I can't narrow it down to just one thing in each category:

Best: Simple enough that I can do much of the work myself. There are few vehicles I can do that with anymore. Most of all, the way it makes me feel when I ride it, or even see it sitting in the garage.

Worst: Noone around here works on them, so I HAVE to do most of the work myself. Parts cost a fortune.

Best: It's a Harley. I still get a thrill every time I climb on. I just couldn't feel like that on any other bike.
Worst: To quiet. It's still stock. The one piece of the whole Harley experience I'm missing.

+ 1 on the best.
Worst? Trying to find time to ride my Harley. I took care of that quiet problem before I even got her home.

Best = The drunk driver who hit me paid for it.

Worst = The nine months of physical therapy before I could walk/ride again.

Best: Feel. Nothing compares to the Harley magic.
Your worst trait (Air Cooled) is most likely why you and so many other agree with your best trait.

There is no "Harley Magic" about a V-Rod. There won't be any "Harley Magic" about a water cooled Electra Glide either.

That doesn't mean I don't like V-Rods. It means I like air cooled push rod engines in a classic frame.
