RE: HD Sucks, Why do you own one?
The way I see it is: Some people just need something to complain about.They must think it makes them important or something.I for one, have got too much living to do, to be pissed off at everything.Complainers age faster!!

RE: HD Sucks, Why do you own one?
Actually some people would bitch about a BJ being bad.
I ride a Harley because I always wanted one. I don't care for some of the treatment by some dealers(who I try to avoid) and I don't like the cost of some of the H-D stuff(so try to buy aftermarket when I can).
Other than that(which is a lot of people's complaints about H-D, Ford, Chevy, etc.) I love the bike.

So if you guys really dislike Harley's so much and the company, why the hell do you own one?

It's human nature to b*tch and comlain, or so it seems. If its not our bikes we are growling about, its our job, wife, truck, kids, or price of gas. Some people aren't happy unless they are b*tching and complaining.....
My last bike was a 1999 Honda Valkyrie....and having put 92 K miles on her, my only complaint was tire wear and the expense of replacing those tires. By keeping a better eye on my tire pressure and fewer burnouts, I replaced fewer tires.
Hopefully my new 2008 R/G will bring as much enjoyment and as little b*tching and complaining as my last ride.....I see no reason it shouldn't.......

There's lots of complaints onBMW message boards, too. Most are about rear drive failures and recalls forre-maps. As statedabove, it's human nature to complain.On the other hand, bikes like Harleys and BMW cost big coin. We have highexpectations.

I must be one of the lucky ones!! I've been riding Harley's most of my life. For me it's pride of ownership, I love the bike I like the company, but let's face it nobody or nothings perfect so if you truly like riding a Harley then man up fix the problems you may have yourself quite depending on the dealer get a manual and get over it. If you ride a Harley so you can wear the clothes and say you ride a Harley then Shut up and get over it or buy a BMW!!!!

I hear it all the time too. My brother-in-laws both have Honda VTX 1300's. So to give it back to them, I carrie a small bag of minute rice in my windshield bag, and when ever we stop, I sprinkle some under their bikes... people look, point and laugh as they walk by!
