According to the news yesterday, quite a lot, 60+ ships in Los Angeles.

I very nearly punctured mine when I ran over a piece of scrap metal in the road earlier this year. I have a nice deep gouge in the oil tank from it. Fortunately it didn't puncture or crack the tank.

The world hasn’t turned against you, because your part for your non essential toy is delayed.

Thats a pretty dismissive and az hole thing to say. How do you know it is a non essential toy? Just because your life is such does not mean his is.

I know 3 individuals whose only means of transport is their motorcycle. All young college kids who rely on their bike for cheap reliable transportation. And had plenty that worked for me while I was still in the military that relied on them to get them to and from the squadron for work so they could defend your entitled snotty self.

Dont project your carlsbad rich stuck up snotty life style on folks

I had my dealer print a list of dealers that showed my backordered part in stock. First one I called is shipping part. Technology is a wonderful thing.

The 2 Harleys are my main transportation, there is the Suburban to use, but I don't like leaving the Mrs. without a ride, somedays she has to ferry grandkids as well, so...not a non-essential toy for me. Really don't want another cage, but if things get to be unavailable, might have to, though automotive world isn't much better AFAIK. I even cancelled a long trip, mainly not to put 2,000 miles on a vehicle right now.

Hopefully, more parts, etc. become available sooner rather than later.

Lots of people live in their own little bubble, that's why we have distracted, rude, road raging, etc. drivers on the roads.

A first time poster (who evidently just arrived on this planet) joins to whine about a part on backorder, and people aren`t taking him seriously.

The Horror....

No reason to be rude either. Probably why some never come back. Take your own advice and lighten up yourself.

Are those back ordered parts being replaced under warranty? If so, I understand the dealer would need to wait till they arrive from MoCo and you can’t do anything about it. If those parts are not being replaced under warranty, there is zero reason why you couldn’t locate those somewhere in the country. Any good parts department can do a nationwide parts lookup for those parts at other dealers.

Only Dan can post rude and insulting things. You other guys haven't been here long enough. If you're a new member, make sure you know Dan's rules. No talking about out of stock items. It's very rude and inconsiderate to the old curmudgeons who are bothered by, everything.
