Default So here I sit

Its A beautiful warm sunny long holliday weekend.Winter was long this year over 5 months here in the north east. We all waited paitently for the nice weather to arrive. Its finally here and everyone is out riding. Picnics, parties and memorial day runs.I had plans to do lots of ridingthis weekend too.So why am I sitting here at the computer you ask. Because my $20,000 POS 2006 street glide doesnt run. Yep, this time its an ignition problem, most likely the ignition switch itself (I posted the problem in the ignition section for anyone interested)but the dealer cant pick the bike up till sometime next week. I called 2 other dealers within100 miles and they were closing early because of the holiday,so here I sit. My other issues since owning this bike were the 8* injectors that tried to get me run over in traffic when they spit and sputtered, the fork lock that locked and wouldnt unlock and a voltage regulator that didnt regulate worth a S#$T. I'm sorry if I'm whining like a little girl with sand in her vagina but dammit this just makes me mad. Right now the only good thing is this forum. Thanks for letting me vent.......................BG

Damn that's a long list for an 06! Did you get it new? not that it matters,did they have the 24 mo. warranty then? Hope so. What can you say,I hardly ever hear of complaints on those.Guess nothing will help,till she's back up.Hope it's soon

Burn it and collect the insurance. Or better yet, park it near my house and just walk away. I bet most of the parts from an 06 will fit an 04 Electra Glide
