RE: HD Sucks, Why do you own one?
I absolutely love my Glide. The dealer that I purchased from treated me with nothing but respect and honesty. I would not hesitate to recommend either a HD or the dealer that sold me mine. I can not say the same thing about the other bikes (from a 90cc Yamaha twin, to achopped Norton Commando, to a BMW RT). The EG has always been my dream ride and now that I own a Harley I will never buy anything else.
Besides, its not just a bike, its a lifestyle.

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.

Seems like 80% of the whinning and complaining on this forum comes from about the same 10 or 12 posters. Funny thing is most of you know exactly who I'm talking about

i own both they all have problems. the only thing about harleys is that they havent changed very much so is kinda old school tech (air cooling, push rod , seperate trans, giaint primary chains, just to name a few) but they are just so cool to ride.
