I don't think I said any of that, don't put words in my mouth. I simply said GO BUY A HONDA, If you are not happy with your H-D or their products then don't buy them. Some people are whiners!!!

Well, when i saw that light on the shelf i said thats looks "Eh. It did remind me of the Cylons in the Battle star Galactica series (from the 70's). I actually opened the box and after inspection i knew there was no way in hell that piece of plastic was worth the price on the box.

Purtry sick for an American made motorcycle!!
I really have a hard time with this, having owened a new street bike/ dirt bike every other year from all manufacters even my most neglected motocross bike has never had a series of problems like you describe. I have had sevreal harleys and know lots of people who own harleys and although not bullett proof imop there one of the best motorcycles you can buy.
