RE: Dissatisfied with Harleys
Sometimes it just makes people feel better to Bitch. You have to take the things these people write with a grain of salt. Sometimes when a person is pissed, they have a tendency embellish the facts.
I have owned several different brand of MC's, my Harley is by far (its not even close) the best I have ever owned.
You can learn a lot here on this forum. Has both saved and cost me a lot of money.

My Two Cents = Harley Owners/enthusiasts by and large are some to the most caring & generous peopleon this planet. Theygive their time and donations yearly to thousands of worthy causes. I for one, am proud to part of such group. Do we have warts? Yes who doesn't. Don't judge the forum by a tenth ofa percent of threads/postings.The entire forum as a whole are made up ofpeople withheart, passion, and compassion. If I had to stand shoulder to shoulder with peopleI didn't know personally. These would be those I would choose.

RE: Dissatisfied with Harleys
I started one of the threads that Candy Azz referred to earlier - HD versesVictory. I hope that people realize that I was not bashing HD in any way. I was trying to point out that I felt the HD was a more solid all around bike than the Vic that I rode. I am very happy with my bike - actually, I just installedRush slip-ons yesterday andthey reallysound awesome. It is just like when I first got the bike - I am making up reasons to ride. Gotta love that!!

First, you don't need to own a harley to come in here and bash them.
I could go to a Yamaha forum and say crap about them.
Me? I owna Goldwing....a 1996 Aspencade. You want to talk about their
weaknesses? I know about them. I have a 200 Fatboy.....yup. Heard about
them too. 1st law I wrote down:
"If it has wheels, a prop or ****, it will give you problems."
I rode the Harley today, riding the Goldwing tommorrow. Wave if you want to.
High fives to all the Vets out there. Fly the stars and stripes!

Finally, winter is setting in and it's starting early this year;
According to this thread, here's what we've learned; harley's are junk,harley's are thegreatest machines on the planet,youcan bitch, no you can't bitch, leave, don't leave, some are bikers, some are enthusiasts, harley owners are unbelievably generous, harley owners are whiners, owning a harley is the essence of cool, owning a harley is no big deal, they break down, no they don't.
I figure by January about a 3rd of you will be going Postal on us[sm=shootshoot.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]
In all seriousness, my wife andI came about as close to dying this summer as I ever want to come........have a beer, relax, enjoy your bike, spend the winter working on it and thank your freakin' lucky stars that you can get up everyday to do those things

I don't think it's so much the complaints about little things or even the "stealerships". It's the comparisons to other bikes and comments like "the Victory POS is so much better than the HD Softail" or whatever. If ya really fell that way, sell your bike and get off of this forum. Ya bore me.
Obviously it has to be said again...Owning a Harley is not about it's awesome power or ability to corner like a sportbike. They're not really built for that. They're torquee cruisers that make you grin from ear to ear when you ride them. They're the escense of cool. They're for those of us that know we want one just because we want one...for our own reasons. If you're not one of those people, move on. You'll never get it.
