That's about 29 and a half too many larges.

I'll love to start a pool here on the Forum, and we all pick specific dates and exact times when they go "out of business" once again. Everyone throws in a buck when they make their date known. You can buy as many dates and times as you want. Winner take all. Yea, I know we can't do it, BUT any takers on the SLY, just for chuckles and grins??? LoL You know it's going to happen, I'm just sayin'......When?

I'm happy with my RK and have no plans at all of purchasing an Indian. However, bashing the current ownership group based on past history sounds a lot like the people who bash H-D based on what happened during the AMF years. Doesn't it irritate you a bit when some non-rider makes a comment about your H-D concerning reliability or oil leaks?
