I want to purchase a Harley

RE: I want to purchase a Harley
I went through the same thing. \\; What to do... what to do? \\; I finally broke down and bought one (a Harley). \\; I do not regret it. \\; I LOVE that I bought a Harley and not a Metric. \\; For my money.... it's not only the best bike on the road, but everyone wishes they rode one.

RE: I want to purchase a Harley
I earlier posted that you should rent one and then buy one. After further thought, I say you don't need to try one out. If you think that you want one, you do. Buy the damn thing and live happily ever after. I have never rented a bike nor have I ever taken a new Harley on a test ride before buying it. The first new Harley that I bought (1978 FXS) I asked the dealer if I could take it for a ride. He said no and I said OK I'll take it. It has been a thirty year love affair. End of story.

an old biker once told me, "get a metric if ya want but Harley is the way to go.. You ever seen someone with a Honda tattoo on their arm. Didnt think so."

That was enough convincing for me!

Second try!!!!! It is very hard to understand why people feel they have to critizise a product,when so many of us that love them so.I have owned litterally dozens of Harleys over my 45+ yrs in the saddle and not one of them caused me any distress.When a problem pops up I fix it.Done deal,whining and complaining seems so child like.
