When I was ready to upgrade from my softail, I asked my wife if she wanted to go with me to test ride a goldwing. She said "Why would you buy a goldwing? I'll never ride on anything but a Harley!"

That really made it a tough choice. Buy the Honda and always leave her at the house or get the Harley and never get to go alone???

I bought the Harley.It actually savedme money over a divorce!

As I said in the referenced complainer thread.....I love my King! Death throttle and all!

If you want to read how much people complain, go visit a Jeep board. Check in the Cherokee section about blend doors, that gets people fired up in a hurry!

If you don't like it, there's the door. Seriously, why would someone pay $20K for something that they hate. I love mine and it's the best money I've ever spent.
