Is anyone old enough to remember the AMF days? Harley is getting pretty close to being as bad in the quality and marketing departments as when AMF owned the MOCO. I own an 06 Fatboy and a 78 Kickstart FX that I ride 4 times more than the Fatboy. Why? Because even though it is AMF era, Its old enough to have all those demons exorsized long ago and now it just has pure soul. Thats what all the new bikes are missing. That and quality control
