RE: If you hate, HD touring bikes, post here
ya know someone posted on here that a family member died due to that tbw so i think they got a right to be upset ( my prayers to them and their family) some folks have had severe burns due to the heat they have a right to complain. the 07 and the 08 should have been tested more thouroughly the 09 should have been released in 07. its not a matter of hating hd its a matter of being dissapointed. after 106 years you would think they could do alot better than they have. many folks bought hd cuz its an american product as i did, but truth be known they are not living up to there name or iconoic status

Seriously, I'm starting to think that this is a HD haters forum with all the complaints, threats of lawsuits against the MOCO and the general whining cuz your skirt melted due to the heat, or got caught in the TBW, or caused the engine to race, or your bike to wobble...So if you fall into this category or think that the 09s have even bigger problems...then post here and let those of us who are actual riders and who understand what our machines are have the rest of the forum[sm=biker2.gif]

The reasons I wanted a Harley since I was a young 'un are some of the \\;things folks are complaining about. The raw, pure mechanical sounds and feel of an H-D are an experience second to none! It took me 20+ years to get my first Harley, but it was worth the wait. Sometimes when something starts to get under your skin, ie 5th gear whine, ya gotta step back and take in the whole experience. Get on the rumbling, rattling monster of a machine and put it in the wind! Thats why you bought it in the first place! Negativity is contagious, don't get to close to it or you'll catch it. Ride and Be Safe Brothers!!!
