RE: really pissed at the MOCO
I went over to the Barber Motorsports Museum near Birmingham last weekend, and marveled over all the Harleys from past years dating all the way back to 1903 (I think...). I gotta tell ya, the Electra Glides of the 50's, 60's, and 70's looked wonderful, but significantly more "crude" than what we have today. Each year it seems that they get better and better.
I think about a Porsche add I saw a couple of years ago. It said something like "building the best car we know how". Each year R&D and manufacturing find small and not-so-small ways to improve their products, and I am impressed with how HD has "improved the breed" over the decades. I think it's fair to say that the '08 Ultras, Fat Boys, and Sportsters are the very best that HD knows how to make. And they will get even better in '09, '10, and the years to come.
I love 'em!

RE: really pissed at the MOCO
Having spent most of my working life in R&D labs of all sorts, it has become clear to me that the best designs with the best lab research will never (even with computers) be able to anticipate all real world situations. The Vrod is a prime example of excellent development work, but I'm sure there will be a few whines and moans now that they have hit the road. The suggestion of "never buy a first year model" is based on real world experience. Don't do the Moco's development work for them, if you do, don't whine about it.

RE: really pissed at the MOCO
Hmm well as a bitcher along along with a lot of other folks, hey if you want to dump 20k on something that does not work properly that is your business. I spend this kind of money it had better work properly and not over heat or sound like it is going to blow up at any moment. FWIW.
So quit your bitchin about the bitchin or maybe you guys just need something to bitch about too.
