The whiners started showing up when the forum grew from 3,500 members to 65,000 in just a couple years. Of those 65,000 there are relatively few whiners, but man they are LOUD![:@] Prior to this rapid growth, this was a Harley lovers' forum.

5000 trouble free miles on my 08 Ultra. I think the MOCO has done some nice things with the 09's. My 08 is one&nbsp\\;of the best Harleys I have owned. Still puts a smile on my face every time I ride.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

We all encounter problems at times and it is nice to have all of you to turn too for help but bashing the motorcycles we all love is bull. We should be positive and not negative. Gee Whiz our own bodies are not perfect yet we still live with our imperfections. The glass is half full not half empty. I am also tired of the bashing.

Anyone have some cheese to go with that wine? I remember the old days, well, not as old as some of you, but my first bike was one of those AMF shovels. Good God, now if you needed to complain, those were ones to complain about. The evos were pretty good, the twin cams are even better. So you have some heat. Better than sitting on the side of I-95 blowing out the jets of your carb, or a host of other things that I could mention.

hey HD...you can turn off the brain washing machine now. It's done it's job!!!
OK here we go again this is a Harley Davidson riders forum not a HD bashers forum
If you hate HD start your own HD Haters forum you'll have plenty of posters that agree with you and we won't miss them.
BTW Good luck on finding your perfect bike or MC company out there [:-]

Thanks for starting this thread.&nbsp\\;I was beginning to think this was an anti Harley site.&nbsp\\;I just got back from a 4,000 trip and my wife is ready to jump back on and go again.
