Ride what you want, This is America. If you want to keep up w/those disposable motorcycles get a VRod or a metric. But I'll tell you from experience that if you ride w/metric riders they are going to take advantage of every chance to rub in your face that they got more horsepower for less dollars. I couldn't care less. I wanted Harley Davidson from the git go and I'm very happy. I've ridden other bikes.

 

[QUOTE=Plow64;4316843]Totally agree. You said it all.

 

Statistics show the majority of motorcycle riders including harley riders will keep a bike on average of five years max. Think about it. A people so worried about image like the harley group are, do you actually think their going to keep a bike for ten years plus ? I think not, or else we would see tons of old harleys running around. We don't. I noticed in Daytona that you were lucky to see an old motorcycle. Harley is about image. American bad *** heritage, while harley outsource's almost every part overseas. Now that's ingenues marketing.

 

thats the probelm it the$$$$ you spent i bet you got a couple of jap cars in the driveway too

 

I would be willing to bet, if harley had to keep its factory pipes and the government stop the aftermarket exaust, that harley would go down the drain like a rock !

 

LMAO DUDE ! DON'T YOU GET IT ! "EVERYTHING "IS JAP NOW ! Where have you been hiding ?

 

FLHXXHLF just a question, you wouldn't by any chance know a member by the name of TakeNoCrap would you? Didn't you do some work on your Ultra motor too, what all did you do to the motor if you don't mind me asking, dyno sheet??

 

Let's try this another way--which would you rather have, a 2010 Chevy Camaro or a lightly restored 1969 Camaro SS? How about a new Challenger or Charger vice a 1969-70 version? Yup, the new ones can outrun, outhandle, get better gas mileage, higher tech--the whole nine yards. BUT, which one lights up your day? Which one makes you want to get out and go? And do you think anyone going to be restoring 2010 cars (or non-Harley's) in forty years?

 

Yeah...and people like you aren't helping either.

 

Man that bike you posted looks good. How does thos Reinharts perform . You have a dyno sheet. Would love to see. Nice scoot!
