a wee bit more info may be needed if you are expecting any meaningful exchanges here

unless this gem is the forum equivalent of shouting and cursing after reaching your boiling point in a given situation....

i'm thinking it's the latter?

I don't need to hear the details and still agree. It seems the boys at the MoCo are more concerned with glitz and glamour and that sells bikes. Even with the problems they still sell bikes so I guess they're doing something right in their eyes. Don't get me wrong, I won't own anything else. I just wish they would stick to what's proven and stop with all the frivolous changes that keep backfiring. Build a 2000cc Sportster engine and put it in a Softail frame. I'd probably buy a new one of those.

In this forum there is a political section, a gun section, sports section etc.

What we need is a whiners section.

And give the members the ability to boot a post into that section...

A lil more info would be helpful. However I do agree quality control should be improved, and more testing should be done prior to releasing a new product or design.

This seems to be a common, or more common reaction for the guys who can afford 08 or newer, guess sticking to the older stuff and letting you guys sort through the new issues is the way to go,,,Looking at buying a 2012 SG, in about 15 years, keep the trouble shooting going.

Mercifully brief. As soon as he calms down, I'm sure there will be more!
