Default Electrical need during idling

Hi fellow Harley Riders,

I am currently pursuing my MBA and am conducting a study of Harley Davidson Touring models regarding the need for additional power to run the accessories especially during idling. Kindly help my research by filling in the survey via the link attached.

Probably not a wise move for anyone to open a link to a "form" that someone with 1 post places on a forum.

How about you introduce yourself. Tell us about you. Where do you go to school? What is the purpose of your study? What made you select only HD's as opposed to other cruisers, or even all motorcycles?

You give, you may get.

Your doubts are fair.

I am Vikram, a second year MBA student at Babson college, wellesley MA.

I have put up a survey/ form to collect user inputs on this topic because I am currently working on an academic consulting project for Harley Davidson (cant disclose much about the project sorry).

I would be happy to talk further to anyone interested.

In order to take your survey we have to sign in (with our passwords) to a supposed Google site. Ain't gonna do it. Can't verify whom I'm giving my password too.

It sounds like a rather unusual request to me ... Troll?

ok. All your concerns are valid.

I will create a survey in an open platform so that you would not be asked for any password.

Hi all,

I have created the survey in a different platform so that you wont be asked for any personal details. Thanks for your inputs.

You can create an onsite pole, right here. I'm sure you will get more action with it, rather than your current position.

Exactly what is wrong with our "higher education system", glean all the information from all sources available with absolutely no basis in fact instead of getting the practical experience. These kids will be put in management positions spewing all their "learned" (borrowed) knowledge. Some will even try to get a one size fits all health care plan paid for by money "borrowed" from those that have worked hard for it and did without to save a little.

I bet he would get more action with a pole, they are much more entertaining than a dang old poll.
