Default old technology

One thing Harley does so well they could teach the class. Marketing !!! How could anyone else sell old technology at top prices as well as they do???? Amazes me! Air cooled, vibrating, under powered bikes sell very well if you can sell the image thing and then chrome them.
Why would you not compete with the rice burners technology when you can sell the bikes as they are?? Tells me PT Barnum could not have been more right. If they were priced at a level fitting what you are getting then it would be understandable.

You must have lost your way on the internet. Google "Goldwing" and you will find your home forum. Bye.

And actually if you leave the stock pipes on it , Harleys do sound pretty good!! Maybe then the cities won't pass ordinances about the idiot loud pipes!!!

Why don't we ever get an original troll...do you trolls hang out at a bar and try to decide what intriguing debatable questions you'll pose next on the Harley forum, or ismommy not home and left the computer unlocked and you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time?

I would wait around for an answer, but this thread is locked.
