I believe we all think about our Harleys like our ladies. We love to complain to all our buddies about her crap, but we sure do love riding her too!

Well I gotta say I'm sure glad people complained about the camm shoes on the 88s cos before I read about them on here I didn't have a clue, oh and the crappy bearing as well, dealers sure don't in my experience broadcast these faults.

When you do right, no one remembers. When you do wrong, no one forgets.

We do this on purpose; the more people back out of buying a Harley, the shorter the wait at the service department.
