A lot of inaccuracies in that post. Are there any Harley knowledgeable folks in that group?

Only need to know how to "curate" articles from the Internet (copy and paste) then change it up a bit to make it look like your work.

And we thought people who did this in school would never have a job

That is a major WTF article. Honestly that is embarrassing on an HD Forum, zero clue what they are talking about.

Copy of what I just uploaded to the Contact Us form:

"The "Curated Content Editor" threads have been deteriorating for a long while, but "5 Best Harley-Davidson FXR Models You Can Buy" is just pathetically ignorant of HD history, and an embarrassment to Harley Davidson Forums. Just terminate these once and for all; PLEASE. "

The purpose of these CCE articles is the hope that people will visit the site to read these interesting and informative articles and view the ads that IB sells.

I use an old app for my phone called Garage Talk, which apparently is not supported by HD Forums, It works fine. If by not supported, they mean I can't see the ads, they're right.

I fully agree. Only 2 FXR's. Maybe they should get some one to do the articles that knows something about Motorcycles. Heck, even an idiot should be able to read the letter designations of the bikes in the article and know only two are FXR's

My first Harley was bought August 1984. A red 1985 FXRS low glide just like the one in the picture. Put an S&S stroker kit in, mini apes, everything chromed. Put a different HD tank on with tach and speedo moved onto the tank. Picked out some graphics and had Harley paint it to match. Electric quick shift. On and on. Rode it to Sturgis several times.
