So if you guys really dislike Harley's so much and the company, why the hell do you own one?
I don't!
Since mine is not a Harley, it's a Deja Vu, I can only bitch at the manufacturer(ME). I don't bitch at me often and certainly don't post about it if I do. I love my Evo chopper and am real proud at the achievement of building it myself. After disatisfaction with my previous HD 1980 FLT I built this one.


Nuff said!

I'llWALK before I own anything else.
And from what I've been reading, walking your Harley is inevitable..........[sm=escape.gif]

Just to add to the fire, I have a couple of pals who own rice burners and trust me, they
complain just as much ! I guess it's like PSC said, complaining has become a national pastime!

Some people just like to throw the word "suck" around. Hell, my kids, wife, and dogs suck sometimes too...but I wouldn't want it anyother way. After 22 years in the military...I have heard folks bitc% about anything and everything...it's like the new national pasttime. They just need to shut up and ride.
ain't it the truth. maybe their lives are so perfect in every other aspect all that's left is to bitc% about one of the things that gives them pleasure. How fortunate are we all here to have a scoot - so many will never have or understand the enjoyment that comes with it. Why not just enjoy?

There are some bad,good or great ones I think is a matter of luck. The same happens with every other mechanical things you purchase like cars,trucks,tractors, boats etc.....I dont know if I would walk if there is something else with a motor i could ride or drive

Harley riders have always been resistant to change so anything new is always a problem with us.

We as a group aremore emotionaly involved with our bikes than any other consumer group. That's why we get a little crazy when thing aren't perfect.

Harley's are a love them and hate them and can't live without them relationship.

I tried to be happy on other brands it didn't work. I couldn't kid myself. They were not my Harley so I came back for good.
