Ha, I noticed the same thing. I was shopping for my Harley and my brother wisely steered me to the older bikes instead of a like-new one. I'm a gear-head at heart (built a V8 jeep, 600hp whipple supercharged boat, etc). I wanted a bike I can play with. I love the new dynas, but damn, most owners don't even change their own oil, let alone wrench on anything. Most of posts there deal with bolt-ons and hearsay.

I was laughing at a guy here at work- at the harley dealer he picked up some fork dust caps with flames on them ($60). The parts guy said, "you know the whole front of the bike comes off to put those on?" When he quoted $400 labor, the guy put the part back on the shelf. hahaha, I just rebuilt my forks last weekend and it was fun- some people are afraid to unbolt anything.

Crap happens, helped a 1000 kawwie rider last year, wire chafed through his ignition. Had some wire and wire nuts in my bags, had him down the road in half an hour. He was grateful as that he said about 50 bikes went by and no one stopped. To be honest, I did ride by, then turned around to help out.

Lol, I can understand about the pain with the Dynas but check out Bratstyles SR400's. Sweet little bikes when you cant afford a big one.

As long as you haven't test driven a Prius you're forgiven.
