I have not followed the audio craze, but do enjoy some music when I ride. I heard the stage 2 RF system on Saturday with upgraded stage 3 6x9 bag speakers. The dealer had upfitted 24 RG and was demonstrating it. I thought it sounded good, has a surprising amount of bass in the bag speakers. I know sound sitting still vs riding is completely different. If I were buying new I would probably have it installed since it would be included in the 2yr warranty.

i normally have 5k miles on a bike between thanksgiving and easter....i had a bit of a distraction shortly after the holidays, medical wise, i'm good, but i'd have been going apeshit long before....as soon as I started feeling good, i remembered "Oh yeah, i have some 'going apeshit' to do!!"

i picked it up on Friday, after they 'fixed' the audio....it didn't make it 11 miles to my house without cutting out again
harley is not capable of giving me the bike I paid for, and right now, the only strategy anyone involved has is 'hope'....HOPE IS A SHITTY STRATEGY!!!....i didn't pay for hope, i paid for a fully functional motorcycle
i'm being sincere when I wished this had gone differently, once an attorney gets involved, and there are signatures and a retainer....the whole thing takes on a mind of it's own
i'll be honest, if not for the fact that it's me suing my dealer and harley, the whole thing is pretty interesting, i've never sued a big giant corporation before, it's not necessarily a bucket list for me, but it will be an interesting experience
it's a big firm, about 20 offices across the country, i would never have access to this kind of help, but the fact that my sweet wife is a senior legal assistant in their main office helps....the attorney would normally not mess with something this petty....the cost of my bike is an average retainer for this fella...., but they appreciate my wife at this firm big time, and he's actually pretty eager to get involved...and he rides an Indian
i bet his ****ing radio works!!!

Damn
that sucks. You cant be the only one dealing with this. Perhaps you can Lemon Law it
I dont know what the laws are in Michigan but your attorney will know all your options for resolution.
Makes me wonder why Harley customer service is sooooo out of touch with customers. I know if I treated my customers this poorly, I would lose all my contracts and my company would let me go in a heartbeat.

at this point, it's too late for diplomacy....about a thousand attorney's across the country just got a conflict inquiry from my attorney.....it's a formality, as we already know, HD has never hired this firm....like I said, once you get these things started, they take on a mind of their own
last time I hired an attorney, i ended up single, with the house, and the kid...and most of the money...different circumstances, but if this goes as well, I'll be as grateful as I was then to get out of a bad relationship

Sucks you have to deal with this. Hopefully the phrase "bag of dicks" makes an appearance somewhere in a legal brief. Don't forget to take that pipe off and put the factory one on before it goes back to the mothership. I'm calling dibs when it goes to the classifieds.
