Default Wow!

I can't believe how many folks are posting negatives about the new models with no experience on them. What is it, can't cope with change?, Jealous?, Just like to bit*h? Hmmmmm.

I checked out the new models in person, and I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. Harley hit a home run this year. Too bad I don't have the cash to trade up.

Yes I see that too. Would be kind of weird to have a 12 or 13 103 and now they make a HO 103. I know a Polaris rider and he has nothing good to say about the new Harleys. He loves Victory and Indians, just has to be a Polaris.
I have a 11 King and next year I will be on a 15 King, cant wait.

LOL, you think this is bad??? I remember when Harley dropped the Shovelhead in favor of the Evo. This new bantering is joyful play compared to the hate those guys espoused.

Not being a bitch...just not impressed and don't want to wait for months on aftermarket parts to catch-up. My bike's paid, rides just like the '14's and is broken-in to my liking. Everyone has their right to their opinion...

You can't believe it?? Half the posts on here are people bitching about something MOCO, it's hard to believe MOCO sells any bikes as bad as they are. I know they're not perfect, bikes or dealers, but sometimes the bitching gets to be too much.

Harley riders love bashing their own bikes and then we have Victory, Goldwing, Beemer jockeys that have nothing like the Harley forums who drop in to talk crap about stuff they wont ever get anyway.
I'll join the bashers next year if the MoCo doesn't bring back the road glide

Most of the improvements are things HD should have done years ago. As far as I am concerned, they are just playing a little catch-up. And they are not caught up yet in my opinion. Accolades? I don't think so.
