When did this thread change from "M8 problems" to "I live my M8"?

I was wondering the same thing. I just want to hear from the people who are having problems, and what Harley Davidson is doing to make it right. I'm really happy for the people who have bought new bikes and are not having a problem, but that's the way it should be. I don't really want to filter thought the one's where the person has had good luck to get to the information I want.

Hmmm, I thought Elvira was gone. I am happy to be wrong in this instance.

Ride Safe.

And let's here it from some more happy M8 owners.

Good for you and her. I thought you were crazy to let Fiona go... Glad Elvira was a good upgrade.

I really wish I could have kept Fiona, but circumstances just didn't allow it. I miss that bike, but no doubt this new Limited is the right tool for what I do.
Thanks for remembering the 'green' bike.
