Like the other post said you can't buy a new gun from any manufacture without having it shipped to a FFL dealer because you have to show proof of identity. And far as your Texas comment I didn't attack the state you live in just stating the facts. And no I was not born rich a lot of times we didn't have a place to live had to sleep in our car or no food to eat. So I know what it's like to work hard. Next time don't loose your temper just remember yours was the first post. And also my job I don't get home only 3 days every three months and 2 weeks off for Christmas and I still put 7500 miles on my bike for last year.

I put the bike away. I wasnt hovering over it or checking on it every ****ing day. As I said before, but you purposely chose to miss, the best I can recall, as I passed it now and then while working, I saw red blinking.
For all I can remember that was the security light on the bike console and not the tender. I didnt think I had to baby sit the ****ing thing so when I walked within X feet of the bike and saw a red light blinking I figured Harley was doing its job. Maybe that was the tender, not the bike, I don't remember. I didnt think I had to baby sit. I thought the tender was the baby sitter. Maybe I need a grown up product. Oh, and anytime you want to match brain cells . . . well, never mind.

Use some reading comprehension, go back and read the part about having it shipped to my FFL. As to the miles on your bike, is that like a ***** thing, or what? What does that have to do with the thread? Who gives a **** how many miles you put on? Its irrelevant. I work 18 hours a day, six days a week in the summer and get a little riding in when I need something from town that can be carried on a bike. It was supposed to blow the stink off. I know a guy thats got less than a hundred miles on his bike of two years. Hes in the Stan killing **** sticks. I guess hes a punk because he doesnt rack up the miles like you do. As to Texas, the point was, its a might warmer down there, less snow and less ice. Go ride your bike and enjoy your balmy weather.
As for the rest of you, I said Id go out and work on it today, but I got waylaid with other ****. If you like my drama, Ill post an update when I get to it. If not, go read something else. Oh, and try reading the thread before posting some dumb **** thats already been addressed.
Im going to take the Marines advice and stand down now. Have a good evening ladies and gentlemen. Semper Fi.

Op
Before getting insanely defensive please keep in mind that you posted some very negative comments about a Harley motorcycle in a Harley forum. You had to expect that your comments would be met with some very colorful answers.
Now,it sounds like you have an electrical gremlin,likely something very simple,that the dealership has overlooked because I'm sure they don't care much about your plight,as I am sure your attitude and demeanor going in there likely isn't much different then it is here with the forum members.
If I can make a suggestion. Take it to a different dealer. Explain calmly your issues and ask them nicely to look over everything as you shouldn't be having these problems with a bike that's barely broken in. If there isn't another dealer nearby then you are going to have to try to play nice with the one you have already seen.
I really hope you find the gremlin. My Harley has been completely problem free since I got it,so I really couldn't even suggest where to start. The battery is obviously discharging. It could be in the switch,and it's not completely turning off the bike.
Good luck finding your issue,but attacking other members defending the brand isn't going to get you anywhere.

Best advice on here
I thought that.
BDD I tried the 40 post page setting and didn't like it. Most people use the default, and that's OK.

BassCatcher, you are wrong and did not do your research very well.
Various Colt SAA models were built from 1873 to 1940. Production was reinstated in 1956, the beginning of the "2nd Generation" of SAA's. 1976 saw the introduction of the "3rd Generation" (New Model) SAA's, which are still being made. Those who think there is a "4th Generation" are mistaken. Mine IS a 3rd Generation. Ask Colt.
If I wanted (and could afford) a used Colt, I would have bought a 1st Generation 1800s gun, or a 2nd Generation, around 1958 manufacture. I wanted a NIB Colt with no previous owner to start a family heirloom. You stand corrected.

Production of the 3rd. generation SAA ceased in 1982 with a serial number range of SA80,000 to SA99,999. They began production again in 1994 as a response to the interest in Cowboy Action Shooting. Changes were made and they introduced a whole new serial number for this run of SAA's. Take a look at the Colt forum and the consensus there is that represents a fourth generation but some insist that it may be a "late" third generation. I agree with those who claim it to be a fourth generation if for no other reason than they assigned a new serial number series for it.
You stand corrected.
