So Long Harley...Hello Victory
Well it's a done deal, sold my '06 Road Glide and will be getting a '09 Victory this weekend...I added up all the EXTRA stuff I put on the Road Glide (King Tour pak,Bub 7 Exhaust, backrests, intercom, and other stuff) If I had had it ALL done by the dealer when I purchased my '06 it would have been on $25,000 without Labor....
Now I am looking at a Victory with everything that my Road Glide has and then some things, like the 106 V-Twin (can't find any b!cthing about the motor) a 6 speed tranny (I know Harley NOW has one but not in '06), and a few other niceities that Harley doesn't offer....
So I say so long to Harley and the MAN CHEST BEATING and will go to a brand where it is OK to discuss other brands on motorcycles and not be critized for even looking and discussing a brand other than HARLEY...yes there are other motorcycles out there besides Harley and they have there place in the motorcycle world...to bad the MOCO doesn't understand this subject...
I saw a post here a couple of days ago talking about the next generation of riders and the person who posted it is dead on...The "IT'S A HARLEY" mentality is going the way of the dinosaur....Who wanted a wide rear tire anyway?
Anyway, I know I will be flamed but it's just my opinoin and everyone has one...but I'm over the "IF IT ANI'T HARLEY IT AIN'T A MOTORCYCLE CRAP" Later MOCO!!!

You seem awfully concerned about what others think.
Perhaps a Harley wasn't for you in the first place?
Enjoy the new bike.
