Everyone please read!!
I haven't been on here for awhile but I thought I would you a last remark. I am leaving for good. Before you start sending hate mail, I won't be reading any responses. So go ahead if it makes you feel better. Anyway, here goes. I bought my first and only Harley two years ago. It was the worst investment I ever made. Not only did I purchase it, I spent over $5000.00 in upgrades. I just sold it for $17000.00 and I had over $27000.00 invested. It was an ultra classic. After riding it for two years, I am here to tell you that it is the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden. My wife and I rode the skyline drive/blue ridge parkway all the way to the end. I thought I would die. Now keep in mind, I'm not just a weekend rider that over extended himself. I ride a lot. That ride was over 700 miles one way. It wasn't even hot outside but the bike "burnt me up". I sword when I got back I was going to find a bike that was more comfortable or I would quit riding. Now don't get me wrong, I really liked my Harley. This isn't just a Harley bashing. There are "some" good things about Harley, being comfortable just isn't one of them. I bought a Yamaha Venture and rode it to the PA. grand canyon,what a bike. Comfortable, cool, easier to handle. Yes, I am old and I like comfort. To those of you that want to say, " go ahead ride a rice burner, get off this forum and join a Yamaha forum", don't worry I am gone. If this post offends you, oh well. Some day you will ride a nice confortable bike and you , too, will see the light. WAKE UP HARLEY. You better get with the new millennium, or you will be gone with the wind. Goodbye.

If he was going to post and leave then why post at all? Does he think his post is going to convince everyone that rides an Ultra Classic to sell their bike and go buy a Yamaha? I doubt anyone here really cares what he rides or if he rides at all. Oh well, I guess I am crazy too, I just responded to someone who supposedly isnt even here anymore.

I am glad that he found something else that he likes (to each his own), but what is the point of making a statement like that and announcing that you won't be around to hear the response? If you want a discussion, great. If not, why not just leave?
