Like Karen said above, we are a privately owned forum so "Freedom Of Speech" does not come into play here. We have rules and we enforce them. Most forums with no rules don't last long.

Maybe they are starter Harley's from the entry price to get a Harley but definitelty not from the riding aspect. My Softail is much easier to ride than the Sportster....
