?

My local dealership had a 100 bike poker run this morning, I can tell you the Rushmore FLHTK kicked *** two up. How's that for bitching.
Oh, and my bike was the coolest one running... Literally

No different than hanging around the local watering hole shooting the breeze. People talk about what they like, what they don't and how they fixed it. Lot's of good info and ideas get kicked around here based on someone's complaint. And some bitching too. Like I said, no different. This Limited is the best bike I've ever owned or ridden, and I've ridden a few. But it has had some minor hiccups that I resolved here.

tweak and change and add to? you are talking about a bike that is going to run in the upper 20's out the door--sometimes a lot more. some people think that a bike for that kind of money should be a lot better than what harley offers...you know things like performance and handling/suspension. a sound/gps system that has been up-dated several times and still has problems. it may be the best bike that harley has ever offered--but is that really saying a lot? everyone has an opinion, and the harley apologists are going to weigh in saying it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. it is better than the previous offerings.
