The Good: That I actually got the FXDC for an awesome price minus freight and prep charge...

The Bad: That I have to finance it, that they got rid of the Wide Glide (my dream bike) and that they put on that stupid limp d*** taillight on the Street Bob (sorry to those that like it)....

Priceless: That I actually own a Harley....

Bad: No lube or anti-seize on axles from factory. Both axles on mine had to be beaten out on tire change.

The key placement on my 08 FXD is absolutely ridiculous. Other than that, I love it.

The Good = The looks of envy , the positive coments of approval , knowing that i own my own Harley.
The Bad = The price HD charge for anything and then refer to it as specialist or an upgrade , anything assosiated with "HOG".
The Ugly = A Stock Streetbob , they just cry out for being personalised.

The Good: The wife loves to ride whenever the kids are gone.

The Bad: Thewife loves to ride therefore never getting to ride alone.

The Ugly: The 2up Sundowner that I put up with cause I never get to put my solo on.

Also the fact that I'm always putting money in it sucks as well but I figure if it wasn't my bike it would just be spent on a car anyhow so F..K IT....
