Slinging slurs is a lame way to make your departure. You are basically insinuating that everyone that owns and enjoys their HD does so because of a lack of understanding, intellect, or their inability to make a informed purchase. According to you, almost every manufacture makes a superior machine, and although you tried, only a dumb chit would buy a Harley.
I think that the actual reason you didn't buy a Harley is that you lack negotiation skills on the same level that you lack people skills. Statistically speaking, the reason you bought a Scout was not because you actually wanted one, or that you skillfully negotiated a better deal, it is because you were pissed that you couldn't work things out on a Harley. Bottom line, you paid too much for a Scout to prove to yourself what a genius you are. Enjoy.

My first bike was a Honda VT1100 I got it over a Harley because I bought into the hype. Well that bike left me stranded on the side of the road three times in a year. I almost gave up riding altogether but then I got my Fatboy. I’ve had that bike for over 2 years with no issues after12000 miles.
As far as the OP goes, he can suck on a lemon with that sour puss.
It isn't quality of bike, it's quality of life. The guys that love Harleys understand this, the ones that don't buy something else. That's ok, we all enjoy what we end up, life is good.
Some of us like to sample as much of life as we can, and end up with Harleys, Hondas, Yamahas and Urals in the garage. Nothing wrong with that, either. Find what makes you happy and ride; enjoy life, it doesn't last forever.
Wait, don't leave out Suzuki...I like my two Suzuki motorsicles just as much as I like my RK.
For the OP, C'ya and don't let the door hit ya' in the *** on the way out.
He spent a whole ( maybe ) month here ... hardly enough time to wipe the drooling from his face ... Adios, Sayonara, Aloha, Arrivederci, Ciao, Via con Dios, Shalom, Bon Voyage, auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir, Shalom, Addio, Hasta la Vista, Tchau, La Revedere, Tot Ziens and farwell ... See ya!
After multiple frustrating attempts to engage with several H-D dealerships, I am giving up. Harleys are like the cool girls in school – you want one based on emotion, but know that it is a vacuous desire because there are much better and more reliable options. Rational thought says move on against emotion. I would like to acquire a new HD, but I just cannot justify the cost when other American, European, and Japanese manufacturers are putting out better quality bikes. H-D owns the emotion for sure and the desire is there, but I am going to jump on my scout and go roast a hog! Later folks…

GOOD for YOU, your HS English teacher would be proud. So, take your POMPOUS *** somewhere else.
BTW, the Cool girls said "huh", "whatever".
