HD don't give a ****. They are sell less bikes but at a 30% or more mark up. With a lot few dealership. They wiggle out of many warranty claims saving a lot of cash.
And the bikes they are selling are made of a majorly of recycled parts from other years. they have created a market that allows them to no carry much of a part inventory resulting in huge profits.
They got this all figured out. When Stock prices get just right a lot of it will be dumped as the fools rush in.

Huh?

You hate the company, we get it.

Why do you torture yourself by owning a Harley?

You're obviously using the wrong oil....

I use the best oil there is and never had a problem....
