As always, Dawg is the best!

Hey do you think the GPS positioning and security feature might show up in future models stateside? Would be a good way to deter thefts...

Thank you Dawg! You rock!

Doesn't look like there were a lot technical updates this year for the non-CVO bikes. Interesting that the touring line still doesnt' have the HDLAN electrical system.

Rant Follows: So would it really kill Harley to build ONE domestic sport oriented motorcycle? 883R, nope, 1200R?, nope. XR1200X?, nope. Superglide with twin disk mid pegs and actual suspension? Nope. VROD for two up and mid pegs? Nope. How about a bike that has more then an afterthought of a seat for a passenger (outside a touring bike)? The standard naked motorcycle is truly dead in the USA. I am surprised that a touring bike hasn't shown up with a bobbed rear fender. Rant Over.
