Yes sir,it's all a big conspiracy by Harley to get a bunch of dumbsh*ts convinced that Harleys are great bikes and then tosell themcrappy bikes so they will spend money at aftermarket vendors to make them run right. Hey, makes perfect sense They screwed up with me and sold me a good bike that can go over a 100 mph and blows cars away from a stop light, which is good enough for me. I did spend some money (not at a dealer) to get it to run richer, but I knew that before I bought it. I must bea freakin genius! Or maybe I'm just not as dumb assome of the dumbsh*ts. I sure wouldn't admit in public that I spent 15 or 20 grand on a bike and didn't know what I was buyin, then bitch and whine about the evil Harley Corp. that pulled the wool over my eyes cause I was just too trusting to know any better. Give me a f*ckin break.

 

Snicker snicker. Are we talking about GA is in Georgia here? Please report back after you've tried that at 11,000 feet asl on a 10% grade.

I love my Harleys and wouldn't trade for anything. They do everything Ineed them to do.

However, my grown son has one of those 2000 cc Kawasakis (sp?) and it does make me wonder why Harley doesn't do something more. I'd buy.

Honda has an 1800. It can't be about EPA rules or something could it, or why could the ricers do it?

Just thinkin'....

Maybe you got fired up when Andrew Hines' set the NHRA Pro-Stock Motorcycle sub-seven-second run with a 6.991 (ET) quarter mile. Maybe you like the smell of blue smoke and testing your reflexes as the Christmas tree lights go green. Whatever it is that motivates you to the drag strip, we've got just the machine for you.

You have got that right!

Those guys at the MoCo are pure genius the way they can manipulate the common man's thought process.

 

Back in 1971, at 16 years of age I had a Honda CB750-Four. That sucker would scream. It laid white smoke from the tires at virtually every stop sign and barked the tires through the gears. For some reason, possibly the way I broke it in, possibly because I barely weighed over 100 lbs back then --my 750 seemed to be faster than most other 750's on the road. The only other thing supposedly faster in those days was that Kawasaki 500cc triple cyl. job that sounded like a Dremmel tool.

It's a wonder I lived through those days but it was fun while it lasted.

As much as I liked being king of the hill among local street racers, the siren song of that maiden Harley-Davidson was tugging at me. Itraded the Honda for a panhead dresser and built the custom chop seen in my avitar.

Potato-potato-potato just had more soul.
I listened to the rhythm of the motors running.
The Jap bike was plain and uninteresting while the Harley had a rich polyrhythmic texture. Sort of like the difference between a bad rock drummer and Elvin Jones.

With no front brake, I had to drastically alter my riding style.
The ridesbecame more enjoyable. Itwas more about the free spirit of the open road. A putt was for the sake of the putt. I didn't care if I could beat a riding lawn mower off the starting line.

The point is: I was only 16 or 17 years old and I knew the difference.

 

so...... what is the fukcin point here?????

mine is sotred for now,,, and will be out in the spring, putt-in along,,,,hopein ALL cars blow by me!!!

this is the same guy that wants to do wheelies all the time on his harley...
also covers his face so not to be recognised... my harley could use a few more ponies but what would I do with them the last trip I took I got a ticket for 91 mph. \more hp could have made that worse I'm happy with the way my softail runs 04 softail 510 SS cams hypercharger two into one exhaust carbed. oh ya and acane strapped on the side..

I don't agree with you .Just griping won't help .The only thing that the moco will listen to are falling sales.They don't care once they have you,and by having you I mean you've bought a Harley......................Oh buy the way did I tell you guys that I am perfectly happy with the performance of my stock 80" Ultra?Guess I bought the bike and not what I thought was a high performance race machine.
