Default If you hate, HD touring bikes, post here

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]

Gotta agree with you! I have never seen so many "grass is always greener" bitchin, whining, moaning people in my life. God, if they are pissed at the bike they own sell it and quit F'n riding!
&nbsp\\;
God created us and we have problems, do we hate him and want to sue him too?
&nbsp\\;
I love my Harley and it's not "perfect" but it's a damn fine machine and we enjoy it thoroughly.

The Harley Rider community has gotten very soft(pussification is the term)&nbsp\\;over the past 30 years.&nbsp\\;Many are very senstive to heat, vibration and other problems.&nbsp\\; If these guys rode my 81 Shovelhead for 100 miles, they would never ever complain about there twin cam ever again.
