Default problems

you all know there is more to a motorcycles than just get on and ride.you do your research before you buy.and you take the money that you use for clothes or chrome and have any maybe problems down the road fixed before it gets to that point.you due enough research and you will know what that bike good points are and the bad.nothing is perfect you take your time and money and use it wisely you will have a great bike .anytime you have mass proudution you will have problems . look at all the auto's and i do mean all they all have had recalls for one thing or another including our friends over sea's.it just sounds like some of you buy a Harley and expect perfect it's not going to happen and i'm sorry if i bust your bubble and there is people who buys a new bike and never have a problems it is just the way it is .think about the people who build these bikes are just like you and me .some come in on monday morning witha hang over or still stone. what do you really expect i know we all spend alot of money for our bikes .well no matter what you buy you spend big bucks.but to get to my point is Harley is just the best bike out there and yes it has it's bugs but so does everthing else out there.so just make the best what you got because there is alot of people out whish they could have what we do.

Ok.....sporty2003.....I get your point and I do fully understand your post, but I have just one question. I am assuming from your grammar & spelling that English is not your native language, am I correct?
I am not trying to be a smart a$$ or trying to be rude. I just wanted to know.....I was able to understand you just fine, and in general you didnt seem to have any problem getting your point across. You just need a work on it a bit more, and and it would be perfect.

Amen. I understood you fine and agree in spirit with all you say. There are problems with all manufactured goods. As long as someone makes good on it, I am ok.
