The 09's problems are out already

there is a short in the steer by wire senser causing it to always steer twards the local bar,saloon,watering hole.
Why is this a problem?

Baggers will no longer come with IDS. It will be an extra cost item but will come with a lollipop.

I finally got my 03 to do what thumper05 had said and now I hear that HD actually engineered them in for 09?

It ain't fair!

He told me top speed is 200 mph, it comes with a 300 rear tire and gets 65 mpg. Sounds like I'll be trading up. Can't wait to see them in the showroom, I bet the dealers won't be able to keep them on the floor. You better place your order now.
