I'm here now. I didn't post because i'm busy working OT trying to pay for the $1100 repair bill!!! [&:]

 

Hey Bubba, when was I crying??Did I ever use the term "crap"? No, I did not.Apparently Bubba cannot read. I guess that 6th grade education of your didn't teach you anything did it. READ THE POST. First off, it's not my buddy, you rocket scientist you. It's my brother. I in no way bashed or ripped HD, I just simply questioned whether or not they are AS reliable as some of the other brands out there-in example a Honda since both my brother and I have ridden them for years up to the HD purchase with no issues. I'd have the same question vice versa if it was the other way around as well.

As for the "I could buy a latte machine or GPS" comment, I'm guessing you offended some of the HD Forums with that comment as I see quite a few posts about GPS on here periodically. I'm also guessing there are some latte machines as well. Get a clue buddy...

Let me help Bubba feel better. The HD is a far superior, much more reliable, and just unbelievably dominant motorcycle compared to anything else out there. It NEVER breaks down, the service at all HD Shops is impeccable, and the quality is just unmatched by anyone. Throw in the fact that they HOLD their value this makes ownin an HD a "no-brainer"....get my drift Bubba the Love Sponge??

Happy Riding!

 

No one likes having problems with their ride, most come from the aftermarket mods that are done. This situation is much more prevalent as technology is forced down our throats via the EPA. Come on, 02 sensors, cats etc now on these bikes, computers with specific programming to meet EPA/CARB crap! I see issues all the time with these diesel truck owners, literally destroying $18K motors with aftermarket parts. All I'm saying is, once you depart from stock, expect to have issues. I also have a saying, you got to pay to play! And it costs! There are some things I don't buy pre owned, Motorcycles, boats and cars! There are reasons these are for sale.

 

Man, I hate to hear that your brother had so many problems with his HD. Sounds like he bought it with some problems to begin with. As far as spokes and the like, there is some checking you should do routinely anyway. I do. Just to make sure everything is o.k. I hope your brother will get what he wants so you can hit the road again. **** happends though.

 

Thanks Sharkeydude. Always sucks more when you have nice ride planned in perfect weather, and have to cancel due to crap like this...

 

hum... I smell antagonism... Trolling is punishable by death!

 

I hear ya! My brother-in-law laid his down on Friday, (back brake locked and he let off of it...you know what happended next...el flippola) got put in ICU and broke nearly all of his ribs and his collar bone. We had a ride planned through Texas for the week of July 4th; my parents live there so I am taking the OL and the bike, but now, I guess I'm solo. My sister is insisting I still bring the bike so she can ride with me some since she won't get to because of her OM's wreck.

There will be other perfect days.

 

How am a troll sbdynafan?

 

When you come onto an H-D forum and post antagonistic remarks running down Harley's and stating that a Honda is a superior machine, you'refishin' for reactions...you or your troll brother should expect that you'll get your *** torn...comes with the territory...

 

Makes one wonder what responces youexpected.....50 peopleto post back andsay, yea.....We too wish we had bought Honda's, our bikessuck and are expensive too, break all the time. We alljust agree, Honda makes a better bike more reliable, and wonderful scoot..... Is that what you really expected here?

For the record I have had 3 Harleys. 1977, 2005, 2008.....All three in their own right were bullet proof. Yea, I know not what you wanted to hear......................

I am done with this one.....As I said earlierbetter luck in another forum....You might hear what you both want to hear.
