For all of those out there who poor scorn on the reliability of HD Motorcycles (By this I mean the guests and rice burner riders) Take a look at this link as I don't think that any other motorcycle in the world would have put up with this !

Great story! I like how they decided to 'fix' an engine guard that was bent when they hit a stump...do a u-turn and run into it with the other side of the bike.
