Default Hello from Alberta Canada

Hello everyone !! Looks like a great forum you have here ... I have been riding for about 30 years on many different brands of bikes including a HD many years ago. The last couple years have been on a 2010 Yamaha Raider S, well 2 weeks ago I was offered a good price for my ride and decided to sell. I do custom painting and chrome and I had painted it Cosmic chrome bronze with some chameleon ghost flames. I took it to a few show and shines and won Best Motorcycle at a Car and Motorcycle Show and on Sept. 21, I entered it in a local HD show and shine, well ......I won ...top custom motorcycle and also the People's Choice Motorcycle....ain't that funny,winning at a HD Show and Shine, lol, the guys at the dealership were joking with me about it "you should buy a HD" Well, after selling the Raider (that ran perfect for 2 years) ,,,,,yes I walked in and bought a 2014 FLHTK Ultra Limited, beautiful bike,,amber whiskey and black,, It is now sitting in my garage, with A DO NOT RIDE WARNING and I am stuck making new payments on something I can't ride ..... To: HD management - I do hope you make this up to me ,,,Do I need to make my first payment on NOV 1st ?? This really sucks...winter is coming in Alberta, maybe a couple weeks left before snow ..and no ride until this clutch problem is fixed ???? I would like to think I made the right choice in buying an american made product for $34,000 dollars and this will be the last and only problem ...I have with it ...Damm , put a foreign clutch if need be.
Sorry for venting guys, but just a little upset about spending big $$$$ for a DO NOT RIDE product ,,,, guess I will wax it for the next 6 months !!! LOL
Cheers to those that are cruising down the road in front of my house, I'll be the one waving in my driveway !!
Keep the rubber on the pavement !!!

Sorry to hear your new ride is down for repair/update

The winters are long up here.......maybe a winter ride in Arizona is in order?
