Did 600 miles on Fathers Day.. My only problem will be getting divorced for not being home at all. What a bike.

 

OK so just maybe, he didn't know about hdforums.com?
He was searching for similar issues as he's having?

If the guy is a fake, that's his problem. But it's starting to come across that anyone that discusses these issues is considered a troll and that's non-sense.

I hadn't been on this site for years, after I got the 14 Ultra and noticed the GPS was reporting the wrong direction, I searched it and this website came up a number of times. I had to find my username & pw, after I signed on I saw threads relating to what I had and as time's gone on and I have additional issues, they're noted here as well.

Recently some have started the "Give the haters crap" squeal. I'm not a "hater", but I sure as hell don't like the MoCo & dealer(s) telling me "we've never seen that before".

And then to have someone judge me because I want others to know the issue is not an isolated problem?

I made one dealer aware of this site and the Rushmore forum. And after that I seem to have their attention. I don't expect them to fix it on their own (that's Harmon-Kardon & HD's) job, but at least the dealer doesn't hand me a line of BS.

 

I think you have that backwards...

"Get a divorce, buy a motorcycle" was my saying. I hadn't ridden for awhile, wife wanted a divorce, I got our son, raised him and bought a motorcycle.

Now he wants a crotch rocket, where did I go wrong?

 

I wish I could also say, "this was the best bike I ever owned", however, I found myself with a severe situation with the water pump which made a 5 day break down a nightmare.
I was on a long distance trip.
Rode 1086 miles the first day. The bike is a dream on long distances. Wont ever forget blasting across the plains in Nebraska and Wyoming.

That being said...the third day of the trip I found the coolant pump failed and the fans circuit breaker popped and would not take another fuse....keeped blowing the circuit I guess.

It was a Friday..parts ordered at the nearby dealer (75 miles away) after I was assured that riding it w/o coolant was fine and they would put it in writing. I got unlucky and a trike took the last in stock pump. So Monday would be the earliest the part would come into the shop.

So for me just about every coolant related component on the cooled biked has failed.

I would never go out on a limb and say "all water cooled models are junk" but I think a major problems exist.

 

My 14 SGS has been trouble free 3k miles so far.

 

I almost feel guilty for not having any problems yet. I only have 900 miles on it though, so my luck could change. I will make sure to let you guys know what a piece of crap the bike is, if necessary.

 

Yes I was. I was eating frog legs at the time and had a brain fart.

 

One or two issues is one thing. He did not go into any detail, and just named about every part on the bike and said...ETC

Sorry, you are naive

 

Agree 100%. I'm really getting fed up with the jihadists here who decide they want to lynch someone who reports a problem.

 

"jihadists", really? I don't bash anyone asking about a problem. I do have a problem with these types of threads from a person who just joined the forum and this is their first post. They gave no introduction, no background, etc. Instead they jump right into problems. And I'm not one of those guys who hate on others for hating on the Rushmores. Trust me, my bike has had it's share of issues. I welcome discussion about the problems. That discussion and information has helped me tremendously.

At the time of this reply, there have been 29 replies to the original thread. Not once have I seen the OP chime in since their original post. I still call this classic troll S#*T!
