I just bought a new 2010 Ultra Limited about three weeks ago, pretty much takes away any excitement about the 2011's.

Probably no talk because 2011 will not see any significant changes.

Default The Real News

Harley will tell EPA to go to hell and start building Harley's again! Timken Bearings, no overlapping EPA CAM's, no catalytic converters or lean AFR setting's from the factory.

Oh! by the way, they are going to do this by moving all corporate headquarters to China plus production! As a Chinese company they can sue the U.S. EPA in the WTO and keep exporting Chinese Harley's made to pre 07 specifications!

I made a pact with myself when I retired that I will buy a new HD each year and keep the old one.

So far so good. 07FXSTC,08 Buell Ulysses XT, 09XR1200 and 2010 Ultra Classic.
Next year will be a Dyna then I will have one of each air cooled bike families that HD has. The VRod - I don't think so at this time.

HD will cease production of every motorcycle, lay off all workers, except the accountants in charge of licensing the HD logo. Thus assuring the MOCO of a lifetime of profit, with out having to do a darn thing
