Default RE: wonder why

Cause they want to bitch about how it should be "perfect" from the factory, or how a dealer should kiss their *** because of the money they spent, but they still want to leave the impression that they are more knowledgable than the average internet biker. They want to take the bike to the dealer to have a part put on that they could have done themselves, then they bitch about water spots from the freebie bikewash they got. Or maybe they are just taking it to the dealer because they don't have the tools or know how to change an air cleaner cover. It probably took them a year to figure out how to wash the bike, then they still never check fasteners when they are drying it. Then they bitch about poor quality control. Next thing you know, they are bitching about how the seamstress screwed up when stitching a patch to their "colors". Or how the Grande frappucino from the coffee shop won't stay put in the Kuryakyn cup holder they got from Zanotti's. Or how their bike "lugs" in third gear, when they are only turning 600 RPMs. The list goes on, and on, and on, and on, and.................on. Oh, then they bitch about it when you reply to them and misspell a word.

When I have a problem,complaining is like a pressure relief valve.I always feel better getting it off my chest.My boss,knows all to well.Once I'm done rattling his cage,it's the same feeling I get when the toilet is flushed.You know what I mean!Some people just do not know when to quit.Too Bad

Default RE: wonder why

I try to ask questions to learn. Sometimes I get frustrated and the question turns into a bi@tch session. I have gotten some real good answers to some questions that I have posed. Lastly, I do think that if I buy something, I should expect quality. When I do not get it, I complain. Not trying to bash anyone, but will place the blame where I think it should be. All in all, I like this forum, and I like Harleys. I am struggling with some issues with mine. I am not a mechanic, so I take my bike to people when I cannot figure stuff out.

I saw it on here, no crap. hehe. I have had lots of time to read the forum since I joined. You would be surprised at some of the stuff you get to read late at night. I never drank a froo froo coffee till I came to Iraq. Now I can't live without at least one five dollar coffee a week. The sad thing is.......I stopped at a Starbucks when I was at home on R and R and it SUCKED. GreenBeans coffee shop ROCKS. Spiced Chai, baby, oh yeahhhhhhhhhh.
